Some Random Thoughts Tonight
Oct. 15th, 2014 10:56 pm- It was easier to figure out where to market written work back when I actually had contact with people in the local publishing concerns. Granted I was writing for smallish circulation magazines under various pseudonyms and sometimes with no byline at all but atleast I was getting words in print out there in the world. I miss those days.
- There's very little on television I find interesting enough to watch on television this season. I'm really thinking it's time to finally drop the dish. Lending further impetus to that I recently received a postcard from my dish provider informing that they'll be phasing out my receiver early next year and I need to acquire new equipment from them. My current receiver/dvr unit is the same one I got when the dish was installed in the summer of 2004. It's wonder the thing still functions at all now that I think about it.
- I still prefer LiveJournal and Twitter to Facebook. One day I need to sit down and figure out what it is about Facebook that gives me such a case of the willies.
- I've been thinking about replacing the home server machine with a Raspberry Pi.
- Recently I've noticed an increased freuqnecy in incidents of clonus. Had one earlier this evening and didn't notice until the tremors got really bad. The affected leg still feels rather sore as I write this.
- While Guardians of the Galaxy was a fun movie I really would like to see more space opera epics. Seems like we haven't had a really noteworthy one in far too many years.
- Speaking of space opera. Does anyone have any recommendations for space opera that isn't heavily on the mil-SF side of the spectrum? If never I read another four pages of gushing adoration for chemically propelled projectile weapons it'll be too soon. Are 20th century slugthrowers really the apex of handheld ranged weapons for the next fifty centuries?
