Nothing funny about feldspar

Well, here it is, Friday night. I didn’t finish everything on my list. In fact, since I left the most time consuming ones for last (roofers, boxes and posting), I didn’t get them done. I did think about the post I want to write about independent scholarship, but didn’t get much farther than the assertion stated in the original list.

So, my score is 5/8 items done. Not bad, but it’s more like 30% complete if one considers the size of the tasks involved.

However, I did get a couple of other things done that I didn’t expect, such as writing a nastygram to Comcast for their redesigned-to-be-unreadable website and their stupid online billing system that suddenly doesn’t work with Safari (after having worked quite well for over a year) and their inane “tech support” people who insist that I need to have the latest java and flash to make the fonts appear darker on their site.¹

I also managed to get the supplies for a workshop I’m taking tomorrow. I just hope I can glue while under the influence…

1. I’m all for low-contrast designery sites (for instance, this blog) if I’m not trying to conduct financial transactions for crying out loud.↩
