!pleH !pleH

I am such a newbie.

It’s taken me four hours of fussing just to change a few colors around… and now that it’s done, it bears a strong resemblance to one of the color schemes I use on my work computer.

Back when I was just an AOL nerd and I’d be cracking on typing and cutting and pasting, I’d occasionally get this humorous error when Windows 3.0 and AOL… um… 3? 4? didn’t play well. I’d copy text, get set to paste in an IM, and nothing would appear in the target window except a forlorn little “pleH.”

I think I need the pleH of my husband giving me a back rub and maybe a nice cup of herbal tea before falling into bed.

Unfortunately, I think I’m going to be seeing color – a LOT of color, in my dreams tonight. That is, if I sleep at all.

Maybe I’ll finally finish reading the Samuel Pepys: The Unequalled Self, by Claire Tomalin biography I stalled out on… I know how it ends, so I haven’t been that anxious to get there. 😉

The O’Franken Factor

Liberal talk network lands Chicago outlet

Heh. This brought an Evil Chuckle to my lips:

“Franken, who has established himself as one of the country’s leading conservative-bashers, said: “My first priority is to get sued by a right-wing jerk in order to generate interest in my new show, ‘The O’Franken Factor.’ Our hope is to do drug-free talk radio, although I understand it’s never been done.

:(I don’t know WHAT he means. Or who. Nope.)

“Quite simply, my plan is to alter the political landscape, drive this radical right-wing president from office and stand as a beacon for ordinary Americans who work hard and play by the rules. Short of that, I’d just like to get on in Albany,” he said.

“Network” suits with Progress Media were formerly with AOL and XM Satellite Radio. Hmm.

Please let there be an Internet feed of this station once Al’s show starts.

That is, once they buy WNTD-AM, switch formats, and Al’s show starts. Might be interesting to listen for the changeover.

Oh please oh please oh please oh please.

But here’s something – Harry’s Shearer’s Le Show has all their stuff online, I can listen to that at work for now. D’oh. I should have checked for that long ago. I keep forgetting to tune in the night it airs here in Chicagoland.

Rats. Real Player doesn’t play nice with the work setup. Rats. Rats.
