jayIt's been stormy here all day, with sheets of water and high winds at times. patgreene has been ill and in bed for most of the day, so I've been watching the kids and shopping online. Including for a new DSL provider -- telocity is going away in <90 days, according to today's newspaper. So we'll need yet another email transition in a month or so. Sigh. After reading online reviews, I signed up with DSLExtreme (despite the name *). But I'm tired of having to resubscribe to mailing lists and notifying friends -- I only just got around to updating the SFSI lists 2 weeks ago, so I could unsubscribe from AOL.
I need something more stable, more solid and predictable, address-wise. Carved in stone, as it were... so I'm registering my own domain name, lithic.net. I'll probably rename our machines (paleo, neo) and router (endo)... not a bad choice for a part-time geophysicist. Besides, "vitreous" was already taken...
Given Pat's condition, it is just as well that we had earlier bowed out of going to a party tonight, for complex reasons. I had had thoughts of going contra dancing, but am taking care of the kids instead. And there are rare flashes of lightning outside. Cool. I attempted to go shopping this afternoon, made no headway but had an entertaining 2-hour coffee withbrooksmoses instead :-).
