So, when talking to
drwex, he didn't get an invitation I sent him via gmail/calendar, and he coined the term 'gfail-" or at least re-created it if it was already out there.
Then I discover that my Remember the Milk reminders haven't been sending. Of course I have become dependent on their prodding, yet I didn't notice for 2 days that I'd not gotten them. To be fair, Wed and Thurs weren't very computer-centric days.
Also Pandora isn't playing in Mozilla anymore. It'll go in IE. I have version 3 of Firefox, so I've come to accept that there are bugs. The thing is, it worked last week! I upgraded to 3 the week it came out, so... I have no frickin' clue what's up with that.
ETA: updating my adobe flash player seems to have fixed that. Go me!
In Facebook sorts of news, I reconnected with someone I first met in kindergarten. Talking to Grant spurred me to create an alum group for our elementary school- this is the school that was taken out of commission and the original building and surrounding property is being condo-ized. Since the schoolyard is across the street from my parents' house, I've had a front row seat to the changes whenever I go back. It sucks that it had to be, but it really could be worse. Anyway--- I counted up that I had about 7 people on Facebook that date back to grade school. The trend is that I find one or two folk from school every month or so; I expect that 7 will grow over time. And who knows- I might get unassociated folks joining up. The school was the oldest in the district, so that's a few generations. Yep, I'm a connector.
