I know that when someone has the temerity to say "Gosh, I wish Emacs could do X", they're generally met instantaneously with howls of derision by a teeming horde of "Ask me about my Aspergers!"-shirt-wearing neckbeards who let them know:

• Anyone who would want to do such a thing is an idiot.
• Doing $INSANELY_COMPLICATED_ALTERNATIVE is much better as any idiot knows.

... it's a million times funnier when that person saying "Gosh, I wish..." is Richard M. Stallman.

I now own more original art.

http://sellingoutforfunandprofit.com is back up, meaning Michael Poe (of Errant Story and Exploitation Now!) & his SO finally got the "give us money for stuff!" solution working after quite some time.

Remote Desktop cannot verify identity because time/date difference between your/remote computer.

Remote Desktop cannot verify the identity of the remote computer because there is a time or date difference between your computer and the remote computer. Make sure your computer's clock is set to the correct time and then try connecting again. If the problem occurs again, contact your network administrator or the owner of the remote computer.

Workaround: Connect via IP address instead of name.

Madonna - Borderline

It occurs to me that the ability to quickly eat every grain of rice stuck to the bottom of a bento box is an effective shibboleth for proving you are Japanese.

TMBG - We want a rock

grump!

 

 

Time to break out the cold weather running gear.

 

On a side note this is the first time I've tried the android LJ client's "share link" functionality ....  it just pops a new entry with open close A HREF tags, and your cursor between them.  And then the first text you enter auto pops over to after the close tag.  So.... they never tested it.  Sounds about right.

 

Alex Belits , what's "LiveJournal [is Dying| deathwatch]" in Russian so I can tag these? :)
