Whee I’m married!
Candice and I are back from Paris and are still half-exhausted, so I’m not going to write a long post about the wedding and our trip right away. I’ll write those up in the next day or few. The short version: The wedding went without a hitch and everyone had a blast, and our honeymoon […]

HOLY SHIT
HOLY SHIT I’M MARRYING CANDICE TOMORROW. This is a good thing, in case that wasn’t clear. And it’s all a big to-do list from now until then, so you probably won’t hear much from me until we’re back from Paris! HOLY SHIT

Wikipedia contrail
This is my “Wikipedia contrail” — the list of pages in Wikipedia I’ve been to in the last week or two, according to my browser history.

Victory!
Yay, I have my big old 21″ CRT monitor back. The desktop guys weren’t that surprised; apparently I’m not the first to find the 1280×1024 worse than dealing with a grumpy CRT. So I think I’ll hold onto this guy until it just doesn’t work at all anymore, and then look into specifically requesting a […]
