Busy with a B

It is ITEMISED LIST TIME, folks.

ficpdfs may be named drily, but it is tarted up all in green, and possesses a short blurb in its info. Soon to come: the brief first post and the first FAQ. Oh, and eventually my first attempt at conversion, which will be posted here, then (probably) tweaked based on any suggestions I get, then posted at ficpdfs. That won’t be the process for all the fics I convert, only for the first one.
The Kindle I ordered shipped yesterday!! I will probably be giggling over that until it gets here g.
Discs 2 and 3 of season 4 of The Wire have come in. I am SO LOVING IT still.
I have had Travails with Textmate while testing its html —> markdown. There might eventually be a post on the whole process of converting fics to pdfs with or without a powerful, sexy but troubled text editor on your side. Or at least on preparing fics for sane, easy conversion with whatever resources you have.
I think I want to learn applescript. Knowing a bit about bash and python scripting saved me hours of confusion when I was trying to get things set up, and I think learning how to applescript programs into doing my bidding would be a Good Thing.
I got an invite to Pownce yesterday. Then I signed up— jesus their signup process is intrusive! Real name, birthday and zip code? You know I faked some of that. I can’t believe they think anyone would trust them with important info just for access to some weird mashup of Twitter and Yousendit. I haven’t used it for anything yet, and if anyone wants invites, I’ve got six, so…*shrugs*
Have changed layout! I love this incarnation of Bloggish to death :D

	Bash? Tee hee! Yeah. A friend invited me to Pownce a while back -- I signed up with fake info, and haven't used it since. Not sure I still have my login or password, either. Part of the problem is that it was just the one friend there -- social networks only work if there are people there.... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Another part of the problem is that if there aren't any people there, and the service isn't useful or non-people-based to begin with, there's almost negative incentive to use it. A few online apps can get away with using connections as their main draw for users, but most of them have to provide hardcore benefits, especially if they're essentially reinventing the wheel.
