私は。。。だれ？

Today they rolled out the new public computer software thingummy. It doesn't involve many changes on the front end, although there is one MAJOR one where people have to go to the printer to release the job now instead of it being automatically released. There's another smaller one where you get a dollar of credit and it looks like it's part of the funds you have on the card. We had one approaching-irate member get very upset that she didn't get her 10 free pages because it showed $1.65 when she logged on and now it's just $.65, but that was just because the 10 free are now just a dollar added to the account. It was easier to just add the dollar to her account. The back end of the software involves significant changes, some good and some less than ideal. It's going to be a learning curve.

The cat update is that Algazel is doing much better. In exchange, Episcopus is sulking about how she has to eat the boring old food instead of the presumably tastier new food. I confirmed that this was indeed not a medical issue with HER but sulking by putting down tuna for them and she was all over that nonsense. So her appetite isn't off; she's just grumpy and hunger striking about the food that has been perfectly acceptable for all 6.5 years of her life. Our cats are so absurdly dumb, I can't even...

Also, I need to go through my icons and replace some of my old lj ones with ones that are more relevant to me now ~20 years later >_>

I can't believe that I forgot to use my new kitten Algazel icon for the big update on him. I've edited it, but it's just not the same, alas.

I've let this place languish again, apparently. I should probably try to figure out how to use this space as compared to how I use pillowfort.

I've spent today mostly cross-stitching Thing 1's Christmas ornament and trying to track down the 5e spellbook app my wife uses, which I was thankfully able to get and install despite it no longer being in the app store. I really need to find my glasses because blackwork on linen is tricky without them.

[ETA: I found my glasses when I went for naproxen. I absolutely forgot them on the bed last night.]

Pillowfort is back up and running! That said, I'll probably usually keep cross-posting between here and there because I like the feel of this place, even if there's almost nobody actually here that I can find.

So it seems LJ is running a script in the background whenever you click on an outbound link. There's more details here, along with how to turn it off.

This amused me greatly. David Tennant and Catherine Tate awesomeness.

Galileo was not on trial for science? WHO KNEW?!?

Actually, it pleases me that such a book might get popular attention as it may save many migraines of dealing with wannabe intellectual atheists who rail against religion (i.e., Christianity) and pull out examples such as Galileo to show how the Church is anti-science, etc.

That said, the first comment I saw read as follows: ".....yes right!...and the Inquisition didn't really happen...it was all a myth...."

I'm probably being overly optimistic.

So I have today been shown proof that if you can imagine it, it automatically exists somewhere on the internet. What proof you say? I present you with Elizabeth Bennet/Captain Jack Harkness fanfiction.

Oh, and while I'm at it, Doctor Who and the Golden Compass.

This looks like it could be a lot of fun. It appeals to my love of Pride and Prejudice, as well as my love of absurdity. I think I will have to look it up when it comes out.
