Life
“Books are life. Everything else is just details.”
I never call, I never write. Why do you put up with me? The truth is, I've had nothing interesting to say. I've been working constantly, watching the new TV season while catching up on housework, and generally wearing myself to a nub trying to get things done. What the hell … [Read more...] about “Books are life. Everything else is just details.”
Hurricane stuff.
All the Katrina links are in the sideblog. I'm too angry to write. I might have to cancel all my fall plans, because there's a strong possibility that I'm going to be camped out on the steps of the White House and/or FEMA headquarters, wherever that is, SCREAMING MY FOOL HEAD … [Read more...] about Hurricane stuff.
Oh yeah…
… I'm still here. Things have been hectic at the new(ish) job, and my writing group has been holding extra meetings during the summer. Blogging time shrank to nil. Sorry for falling off the face of the earth. So, writing. I don't think any of us have come close to meeting … [Read more...] about Oh yeah…

I just went through, for the … [Read more...] about Server log analysis
Where’d Steph go?
Sorry for the quiet. Steph went and changed jobs. I've moved from the A&M Health Science Center to the System, which is a step up the food chain… sort of. Basically I've abandoned this site to its fate (and I see the upcoming events list is already hosed; dammit, I … [Read more...] about Where’d Steph go?
In which your hostess makes a brief appearance
ConDFW was a lot of fun but has left me a little worn out and, of course, way behind on a lot of things that needed doing. I avoided the illness that was steadily felling the guests, but now I'm surrounded by sick people at work. I expect I'll become dreadfully sick just as … [Read more...] about In which your hostess makes a brief appearance

Life in a basement office
The high water alarm is going off. It's not raining. It's not even cloudy. Needless to say, I'm not up to my neck in water. For some reason, I'm just deeply amused that we have a high water alarm. … [Read more...] about Life in a basement office
The freaky people come out on Sundays
A gray-haired woman in a red minivan just pulled up in front of our house, stopped there for ten minutes or so, then did a complete circle in our corner (which requires a pretty tight turn; we're not in a cul-de-sac here), stopped again, then did it ten more times. Bizarre. If I … [Read more...] about The freaky people come out on Sundays
