Feb. 22nd, 2021 05:49 pmI've run into trouble with a section of service my cable provider is offering. I'm a Linux user, specifically Linux Mint. My cable provider says that the service on offer is not compatible with Linux systems, and that I could try either Windows or Mac. I could understand better if this was 2004 or so, but Linux has surely been around long enough to be included in the list of OS's that'll work with a service. Maybe there's something inherently difficult about Linux, not sure.

Jan. 2nd, 2021 05:35 pmI've decided that this year, I'm going to be a Reader. I will read at whim, and sometimes just for the fun of it. So I went to the bookcase and tried out a book, entirely at whim, and just for fun.
This book is one I've tried to read for many years, and had to give up the project often. It isn't really a difficult book, in fact, the author often offers his POV using increasingly simple examples. I wonder what the issue is for me. I'm thinking I have a problem looking at the nearly unbroken walls of text. My eyes aren't really fixing on the lines as I read them, despite wearing spectacles.
But I'm determined, and will put up with re-reading parts after falling asleep. Forge ahead, Reader!

Aug. 16th, 2020 04:28 pmThere’s a writer I’m interested in, who finds people ask him all about the tools of his trade. What kinds of pens he uses, how about notebooks. Right down to the exact model. I wonder how many writers and artists get the same questions. Do their readers think that by emulating their heros, that they will have some greatness and luck rub off on them?

Dec. 20th, 2019 12:33 pmI was thinking of calling my oldest friend in the world. We shared a nap-time crib as our mothers drank coffee and smoked at each other. I'd ask him a question, "Was it hard to be my friend?"
I've never brought the subject up before. I'm not sure how he'd answer.

At the Library
