+ The ceiling caved in at work last night. Yeah.

+ The plus side is that the office is beginning to look festive. I still think it's too early, but it's nice.

+ Next week is the Admin Christmas lunch! Love it.

+ Tonight I'm going to see Grimethorpe Colliery Band play in town. They put on a Christmas concert every year and I haven't been since I was 10. The local primary schools used to bandy their choirs together, and we'd sing at the concert. I'm more excited than I have any reason to be, but I get in free because The Dad is a Rotarian and it's funded by the local Rotary Club.

+ I have a pretty blue dress to wear but it shows way too much cleavage so that's probably not going to happen.

+ The Flatmate, T and N were all in London last night, at one of Regina Spektor's shows. Let's not talk about my woeface, but instead of how N sent me a picture of the concert in medias res, and how The Flatmate spent most of the day texting me with: ALAN! ALAN! ALAN! AL! AL! ALAN! ALAN! andhearts, guys.

+ I wanted to re-watch last night's Spooks but the iPlayer doesn't load it until it airs on BBC1. Alternative methods are available, but fuck that.

+ Don't tell anyone; today I'm wearing leggings. !!!!

+ I have new icons for the first time in absolutely ages. Will be loading those soon.

+ I finally got dreamhost to do what I wanted it to do! Why so complicated? Now I just need recs for FTP clients. Anyone?

+ I have written a LOT of letters in the past week. This year I'm sending Christmas cards which is the first time in nearly 7 years. This is not one of those do you want one? posts because I don't believe in that invitation for anything that isn't a postcard.

That was terribly yawn but at least I now have all that off my chest.

re: FTP: I always just use FireFTP, which is a Firefox add-on and works in-browser. It does what it needs to (= upload shit!) and nothing more, and it's nice to not have to boot up a separate program.

Those two were probably not related, right? Lols.

I wonder if I can find something similar for Chrome? Hmm. Thanks!

Haha, no. I did wonder if I should clarify that, but I liked the image.

I keep forgetting you're on Chrome! I had actually taken into account the fact that you might be on a Mac. It's really early for me, ok!

Ha, same here. And holes in the ceiling could make things look festive if it were snowing. Or the star of Bethlehem happened to be above said hole. (I don't think that thing is actually called the star of Bethlehem but see above re: how early it is and how I haven't been exposed to Christianity in about a decade.)

I have been debating recently whether or not my next computer choice should be a Mac. Obviously you were thinking ahead. !

A bucket of water fell and grossed everything, so not so much the Star of Bethlehem. (Is called that, huzz.)

[twincy.livejournal.com]

Whoop, same here! Largely a moot point as there are about ten-thousand gadgets I need/want more than a new laptop and also I have no money.

Ah. No then. (Huzzah! This probably means it is referenced in a song because nowadays all I remember about Christianity is the stuff in the songs that I wake up singing one morning and am then all "What, self? WHAT IS THIS?" about. This has also happened with Bon Jovi so I'm not sure what that says about me. Bon Jovi = God?

Those two were probably not related, right? - Heeee, I thought the same thing. Hang tinsel around the hole?
