Long day, not necessarily productive...

alexpgpI opened a jury summons thinking it was old, and it isn't. I'm on the hook for next Monday. I have no objection to serving on a jury, except that like most things in life, the system is rigged in favor of employees, about which I have nothing more to say right now.
The "bag" for the day stands at just over 2,000 target words. This is not exactly awful, but given the State of the Plate, I'm thinking I should probably do some more work tonight.
In theory, I ought to be able to, say, connect to the Verizon network as usual on an XP machine and then share the connection with a LAN through the machine's LAN port. In practice, it ain't happening that way, so unless I drag my hardware down to, like, the Higher Grounds coffee shop and use their wifi setup, it would appear that my Linux partitions will remain un-updated.
I've been listening to the French Pod Class for over a year and decided it might be worth finally subscribing to the thing, but upon clicking on the requisite link, Google Desktop sticks its nose in and tells me, and I quote:
Exactly what kind of bad juju is involved deponent saieth not, but frankly, this kind of thing is what got me thinking of visiting the site from a browser running under Linux, just to be on the safe side.
Anyway, it's time to turn away from work for a little while.
Cheers...

Date: 2008-06-19 12:18 am (UTC)The link GD is complaining about is http://www.frenchieproductions.com/subscriber/, which is located on this page (http://www.frenchpodclass.com/index.php?post_category=About), about which there is no complaint.
