Bits and Bobs

Well, this is a fine turn of events. Facebook has gone wonky/unstable for me right in the midst of an IM chat, and even re-booting my computer didn't fix the problem. Poof.I feel weirdly cut off, helpless, and bereft, since unlike a disrupted telephone conversation, it isn't as though I can call back, since it's effectively as if my phone disappeared. I have an uneasy suspicion that I may have gotten a little too hooked on Facebook. Blergh. Addiction is ugly.

In fact, I've already hit the bargaining phase: if I promise to stop making backbiting comments about The Little Queen of Everything for a while, can I have my instant connection to all my online, imaginary playmates back, please?

In other exciting news, there's no cereal left, and yogurt and an apple does not sound like a Saturday breakfast to me, so apparently I must either cook, or go shopping. Oh, the dilemmas of my life. Pancakes, or scones, or a trip to Trader Joe's?

Today is bidding fair to being cool and gray. I might wear socks. Socks, people! I can't remember the last time I wore socks.

You have my sympathies: the new Facebook app under iOS 8 is busy redefining the meaning of unstable. And they want me to use ANOTHER of their apps for messages? Yeah, Facebook, go sit and spin.

Well, as we already knew, FB is just evil, and when combined iOS anything, Totally Ultra Mega Evil. Or so I think. The problem is, it's the evil that all our friends are on...

Time to quote PNH again: 'The distinction I wound up making in a conversation the other day was this: Google sometimes fails to live up to its famous admonition "Don't Be Evil." Facebook has a large sign up over the employee entrance reading "Have You Met Your Evil Quota Today?"'

Very true. BTW, it turns out Potlatch does not have a current e-mail address for you. If you'd like to get progress reports from them, I can pass one on if you update me.
