Tonight, I made another livejournal account for the isa/mustard project, dropping the cash to make it paid and configuring POUND for an account too. I hope that I have the dedication to actually keep it going. I've been thinking about it for some time, and it seems worthwhile to give it a try - if I cannot, then I should probably give up on ever writing something larger. It's very easy to have ideas, but without commitment, these are useless.

Tonight after dinner, I had a series of sharp pains in my chest and had a bit of trouble breathing. I hope that this was either because of overeating or because of my suddenly stepping out into the cold. I don't think I'd object terribly if now turns out to be my time to end, but all things considered I'd rather not suddenly have a heart attack or have my lungs give out for awhile :)

• Awesomeness: My hair has finally reached the length that its weight pulls it straight(ish). I like the look that I can achieve with this.
• Not-so-awesomeness: My attempt at making iced tea fails. I think I may need to let the tea steep longer for tea that is destined for chilling
• Oddness: Wondering how some people get access to some information they pass on to me. People who help information flow freely are not sufficiently rare that a lot of popular stuff is inaccessible, despite lawyers and others who believe in IP doing their best to stop that kind of thing. For some types of information, I'm still surprised that any such people get their hands on it to pass it on - information that in theory should only flow between maybe ten people, or that which is meant to stay within highly secured systems under the eye of clued sysadmins, .. my only guess is that some people are information packrats and get sentimental about data. Bravo for them.
