    No words written yesterday, plus other bad things I do not wish to speak of. I did get Skype working in Ubuntu though! The trick is remembering that someone has encountered my problem before and finding their solution.
    Today I made a bit of progress on schooling related items. As well as some library related homework, I also started up a wiki for the electromagnetism unit I am taking at university. The idea is that if I attempt to organise and explain the information we are being taught so that (hypothetical) others can understand it, I will have a better chance of passing the course and graduating and lording it over the rest of you. Possibly with an iron fist.
    A while (weeks) ago whimsical_esper and I were talking and we both agreed a wiki would make a useful medium for collecting and organising story notes. I don't intend to use this one for that purpose because it is too public (but talking with whimsical_esper today has showed me it is still possible to use mediawiki so this can be considered practise) but I may expand it to include other material too*. We shall see.

P.S. Click here for Wiki-Make-Go. Try not to vandalise too much or I will have to lock you out, kay?

*other material may include further self-education efforts, notes of various kinds perhaps on things read and possibly acts of fiction I have committed**.

**This is the kind of information sensible people do not mention unless and until it actually happens, because they are sensible.

One thing I love about gmail is the way the spam folder always triggers ads for cooking with spam. Perhaps I should start mining those 'Froms' for character names and let them finally be of some use.

Sometime after posting I realised why the antispyware programs were not working and that the problem may have already been fixed, as in fact it had been. Related, I have yWriter working now and am having sorta fun playing with it and transferring Sparkle over, pretending each story is a chapter. No verdict on it yet, too soon.

Also while playing around with all this (and working out Firefox 2.0) I realised the story as it stand is stupid because I have people behaving unrealistically. Ah well. Maybe some thought will solve that problem or maybe I will just scrap that section. We shall see.

The next, this page comes up for no apparent reason. Bizarre. The last time I visited it was years and computers ago, no idea how it appeared. I did not even know it still existed. Still... may come in handy.
