  • I use words good.

    According to the Commonly Confused Words test…

    Advanced

    You scored 100% Beginner, 93% Intermediate, 100% Advanced, and 66% Expert!

    You have an extremly good understanding of beginner, intermediate, and advanced level commonly confused English words, getting at least 75% of each of these three levels’s questions correct. This is an exceptional score. Remember, these are commonly confused English words, which means most people don’t use them properly. You got an extremely respectable score.

    Not bad, all things considered. Go ahead and try your hand at it, won’t you?

  • R.I.P., ENTPORMS1

    It took me a solid week, minus the weekend I wasn’t allowed to work. There were major and minor hitches along the way. But as of a few short minutes ago, I’m done with the old machine, having migrated the last account.

    The email server’s dead. Long live the email server.

    I’ve been dealing with almost nothing but email for the last month or so, and it’s taken up at least half of my working time for the last year. I still have one bit of work to do (setting up quotas) but after that I can actually… gods forbid… concentrate on other parts of my job! I know, it’s almost too radical a concept to grasp. Wow.

    Now all I need to do is wait 45 minutes for the next bus out of here…

  • You have one week remaining.

    I’m so shameless, I’m going to remind you all again that my birthday’s coming up, and that I like presents. If you’re short on ideas, I refer you to my wishlist.

    Mind you, I’d also be happy with promises of good company, good food, movie-watching or some combination thereof. I may be greedy, but I’m fairly easygoing…
