Just catching up with my life
Apologies for not posting anything in ages again. I have even more half-written posts now!
Last week I had a cold, and the snot has continued most of this week. Blah.
Portal 2 is eating my life. Also I am doing cognitive behavioural therapy about my sleep problems, which may help in the long run.
Must post the interesting links that are cluttering up my browsers. All of them. I have five different Firefox profiles, and they're all cluttered with stuff that I'm saving - even the one called "start blank"!
Tomorrow I'm going to the Oxford not-a-BiFest. Wasn't sure if I was going to be well enough because of the snot, but today was a gloriously sunny day and I have been outside for lots of it. I will be having Fun With Trains, since the most sensible route becomes Railway Replacement Buses at 8pm, and they are not guaranteed to be accessible. So I have to come home by a different route to the one that I'm going up on. Fortunately, it isn't too insane. In booking my Assisted Travel I managed to convince them that Oxford --> Basingstoke --> Surbiton was vastly preferable to Oxford --> Basingstoke --> Clapham Junction --> Norbiton, considering I can just get a bus or taxi home from Surbiton. Going back up to Clapham Junction and down again would add about 45 minutes onto the journey. But I was still on the phone for about 35 minutes, which is ridiculous compared to the amount of effort it takes to book a journey if you can do stairs. (In fact, most people wouldn't even bother to prebook a journey of this type, given that 2/3 of the trains are ordinary commuter trains). Hmm.
I also have a new phone, as mentioned recently - an HTC Desire Z. Now I need recommendations for Android apps for:
What a disjointed post! Oh well.

I also have a new phone, as mentioned recently - an HTC Desire Z. Now I need recommendations for Android apps for:
- a good livejournal client (something like Semagic on Windows would be awesome - Xjournal on Mac OS X is usable but nasty).
- a notepad-type program (emailing or texting myself seems a bit stupid in most circumstances when I could simply tap in a note).
- an irc client that can handle multiple servers at once.
- Anything else which I "must" get.
What a disjointed post! Oh well.

Another interesting thing on the official website is a comic which links Portal and Portal 2 together: Download as PDF (http://media.steampowered.com/apps/portal2/comic/Portal2_Lab_Rat.pdf) or Read online (http://www.thinkwithportals.com/comic/).

I don't like any of the lj clients I've tried, I tend to just use the website.
I do irc in screen on my server so I can reconnect easily, I connect to that with irssi connectbot with has some improvements over base connectbot (the SYM key on the Desire Z works, for example).
There's a google docs client now that you could use to write notes and it would be available from a computer.
