Personal organizational deadlock
Minor complaints
and How I'm doing today

My body did not cooperate with my plan to attend 3LF rehearsal last night -- I crashed instead. Hoping I make it to HCB rehearsal tonight. Poor attention span and sense-of-time today, so I'm not getting much done (also distracted -- got some heavy stuff on my mind that I need to find a way to set aside for a while and/or get some perspective on).

Now boygeorge (my WinNT box) is thrashing every time I try to do anything on it -- like scroll an already-open browser window -- so I need to wrap things up to a saveable state and reboot it, but I've got sooooo bloody much open (one Telnet and one browser, but lots of open windows in the browser, and Opera only usually restores all of its state when I do a "save windows" and quit), so it's taking me a while to get to that point. It'll probably get rebooted tomorrow. Meantime, I'm reading mail on rupaul (my Win95 machine). (Actually, I'm reading mail on tipton, one of my Linux machines, but I'm doing so via a telnet from rupaul. I keep all the UNIX/Linux machines downstairs 'cause they don't much care whether I'm actually sitting in front of them or not when I use them.)

I should go set up the Mac I was given at Balticon. But I want to put it in the office, so I need to rearrange some other hardware and piles of stuff first. Or I can put it in the bedroom, where the currently-broken Mac is, even though the assortment of input devices make it more suitable for the office workstation.

Hmm. Not sure whether I should give the new Mac the same name as the old Mac (carlos), or pull another name off the list-of-possible-machine-names I've got, 'cause I'm still hoping to get carlos working again eventually.
