Underachievement Unlocked

My life: a lot of potential and very little realization.

Very few posts on this blog, as well. But you might find some entertaining stuff if you go back a few years in the archives.

Back home at 10:30pm, exhausted after two days waking up at noon plus six hours of train travel in two days, but I don’t want to stay home and do nothing tonight.

Twitter is killing this blog.

Je n’ai pas envie de passer une journée à chercher, ça me suffit de savoir qu’ils n’en ont pas à Monoprix ; est-ce que quelqu’un dans l’assistance a déjà croisé une gomme magique Mr Propre dans un magasin des alentours du troisième arrondissement ?

This probably won’t last very long, but right now I’m using Twitterific, and the Twitter feed isn’t copied into my all-in-one feed (because that would require some work on my part), so I’m going to link it here in case someone is interested, so that I don’t use it for nothing: microblogging inanity.

It’s kinda weird and annoying to get ads in French in the middle of my English-language game. And a futuristic game at that, of course.

If my photolog posts keep popping up in your RSS aggregator, be advised that I’m aware of it and I intend to fix it… whenever I find out what the hell is going on.

This is… Friday?! What the hell happened to my week?

Heh, look at what happened yesterday while I was catching up with Battlestar Galactica:

News flash: toilet macerators get clogged, too. And then the plumber leaves a trash bag filled with its contents when he’s done with it.

Bits and scraps. (I need to keep access to the iMac’s keyboard although I use Teleport to control it from the MacBook because clicking with the tablet — which is directly connected to the iMac — while pressing a modifier key on the MacBook doesn’t register. Which is a bit annoying in Photoshop.)

Oh, the stain that’s forming left of the trackpad starts to show on photograph. The weird thing is, it’s reddish/pinkish. As if the MacBook were absorbing my blood through my pores.

I don’t get how they could not figure from the start that the second kind of cap would be more convenient. Somehow it seems to happen almost every time a company launches a bathroom product: they start with a screw-on cap and realize down the road that it’s not the most usable — how often do they have to reinvent the wheel?

Too syrupy. Give me my Diet Sprite back!

After:

Inspired by Tumblr (if I’m not going to post much, I might as well make this blog a big-type tumblelog), but the result isn’t as pretty as the Photoshop mockup. (And there’s still a couple adjustments to be made, but that will have to wait.)

P.S. Oh, I’ve also changed the RSS feeds; you can unsubscribe from the minilog feed as both feeds have the same contents now. (Not that I need to mention it, considering that pretty much nobody had subscribed to it anyway.)
