Notes

Yeah, I know. But getting used to the full-time job has been really rough this time around. IDK.

The BARCC Blogathon auctions are running through 2010-08-03, 17:00 Eastern.

Recently

Work was fun today. In that special way where my eyes aren't used to contacts yet and I spent the whole day using a computer, and also in the way where one of the door alarms was going off pretty much all day because it was broken.

I was supposed to go to a concert tonight, but I just could not manage it. :( I napped instead. After I write this post, I'm going to go back to bed.

Signs I am tired: I am trying to read my dreamroll using ?ship=300. /o\

Retail Therapy

I ordered some stuff from Fire Mountain Gems over the weekend, and it shipped today. \o/ So that'll be here next Monday, approximately. Unfortunately, I can't bring my travel jewelry kit to Grand Forks. I don't think the TSA would approve of my pliers. :( :( :( Plus I am only bringing a carry-on. DNW to pay stupid fee for checked bag.

I'd like to make a list of things that need some design work: things that could be improved, workflow-wise or visually, for better usability or accessibility.
firstpersonporn: Kink Bingo challenge
Here’s a new challenge for firstpersonporn. We love kink_bingo and, seeing so many great kink stories in our earlier story post, we thought it might be fun to set up a post where we can play Kink Bingo with real-life stories. The Kink Bingo mods kindly made us a card for us, and we’re using it as the starting point for a series of prompts.

The story is ... well, okay, it bills itself as historical fiction, which is right, because historically, there's not a whole lot we know about Hypatia of Alexandria. That she existed, that she was a widely respected astronomer and philosopher, widely respected among her male peers at a time when women just Didn't Do That In Public. That there are a couple of legends about her which persist. That she was killed in inter-religious violence in the city, arguably. But that none of her work survived. We know that the prefect of Alexandria (Orestes) publically respected her wisdom.
