I'm so tired, and more than that, so tired of Netscape on my linux box choking in fear over simple well-formed HTML pages. It just crashed mid-post, so I'm reshaping my thoughts from the powerbook.

I'm now between my third and fourth days at Yahoo!. (note: The '!' is an integral part of Yahoo!'s brand identity, and should always be included as such. Thus, when someone inquires at your inclination to "Yahoo!?" it should be interpreted as a regular question, and not an interrobang (note to the note: an interrobang is actually "?!." (note to the note to the note: The period "." in the preceeding (preceeding) quote was grammatically correct, even there there is no period in an interrobang (n^4: except for the two periods within the ? and "!." (n^5: Argh. Forget it.)).) and so a "!?" would more accurately be termed a "bangogator.").) Did I mention I'm tired?

So, back on track: I only got about 3 hours of sleep Monday night, fretting about the new job starting on Tuesday. Tuesday night I played games at Ammy & Rick's, and didn't get home until around 10:30, got to sleep at midnight, got up at 5:30 (half hour before the alarm, but I was up, so it was no use). Last night I got 7 hours of sleep, but it was really hot and I had bad allergies so I tossed and snuffed all night. This morning it all caught up with me and I could barely stay awake most of the day. At least the meeting I most needed to be awake for was postponed.

Tonight I will sleep. Tonight I will sleep. Tonight I will sleep. Tonight I will sleep.

Work is great. These people really do know their stuff, and I think I'll fit right in. The best part is I haven't figured out yet whether they know just how rare they are. They probably do. Anyhow, it's just like summer camp where everyone's cool and they inspire each other to do great things.

Okay, now about blogging. I'm torn between getting a Blackberry and writing an email-blogging gateway, reactivating service on my Omnisky modem, or holding out for a ricochet modem for my laptop. The idea is that now that most of my non-work computer time will be in-transit (on the days I take Amtrak, anyhow) that I'd like to be able to blog from the train. Even more importantly, I'd love to be able to write a blog post whereever I am, whenever I have the thought. I leave myself voicemail messages on things to blog about when I'm driving in my car. I believe I have yet to actually blog one of them, and after about 6 weeks the saved message mysteriously disappears from my voicemail box.

So I've got that to figure out. I'm leaning towards the blackberry, which also has the cool bonus of being able to interact with Yahoo Instant Messager or (and possibly and) AIM (I may have to choose one or the other when I buy the service, in which case a server-based AIM<->YIM bridge may be another project to work on.). As for now, I barely had the initiative to sit down in front of the computer tonight to blog this. I'll write tomorrow morning about a cool sighting on the AOLiza front, but for now, I've got some catching up to do...
