:: Good day in Geekville ::

Whatever else is happening in the world, today was a good day in Geekland, a place I have the misfortune to inhabit sometimes.

First of all, we finally got DSL (from Speakeasy). Not only that, but it worked immediately with the wireless gear I bought months ago thinking I'd be able to use it soon. Ha ha. It wasn't soon at all, but it does work, and it's very nice.

Then a new version of BBEdit came out. It's a rather expensive upgrade, but the trial works for 24 launches or so (which can last a long time in Mac OS X), so I may have a while to stall before buying it.

I got some work done, too. All these things are good. In honor of all this nerdiness, I've tinkered with the site a little bit. Now there are RSS feeds available for this journal and Literary Conquests. This means you can finally (and I know you've been dying for this) read our regularly updating stuff in NetNewsWire and other lesser RSS aggregators. Considering this is the way I read almost all the news and web logs I read anymore, this is the way to go.

And of course (speaking of geekness), they both validate: journal, books.

Lisa's brother has been staying with us for the past couple of nights, which has been nice. Having an extra person in the house is always something to contend with when you're a night owl like me, but he's excellent company, so it's really a good thing.
