Upgrade

Jessica — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 23:39:53 +0000

Updated the blog to WordPress 2.7. Nice features, like widgetized sidebar (not that that was built in to this ancient theme we use, but it was easy enough to modify it to enable widgets) and dashboard ui improvements. I don't know if the site works any better for you, the reader, but then again I'm …

Drives me crazy

Jessica — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 01:08:12 +0000

I have eczema. It itches like mad right now. I am fighting with every ounce of self control I possess not to be furiously scratching at the backs of my hands. This sucks. Last night I woke myself up scratching my hand. Did I mention that eczema is extremely attractive? No? That's because it's not. …

Now that's just mean ("jason castro sucks")

Jessica — Fri, 02 May 2008 15:33:03 +0000

Someone got here with the query "jason castro sucks" the other day. Now, I have a couple of questions. First of all, why use a search engine other than Google? You'll find much more relevant results about how much Jason Castro sucks using Google. I actually kind of root for him, in a weird way, …

Microsoft Word is not a good tool

Jessica — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 15:35:34 +0000

...but it's a better tool than most people are capable of effectively using, apparently. I bet if I asked anyone in an administrative (aka "secretarial") position what his or, more likely, her proficiency level in Word was, he or she would doubtless say "expert." This despite the fact that I have just about never seen …

Post Mortem

Jessica — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 03:19:33 +0000

It seems like I ought to write about Christmas, or someone should, and at the moment I'm doing it. The question, though, is what one ought to write--I could write about what I got, which is boring enough to anyone but me (although I highly recommend the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf fat-free no-sugar-added powder, …

Something that annoyed me, and how to fix it

Jessica — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 05:12:18 +0000

So, a few days ago I noticed this new, irksome thing was happening--when I typed an incomplete address into the address bar of my Mac's browsers (e.g. typing bedbathandbeyond rather than www.bedbathandbeyond.com), instead of just going to the site, I would get to some weirdo Verizon search page. Grr. Annoying. The Windows machines on my …

I want to want you, iPhone

Jessica — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 17:15:20 +0000

As everyone probably has been unable to avoid knowing, the iPhone launches this Friday. Normally, new Apple releases cause me to sit on my hands to avoid throwing money at Steve Jobs' head, but this one--eh. It's certainly spiffy, in some ways, and the data plan is $10 cheaper than one I pay now for …

How can it taste so bad?

Jessica — Thu, 09 Nov 2006 17:10:41 +0000

I have a new car, about which I will post later, when I have some pictures (taken with the world's crappiest digital camera, as we have yet to replace the cameras that were stolen). So. Slimfast from a can. Dear God, it can be horrible. How can they call this flavor chocolate? How does adding …
