MOTD
OK, so I still have to get used to putting a new MOTD in the queue, so by the time I realized that I'd forgotten, a few hours had already passed.
There is nothing earth-shattering to report. We keep on making little adjustments to the site (such as
the RSS feed), checking on old articles to make sure everything works (and boy, is that a Herculean job!).
Had beefy noodles for dinner (Vietnamese dish
Bun Bo Nuong), watched "Entourage" (good episode), did a bit of crafting in CrimeCraft (damn gang members are catching up with me) and then back to work. Luckily, we seem to have sturdy walls so I can keep the music blaring throughout the night to keep me awake ... sort of. :)
