Locating a novel, short story, or poem without knowing its title or author can be very difficult. This guide is intended to help readers identify a literary work when they know only its plot or subject, or other textual information such as a character’s n
What does not satisfy when we find it…
…was not the thing we were desiring.
One of the most fun things I have done lately is setup the tablet functions on my TC1100, (aka Hal the tablet-y boy).
Having had fun pulling various bits of howtos and other information together, with most of the information from a couple of great entries in the Ubuntu Forums (the TC1100 howto, and the Pen Functions Howto), I thought I might put it all together for my critically unacclaimed (K)Ubuntu 8.04 HP TC1100 Tablet Functions Howto.
Of course, this is led to more blog housekeeping.
Oh, and thank you, Richard, for getting me into the whole tablet madness.*
Anyway, please to enjoy.
*See, I remembered;)

Wait, what? Google’s Android mobile OS is running on a handset designed with Symbian as the underlying mobile platform? Apparently, some enterprising Android fan has managed to get what seems to be Android up and running on their Nokia N95.

We’re confused, we’re too fat, and we’re too image-obsessed. We’ve got it all wrong, so I decided to look into what is going on in other regions of the world—from Tonga to Toulouse, France. There are some inspirational examples, and some scary o

Microsoft’s Internet Explorer team has sent a fancy cake to Mozilla’s Mountain View headquarters to join the celebration of the Firefox 3 release. the cake is a lie, bwahaha, and good on them!!!

John McCain called his wife a C*NT. Seriously. It was recorded. The press just went, “oh wow, serious word”. And ignored it.
Of course, here on the Internet, we don’t roll that way….
We are not as hypocritical as the mainstream media. We do not think we should turn a blind eye to the failings of ‘family’ candidates, while bleating on as if Barrack Obama is a ‘Muslim’, and other falsehoods.
Personally, I think they are sickening parasites now.
Walter Cronkite’s legacy is gone.
Anyway, here is a fun look at the whole thing. Naturally, language NSFW.

n this guide, you’ll find out how to spend an arm and a leg…err…..about $55,000 on sustainable improvements which will save you about $18,000 over 5 years (and should recoup the full cost over the lifespan of each improvement). I wish!!!
Life is just…
…a chance to grow a soul.
I have a vested interest in this story about the cost of sick and premature babies.
My youngest child, my small lad, that sweet little zoomy guy, turns five on the 27th. He was a very sick little man when born, a difficult, life saving caesarian, frightening for us both, had to struggle with life and death stuff.
For my sweet lad died at birth. I was pretty ill, so did not realise till after, when they said he was ill but would pull through, just how close I came to not having my tough boy. But tough he is, and with the amazing, magic staff at Flinders NICU, he made it. Two weeks of antibiotics, and one on one care, and he never looked back.
Here is an article discussing the cost of some of the frailer babies we saw in NICU. My close to 6 pound lad looked like a monster baby among them.
Which of them wasn’t worth trying to save?
And again, always, daily thank you to NICU staff, for saving my son, and my sanity. It was two weeks of fear, and huge dramas and I could not have made it without them, or my magic friends.
I enrolled him for school this week. The kindy has said but I already knew, he is very bright, articulate, warm, loving, funny, and clever.
Sick lad has come a long way, baby:)
