julian/blog

I’ve finally gotten far enough with my new blog to share it. I present: Interaction Serenity.

If there’s a post on julian/blog that you don’t want to be forgotten, let me know and I’ll port it over before taking this blog down.

I am working on a new one. Soon.

I need to decide which old posts in this one to keep around with a redirect.

It’s been fun, but I think the time for me to have a blog like this has come and gone.

It’s been interesting watching which posts of mine have had the most hits. Largely the favorites have not been the ones I was most interested in.

I’ll probably leave stuff up here for a little while longer—but the new space to watch will be missig.org/julian—or maybe a new URL if I come up with one.

Dialed. Busy. Set phone to auto-retry. Finally get through. Current time: 6:50 pm. Press buttons through the automated system. On hold. Still on hold. Current time: 7:07 pm. Finally, it gets through! Except it’s an automated message:

Our offices are currently closed. Please call us between 9 am and 7 pm, Monday through Friday.

All the more reason I’m happy that my apartment is wired for FiOS. 20/5 bliss. Too bad the mayor of Boston has decided that I can’t have FiOS TV too. Now if I could just get through to cancel my Comcast Internet service…

Dear Videogame Makers:

You do not need to present a dialog informing me that my saved game has loaded successfully. I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to tell when my game has loaded without having to click through yet another dialog.

I’m looking at you, Ubisoft.

That is all.

Finally. Amusingly, I was in line right behind Bonnie John. Trip report in one or two weeks.

Still trying to get my hands on one.
