May was entirely too little work.
Now, I went from a 20% workload, mostly private stuff, to 120%. After Aplakonen, it'll be only 100%. |

| Aplakonen, and Hulda's smart |
[May. 4th, 2009|04:17 pm] |
I'm probably a bad person for not mentioning this before here, but the planning for Aplakonen continues. The last few days brought several fans being interested, and I hope we can get a few more to attend. Beer, whiskies and relaxing will be the high points, with smoffing thrown in. The really nice part is that our GoH – Glenn Petersen – gets married just a few days before, and what better way to start on a honeymoon than as the GoH at a nice con?
I had been having some serious doubts earlier, but after Alcocon in Gothenburg I decided the only real way forward was, well, forward.
Hulda's growing smarter every day. When we came home from daycare she noted a small white leaf lying on the ground outside our door. She picked it up, examined it, and pronounced it must have blown here from somewhere. Then she looked around, and noted a tree with white leaves about ten meters away (I think it's a cherry, but I'm not sure), and said it must have blown from there.
Job-wise has been all right March and April, but the big job I expected during May was delayed to June (at least I got some prior warning, and was expecting some delays anyway). I've got a job lined up, but it's very long-term and not that well-paying. |

The idea that broke ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) thette's brain |
[Apr. 16th, 2009|08:50 pm] |
During our increasingly strange conversation during supper, I got the fanfic idea that broke thette's brain: a Chalion fanfic, in Gorean style.
I'm thinking I'll have to scrub my own brain too. |

| Hooray, hooray, it's April tenth |

outdoor swimming begins today!
Yep, when my father and Hulda went to the nearby lake earlier today, Hulda wasn't satisfied with standing ten seconds barefoot in the water – she got naked and run around. |

Success! My first localisation project as a freelancer is now available on iTunes app store: Diceshaker (it's free, for all cheapskates out there). |

Do you think you have managed to crash your car spectacularly? What about through the church roof? |

Money, sweet money!
About bloody time, too. And I still owe the bank some money, but there should be some more money coming in during the week, anyway. |

Things I never thought I would do that I did today:
Wrote the first draft for the script to a commercial.
I'll have to make sure I get copies of the finished product. |

| Searching for botmommy |
[Jan. 14th, 2009|12:31 pm] |
Anyone having any contact info to get in touch with our dear botmommy, Erica Sadun? Finding her web page is easy, but I'd prefer using e-mail rather than public comments.

| Advantages to small-town life |
[Jan. 10th, 2009|01:38 pm] |
Day before yesterday (ie Thursday) we visited the nearby appliance store just before closing time, to buy a new washing machine and dryer (the ones in the house when we bought it were quite old and tired - especially the dryer was ancient). They had a nice sale on decent Whirlpool machines, and we enquired into delivery, installation and handling of the old machines.
The guy in the store said, almost apologetically, that he had to make the delivery Friday mid-morning, otherwise we had to wait until Monday. In Stockholm, we had to wait over a week for delivery. |

Especially that which doesn't have an option for including the name of the document when you print said document. |

| Return of the timmybot |

Seen in the comments in a recent Ars technica post:
blackfrog:
bob, darling, perhaps Erica could build an Apple analytical robot, be parsing and negating statements made by Hesseldahl ... (!)
It's the return of the timmybot, by our own Auntie Erica. |

Fick en märkligt ögonblick idag när jag skulle ringa upp Olof på Tanto: tjejen som svarade hette Anna och svarade ganska likt Anna Goméz. Jag fick ett väldigt konstigt ögonblick där innan hjärnan slutgiltigt kopplade att det var en annan Anna.
Jag har även översatt så mycket idag att ena pekfingret börjat få ett skärsår från nageln. Inte lika häftigt som Scalzi's youghurt, men ändå... |
