1. I let the thing about the new place for telling people about fun things being said about fandom sit for a few days because I wanted to think about all of the good things you all said. And while I let it sit, nemonclature (without knowing about what I did!) started metanews, which is going to be much more of a news place than what I thought of. This is great because it means that I can let her start something first! If hers goes well I'd like to try something that's about making lists of stuff that isn't new but in the mean time you should all go and watch what's happening with metanews.

2. The above was written in the upgoer6 text editor. :P It is cool and really makes me want to go finish the historify text editor I was working on.

3. Also I let it sit because I have learned that, nope, I am still not a person who enjoys having two collapsed comment threads in the same week. I loved all of your comments and they were great threads but wow I ran out of deal-with-people juice pretty quickly after that.

4. So instead I taught myself how to turn comic panels into 3D stereo pairs and started taking over the Stereo Pair tag on tumblr. Enjoy. Or get a headache. Possibly both. (I think my tumblr is now officially "random visual stuff". Although now that I've said that I'll probably go back to posting scans of strange/obscure comics which was my original goal over there.)

5. My brand-new laptop is having annoying and strange connectivity issues to wireless, mostly involving losing the connection repeatedly, not being able to load the web even when it says it's connected, and refusing to see the wireless network at all. But then sometimes it'll work fine for a whole day. And it doesn't help that Windows 8 is fundamentally unhelpful. I suspect it's because most of the wireless connections I use regularly are still WEP encrypted and Windows 8 hates WEP, but it's that way because my old XP laptop hates WPA. Any advice from anyone on this...?
