Next time I'm on the road for work, do not put hookers on the company credit card.

Ahh. Like coming in after a long day of plowing the fields and sticking your aching feet into a pot of hot water. After running Linux all day at work, you feel like slipping into something more comfortable. Sam knows it. Zonker knows it, though he won't admit it. It's the right amount of just-workiness you need to let you relax, while knowing you could, at any given moment, do something like:

Nice.

OK, here's one with drivel. I do like it, but I have a couple of gripes.

• First problem: I was hopelessly confused by the login screen. The type of journal seems to be locked on livejournal, as the drop-down menu for journal types is inexplicably disabled until you enter a username. -1 for usabilty

• Second problem: Useless stripping of trailing slash, which mangled my xmlrpc URL. Error 301 was ignored, which makes sense since it's a post and all, but I couldn't log in. It mangled my URL then choked on the error :-/

• Third problem: didn't want to download my recent posts. Although there might be a misunderstanding about just what "recent" means.

• Fourth problem: Doesn't let me choose post status anywhere. And there's nowhere I can find to choose text filters. This is more of a feature request, really.

• Fifth problem: craps out after posting, probably because it keeps mangling the trailing slashes from my URLs. Is there an RFC somewhere that says that POSTS can't end with slashes? Nobody tell the Django folks.

Well, maybe it'll at least let me post to my blog from work every now and then.

Man, I dang sure missed the entire month of June. I've been in the UK now for about two months, and let me tell ya: They sure do get some rain around here. I always thought those stories about English people having gills were legends and fantasies. Now, I'm not so sure.

But at least it's cold and damp.
