Good Lord, I had no idea what had been happening in NO the last couple of days. What a mess… I have no idea where Jimmy and his kitties are… Granted, he lives in Slidell and works in Metairie (I think that’s spelled right) but if distances in that area are anything like distances in Seattle, it means that he’s in as much trouble as anyone else.
Maybe he went inland to his aunt & uncle’s place with Ganache and Genoise.
In less fictional news, I think I’m going to go give the Red Cross some money, since that (and praying) is about all I can do…

Alice Hill’s Real Tech News – Independent Tech » Open Office 2.0 Kicks MS Office Around the Block
And actually, for me it’s not so much the review or the software that is of interest as it is this line from the review:
OpenOffice also supports all of the major features of MS Office (and a few of its own) except for the grammar check. I’m personally fine with not having a grammar checker since it has given me the opportunity to actually learn the English language instead of relying on my word processor to make my sentences coherent.
Whereas if he relied on the grammar checker, they probably _wouldn’t_ be. I’ll never forget looking at something I wrote (I think it was part of my Kelvath/Avrath thing) in MS Word and it wanted to change “I don’t like you” to “I doesn’t like you”… Which even my _cats_ know is wrong.
Okay, explain to me exactly how having bad heartburn/ARD/GERD prevents you from cooking? _Tasting_ your cooking, sure, or eating a lot of whatever you make, obviously, but -just- cooking? By itself?
Look, if you wanna be a Mormon, okay. I don’t care.
HOWEVER (and you knew there was a ‘however’, didn’t you?), don’t expect me to be so happy-cheery-tolerant when you come knocking on the door and leaning on the doorbell, waking me from the first sound sleep I’ve had in the last couple of day. Grr.
Google Talk is a new IM client… It’s in beta, but if it’s anything like the gmail beta, it’s probably pretty much functional out of the box. It does require a gmail address, though.
Speaking of which, I noticed that I now have 100 gmail invites. That’s _insane_ — I don’t know that many people! And besides, I don’t think I can actually get rid of them — I’ve noticed that when I’ve sent away my invites, the number has returned to whatever it was before I gave some away.
I’m not really complaining, just being kind of boggled.
“Hi… Yes, I’ve suffered death as a result of this perscription drug… Can I get in on the lawsuit? No? Awww…”
How much would it cost to have someone look over your copy to make sure that you’re not splitting any infinitives?
Okay, first I needed to tweak the registration thingummy. Unregistered squidlets should be able to register themselves, now, so’s they can comment. Woot.
Naptime!
And now all I have to do is tweak links and put up my cute little Flist icons and stuff….
But I think I’ll take a nap, first. I do love me some napping.
And not World Of Warcraft, either.
As you can see, I’ve just changed PWR over to WordPress… And all I had to do was move my WP files out of one directory to another.
I did have a moment of panic, though — I thought I was going to have to tinker with things under the hood after the move, because when I went to the Admin page, there were the links I was expecting, but there was no style, and following the links proved they were broken (kinda, since they pointed to a nonexistant directory)… But, it turns out that all I had to do was put in the address of the General Options page, fix the WP Directory URI, and that was IT. It was fixed.
Simply amazing.
