Which File Extension are You? That was a fun quiz – lots of cool results. Coming soon, I swear: More on Linucon. Updates on the Job. Other random nonsense. Speaking of random nonsense, apparently I signed up for NaNoWriMo this year. I'll be as stunned as anyone if I actually do it – I haven't the slightest idea of what to write, just a vague memory of enjoying writing. I've got the rest of the month to figure it out.
We're back from Linucon. Wow. This was such a fantastic weekend and I'm really sad that it's over. This short entry is all I can manage right now, but there will be a full report soon. Probably tomorrow night. I will say that playing in a poker tournament with Wil Wheaton was a hell of a lot of fun. I didn't make it to the final table, but I hung on a lot longer than I expected to! I also can say that caffeinated water is an experience.
Wow. Just… wow. I am completely geeking out and it's just so cool! It's 12:30 am right now – I may or may not be able to post this because the wireless network here isn't working at the moment. It's probably overloaded. When I first got here it was great though, so hopefully I'll be able to post this before leaving Linucon. Geeks. Scifi geeks. Anime geeks. Linux geeks. Science geeks. Cute geek guys. Hot geek chyks. Not so cute and hot geek guys and chyks. The knowing looks and smiles from people you know are just as weird and…

Wow, we’ve just been really busy lately! The new job at one week in is actually pretty dang cool. The brain is actually being used, and it’s even kinda fun. Did I mention it’s not tech support? Monday night we went to a book signing at Bookpeople – Neal Stephenson. He’s such a fascinating person! Next up on my book list, once I get through the current stack, is going to be his Baroque Cycle. This weekend (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) is Linucon!! We’ve plotted out the panel/seminar thingies we’re going to, and I really can’t wait. It should be…
… of this thing called “work”. I’m woefully behind on my LJ reading, dammit!! Funny thing is, I can LJ at work, I just didn’t have the time. As it was my first day, this may not bode well at all… :::snicker::: It was pretty good though. Could be interesting at least. And it isn’t tech support. That in itself is a Good Thing ™.
OK, so it seems I have a job now. At least for a couple of months, anyway. It's a temporary QA intern job – I start tomorrow. Hope it works out ok!
Keep an eye on St. Helens! (live web cam) I’ve got a soft spot for the old girl. She was beautiful before she lost her top, and she provided quite a bit of excitement when I was a kid. (A June eruption, viewed from our roof)
Ok, so I've been using a bookmark system called Furl, which apparently was just purchased by LookSmart. Well, I don't know what that'll mean, so I went ahead and checked out del.icio.us. Both let you categorize, both have rss feeds, both seem pretty cool. Furl stores the article itself as well, so links won't completely disappear. Because of that, I think I'm going to use both for a bit, and see how it goes. So here's my link blogs: http://del.icio.us/jenbooks and http://www.furl.net/members/jenmyers1 Also – I've got 5 gmail invites. You might as well give in. <grin> (Edit – almost forgot:…
My right hand and wrist have been hurting very badly since Sunday. Gripping anything is painful; opening jars is impossible. I've been wearing a hand/wrist brace for most of yesterday and all day today – it seems to help some. I really, really hope it's just a flare up caused by poor mouse habits. If this was caused by shooting on Saturday I think I'll cry.
