Gentle Readers,
I'm hanging out here, awake and waiting for our lone house guest to arrive. We were expecting 2 but that got changed so there's only one. I think I want to be asleep.
The last couple of weeks I've been staying up past 10 and it's really done a number on me. I'm tired all the time. I still wake up at 5 and any sleep I get after that just seems to be worthless. I've been taking melatonin to try and help but I think I'm just too tired by the time I actually go to sleep for it to be as useful as it could.
It's hard being a diurnal freak. My sleep schedule seemms to be almost the exact oposite of so many of my friends. They like staying up all night and going to bed at 5, I like going to be early and getting up at 5.
Early to rise and early to bed makes a man healthy but socially dead.
In other news, our guest will be bringing with her my gauntlets that I've been waiting for for about 6 months. I saw them mostly finished a couple weeks ago and they are lovely. I just need to stitch them to a pair of gloves and I'm off to the races. That may be my craft for tomorrow.
I'll post pictures when they are done.
What else can I talk about here. I've been thinking about things I want to learn when we have time again. Steno is one of them. I've been thinking that it might be easier to write if my fingers could keep up with my brain. It's bad enough that my sentences are finished in my head well before I get them out to the screen but it's even worse when I spell something wrong and I have to back track and then refresh my thoughts. There's a tool for Ubuntu called Plover which sounds like it could be cool, but if I understand correctly it needs a special keyboard which makes it somewhat less useful.
At least for the idea of a portable workstation.
I did really like the ideas for using a chording keyboard for code writing. That sounded pretty interesting, although I think you would have to some how change your dictionary for different projects.
Guests are here.
Bye.
