Sleep Diary

Start: 10-ish
End: well, woke up at 2-ish, and I don't know when I slept again, and was kinda disturbed. Finally woke up about 6:15, tried to sleep some more, gave up
Mask: some water, and it was fairly condensy, but no actual dripping
Nose: one nostril blocked
Mouth: thirst
Feel: tired, groggy, wish I was asleep. Also hungry.

Master of Tech

I have conquered! Well, sort of. I may have mentioned that I couldn't play my Pretender DVDs on my main computer, though I could play them on my laptop. So I thought I'd see what I could do about it. Turns out that all I needed to do was to install VLC, and it all worked! I hadn't realized that VLC was still better than xine in that department. Downside: screencapping is not as easy as with xine. You can't just click a button. You have to
(a) start up VLC with special options
(b) pause when you want a screencap (and the pause isn't as good as with xine)
(c) run an external image-capture program to capture the contents of the window in question.

But I did do a few little screencaps once I'd figured out how to do it. And I made an icon.

Fanfic Year In Review

Snurched and mutated from izhilzha; my fanfic year in review. ( stories, questions, and answers )

And now I really must retreat to my bedroom, the study is now too warm.

Cor Blimey!

I just checked the weather forecast. They say it is going to be a minimum of 27! That's 80.6F. Minimum. Overnight.

Thank God my air-con was installed. I can see it's going to be going full blast all night...
