10/5/97 - Subcutaneous Feelings. Only have time for a minor update today, as it's late on Sunday. But I wanted to keep the content here regularly updated. At least I STILL update my site, and love doing so...it's not a very common thing these days to see a long-running web site. Okay, so I was hit by a minor bout of technophilia this weekend. ;) I admit it. I downloaded Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and... Well, let's just say it's one of those things that gadget lovers coo over. All the customizability, all the fresh opportunities for new way to dazzle viewers and crash their browsers while doing so! Lance has already talked about MSIE 4.0 at the 'Dog. He CRAVES that shit. I've never been as interested in the latest features that never go anywhere as he is. ;) But hey, I can say that I knew more than what he proferred in his latest experience. So I installed it late last night, expecting a Sunday of headaches. Well get this -- no weirdities at all. If only the Hardian Tess were this lucky. The only problems I'm having are memory-related, and that's just slowdowns in general use. Nothing major. So I've spent a few hours making sure the settings are set exactly how I like them (for I pay attention to stupid details) and making sure everything on my computer was disgustingly clean. And then I got some experience encoding RealAudio files, which took up some more time. "Oh shit!" the narrator exclaims as he looks at the time and then whips out his short assignment on combined indirect discourse, dependent clauses, and future more vivid...in Latin. He stays cool and sweats not a bead, then efficiently finishes the task, to continue working on his happily content computer. "It is when I struggle to be brief that I become obscure." -Horace Don't worry, sweetie...I've worked plenty on the Latin. I hope we'll have some time to talk this week. It's 2AM here and I have class at 10AM. Got most of what I needed to do this weekend out of the way, except for the Soapbox. Oh well, I already have it planned. So that's my boring diary entry of the year. Don't worry -- I'm not starting a habit... That would contradict everything I am! . . . c o m |-. ,-. ,-. |- . . ,-. ,-. ,-. ,-. | | |-' | | | | | | | | |-' | `-' `-' ' ' `' `-' ' ' ' `-' '
