2000-10-24 I know it's a bit sick to read newsgroups with pine (it's very basic, text only). It's difficult and time consuming and I actually like it. That's the sick part. I uploaded some old stuff (everyone has either read it or couldn't care less about it) at aion just because I needed something there. No, not really... I just have very few new things to say nowadays. I'm bad at ranting/venting because I've gotten rusty (lack of practise, lately). Virtue.nu won't let me delete my files there, and I can't figure out how to change webring info with yahoo. They've made it upsettingly messy. I don't like yahoo that much anyway, and lately it's seemed like it's involved with absolutely everything. Also, I discovered that there are no FTP clients installed on university computers. I thought there were. I also thought there was anti-virus software but I can't find that either. It's a pain in the ass. And now that we're whining about everything that doesn't work, let's point out that eudoramail won't let me get the messages (assuming there are some) from my retrieve mail account. I have too many mail addresses, and mostly they're forwarded one way or other, and usually things work, too... I have started my literary essay, surprise, surprise, but I've got half a page this far, and I haven't read the other book I'm supposed to be referring to in two or three years. It's due on Monday, which isn't that far away. And I think I managed to save this page on the computer... woo me! I miss alt.angst and alt.alt.alt.alt.alt and especially... whatwasit? alt.cthulhu.coffee.buenos-dias.sombrero? Something like that? Something long and complicated and at least those words were included. My uni news server doesn't have it. (Bleh.) It got dark around four p.m. today. Fuck you too. (Now, the question is, is it diaryland who's fucking things up and making them disappear or my crappy browser/computer? Come on, tell me.) | older aion spindrift e-mail my profile diaryland.com
