Techthusiasm with unfortunate results
Yesterday I had a sudden burst of interest in technowhatsits.  I got Greasemonkey on my Firefox and then got a whole bunch of those userscripts that a couple of people reblogged a week or two ago, like the one that wraps tags on the dashboard, the one that lets you bookmark posts on the dashboard, the one that links from a post on its own page to the post on the dashboard so you can reply to it,...

Blast!  I feel inspired to write the next ‘Attractions’ post but also I have a rehearsal in the morning.  Well, never mind, the inspiration will probably return some other day.  In the mean time, one more quick post and it’s good night from me.

My textbook just said Cairo was a Middle Eastern...
dinokitten: … Isn’t Egypt in Africa? Ugh, the whole concept of ‘the middle east’ is a bit messed up.  It doesn’t make the slightest bit of geographical sense.  As I understand it, the ‘middle east’ is what Anglophones used to call central Asia, going maybe as far west as Persia / Iran, while the ‘near east’ was the term for the Arabian peninsula,...

Oh, Things.  I really, honestly did intend to do you today.  When I said so last night, I really did mean it.  Please believe me when I say you are very worthwhile and important to me.  All of you.

Below the cut is the transcript of the third part of that video meme thing. (A black screen with the words ‘part three’.  It fades to bespectacled me, otherwise dressed as in part two, and indeed part one, in mid-salute — having as you will recall, just been asked by polo-necked me what I call the spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs, and having given a...

The novelty has worn off, and yet the publication of part one and part two of this meme necessitates the dissemination of this, the third and final part, whereof a transcript is available (but by no means obligatory). I was actually a little surprised by the difference in character between me and me.  I didn’t do it consciously.  Probably something to do with the interviewer / interviewee...

I feel like I don’t give you enough music.  That’s mostly because of the format thing: I can’t just think ‘Ooo I’ll post this song’ and then do it, I have to go to the stairs where the CDs live and get the CD and import the song to Audacity to convert it to mp3 blah blah.  Anyway, going to try to do a bit more music.

Oh yeah, there’s an actual strike-through button in the post editor.  So I really didn’t need to go into the html and add a <s> tag. Also apparently the <s> tag doesn’t have an effect on the dashboard versions of posts (though it does if you click through to the post itself), but the <strike> tag, which is what Tumblr adds if you use the buttom, does. Good to...

Okay, so I tried uploading part two of the video and it crashed. So then I tried uploading it again and it said I couldn’t because it was still processing the first one and you can’t upload more than one video a day. So then I deleted the first not-working-properly one and tried to upload it again and it said I couldn’t because it was still processing the first one. And now it...

So a while ago everyone (meaning, in this instance, Garland, Alex, Satah, Kiri, and Laura) did this meme thing (see Garland’s one for the instructions), and I thought I’d do it too, but then I thought about it too much and had ideas and it became a ridiculously lengthy and self-indulgent thing that required editing and stuff, and that took ages, and I was away from home for a...

Some possibilities
It is quite possible that I spent a large portion of today in the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland wearing this t-shirt (albeit underneath a shirt and jumper): (Image is a photograph of a white long-sleeved t-shirt with typewriter-style text on the chest, in black except for the last word which is in red.  The text reads ‘Hornet’s Nest of...

]]>lwilldo liked your post: Transcript for meme video thing Ah, I’m glad someone is managing to enjoy some aspect of this trainwreck.  :) (Oh look, also Tumblr has decided that I am now only allowed to write in italics, no matter how many times I click the ‘italics’ button.) Sorry, folks, I am getting slightly annoyed and probably sounding it.  I’ll shut up now.

Oh good grief.  It posted the no-video-no-text post twice and I went back and added the text to one of them and tried to delete the other but I think I’ve just deleted the one I added the text to in stead of the other one. All the pants.

So basically what Tumblr’s done is to publish a video-with-text post only without the text or the video.  Grumble grumble. Shall attempt to fix now.

Transcript for meme video thing
Okay, so apparently you can’t have ‘read more’ cuts in video posts even if you cheat.  So here’s the transcript for this video. (Blackness.  The white text ‘part one’ looms into view.  Fade to a dimly-lit kitchen beyond a white internal door.  After a few seconds a blue shape comes into view from the left and turns out to be me sitting down.  I am wearing...

Oh look, Tumblr isn't working properly
Specifically, I tried to upload a video.  The green bar at the bottom got to full and then the screen went blank and the video hasn’t appeared.  I then tried to upload it again but it won’t let me because it thinks it’s still processing the last one. Le sigh.

Sometimes I wish I could write poetry, but I...
kiriamaya: Like, when I try to write with a particular meter or whatever, I find that the words are never what I want them to be. Like, if I find the words that fit the meter right, they won’t be the words that convey the exact nuances I want, and vice versa. And if I try free verse… well, I just don’t have a knack for making free verse sound poetic, so I end up writing prose instead. I guess...

There are no new posts. What. This weekend I may get round to doing one or two of the memes you were all doing a week and a half ago.  Whooo. But now I’m going to have a break.
