This entry is made while I'm in Pittsburgh, partially moved into my new place. No network, no landline, no cablemodem. I recently hooked into apknet to fetch my mail, but /bin/mail malfunctioned, and my mail from the last day (and a few hours) disappeared into the void. Whee! I hope they make nightly backups.

I feel so lessened without internet access. The internet, from a network of unix systems on a perminent connection, has a special feel to it for me. Feels like I'm swimming in information. But now I'm wading in mud, and just tripped on a submerged log. Still, I like my new place, and hope that the job will come through. Even with the meager setup I've done so far, it feels like home. I need to make a trip to Ikea or somewhere to get a nice, big futon once I know I have an income. I'll make this place so nice... It's just the right size for me, I think.

Oh, as for the topic, a few minutes ago, I was setting up the local network, and while untangling an ethernet cable, it swooped across my left eye. There's no pain like eye pain. I was completely incapacitated for about five minutes, and it still has a mild pain in it.

That's all for now, folks! I don't know when you'll be reading this anyway -- until I get some kind of a decent connection, or a job with a good, stable connection, this isn't going anywhere. Down I go to check on my laundry.. ahh.. that's such a great thing about this place... Once I get my pets here, I'll be content.
