Once every few months or so I do something completely boneheaded like leave the power adapter for the laptop at work. Sometimes I'll throw the graphics tablet in the bag and leave the stylus on my desk. As you can guess form the title, today I left the power cord in the office. (Don't ask me why I haven't bothered to buy a second one so I could always have one at home and one at the office.)

This doesn't mean blogging will be any less lacking than usual. It just means that I have to do it on the Cube. Which also means that after a couple of years of poorly typing on a powerbook, I now have to try it on a full size keyboard. This will make typing slower and less accurate than normal. Also I have never installed Ecto on this system so I'm going to have to use the mu.nu Moveable Type interface and do things like manually enter links and other html type stuff. (So don't expect anything fancy this weekend.) (Hold that thought. I don't know if it was an OS X update, a Safari update, or the tireless magic of Pixy Misa, but the little formatting buttons on the web interface that never worked before are working now! So I can easily - read lazily - do links, bold, italics, and even underlines. I guess if you try hard enough there is a silver lining to be found.

Still, all of my bookmarks are on the laptop. I never did get around to syncing them to the Cube.

One of these days I'll get it together.

But then again one of these days it might not be necessary. Things are happening. Wheels are turning. There is the slightest hint of a new wind blowing. But who knows. It all has to be kept hush hush and Top Secret.
