Changing phones and changing phone service providers is incredibly annoying when you have two-factor authentication turned on for every device and service you have.

Oh that’s JUST GREAT
I will never stop being entertained and/or completely creeped out by the search queries that lead to my blog:
I want so badly to know what the unknown search terms are each day, guys. So badly.
Tonight will be an interesting test; my nerdery will be put head-to-head against my advancing age and inertia. I want to stay up to preorder an iPhone 6 (12:01 AM provided no technical issues, and we allll know there are gonna be technical issues) but I am old and I like sleep and I have to work tomorrow. Will I make it? Or will I go “fuck it,” and get up a little early tomorrow, and maybe omg end of world have to wait an extra week for my new shiny to arrive?
Keep in mind that I waited in line for three days for tickets for Episode One, and do not regret it. I am an old hand at this shit. The problem is the “old” bit is literal.
We’ll see what happens.
Question for those nerdier than myself
How complicated would it be to host my books myself and sell them through the site? I’m competent enough to know that I’d need server space and some sort of software package to handle the sales, but not competent enough to know how simple/expensive it is to acquire and set that up.
(By “myself,” I don’t mean “physically host a server in my house,” unless physically hosting a server in my house is easier than I think it is. I’m just wondering about ways to sell my books that put 100% of the sale into my pocket rather than the cut Amazon might give me.)
I keep asking Twitter this…
…and no one ever answers.
I am reading the following webcomics on a regular basis. This list used to be way longer:
Ctrl+Alt+Del is in my bookmarks, but I’ve been skipping over it for months.
I feel like I need more webcomics.
What are you reading?
Hey! Social media experts!
Anyone out there using about.me for anything?
Tell me about it.
Warning
My misanthropy is out of control today, even by my standards. May still be a bit before regular posting resumes.

Today, so far, has been the day I was worried most of the summer was going to turn into– hours and hours of pointless web surfing and bullshit combined with a complete lack of accomplishment by any metric whatsoever and a mild bout of depression. I caught myself thinking about returning to my previous school on the way home from taking the boy to day care this morning and by the time I got back to my house I was halfway to a fucking panic attack.
I do not want to teach any more. Regardless of where I end up, this must be my last year in this profession. It’s killing me.
I’m going to sit here on the couch with my laptop and uselessly get pissed off at the world until my wife and son get home now.
Do you use Goodreads?
I *think* my author page up there is finally properly updated, and I’ve gotten rid of the “civilian” Luther Siler page, so the three of you who friended that one, please don’t take it personally.
At any rate, I’m accepting any and all friend requests at Goodreads now, and will make an attempt to start using that site a little more consistently.
