I have created a blog for our foster cat, Sponge.

Something in the basement, probably the boiler, occasionally makes a distinct video game noise, a fwhum! noise. I think it's used in Super Mario Brothers or something, maybe for going down one of those tunnels. Really the exact noise from some classic game, Tim will back me up on this. The first few times I heard it I thought I must be confused as to where it was coming from, because there are no video games in the basement.

After a failed Windows 7 upgrade that got my system into an unrecoverable state, I thought, what the heck, and installed Ubuntu as the sole operating system on my computer. And, wow. It is, so far, in every way a superior operating system to Vista. Installation including burning a disk in under an hour. And everything just works. My wireless card, which wanted special drivers in Vista. My fancy audio preamp. The printer. The external hard drive. I'm up and running with no installing anything, no hours of futzing. Nothing breaks when it goes into sleep mode. I have never expected Linux to be superior to Windows for usability. But this one is. Bravo, Ubuntu. Worthy of a "switch" ad. We'll see if there are any frustrations down the road, but the basics are absolutely smooth.

I just opened a bank account and had to answer multiple choice questions about where I had lived and my parents' birthdays. And get them right. Creepy much? Ok, fine, I accept that there are services keeping dossiers on me that know more facts about my life than I do, but that's just rubbing it in.

Dreamt that I got a bee sting on my finger, and it hurt. Not used to feeling intense pain in dreams. Odd.

Eggcorn watch: "to segway onto an essentially unrelated topic" (found in the comments to this meta incendiary post that Liz linked to-- so possibly intentional, but still, a use for the segway, at last!)

The cat is blaming me for the Snow Problem. He's asking whether I've fixed it already every ten minutes or so.
