This Week at the One Desk
Yeah, so, I made a pact with Lucifer and downloaded—and installed!—IE7. I've steadfastly stuck with IE6 all this time because I'd heard such awful things about 7, and besides, I use Firefox. Well, I did it. I usually am a year or so behind changes like that, being a very untrusting soul when it comes to Microsqueeze products.

Sadly, my machine still suffers mysteriously from not loading the explorer shell on startup. I have to manually initiate the task, and it does actually look right in the registry, so I have no idea what's wrong. Well, aside from having installed RCT3 and infected myself with SecuROM. Rrrr. Stupid instructions I have for removal don't cover this incarnation, so I'm not sure how to get rid of it. Yet.

Did a nice thing the other day. I know, shocking, seeing as how I'm an anti-social, sadistic bitch. Have some tea or a drink—you'll recover soon enough.

Started editing Forsaken. Again. But this time I'm replacing the chapter copies at the Pit of Despair.

Glanced at my ideas file, added another bunch of notes for various stories which might see the light of day sometime this century. Had an argument with myself over Breakpoint. Par, basically.

Got through all the exercises in Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis, but not all the missions. Dunno why Site B is such a big deal, but whatever. I'll get to it eventually. Was rather peeved when I got fined for a velociraptor eating a tourist and never even got to see it happen! Rrrr. Think it's pretty stupid you have to be cheaty to get a safari tour to go through multiple enclosures. I mean really, couldn't they have added in a gate of some kind? I also think it sucks you can't import a greyscale image for island construction rather than dealing with those lousy terrain editing tools.
