1. For the fun of it, I've added a new section to my profile. "Where in the world is HatMan's sleep schedule?" I'll try to remember to keep it more or less up to date.
2. I had a bunch of booklets that I scanned for a friend. It was supposed to be just for the once, and I wanted the best image quality. I figured if I was sticking it all on CD or whatever, file size wouldn't be an issue. But now I want to share it more broadly. Is there a good, simple, free tool for collecting them, converting them to reasonable size, and turning them into, say, PDFs?
3. Sorry about the rain in the Northeastern US. Mom went to visit her uncle in California, and NJ seems to have been crying over it the whole time. But, now that she's back, it seems to have stopped for now. (Of course, the forecast doesn't seem to agree, so maybe it's not just her.)
4. Support points are kind of funny. It's cool to get them, but then it starts to feel more like a competition. Like, "Hey, why is this person replying below me with almost the same exact information? Is she trying to steal my support point?" Which is just stupid, really. The point of support (er, so to speak) is to help the person. (And, of course, to do it in the officially correct style.) It's not like the points actually do anything, other than show that you've been helpful. (Although I am still a little confused on the specifics of how they work. But that's understandably a low priority, documentation-wise.)
5. I am cross-posting a lot less than I'd expected. I've still got a good number of longtime friends on LJ who haven't moved to DW. But DW seems more on my mind these days, and so I'm writing a lot of DW-specific things. Hmm.
6. I posted that survey meme last entry thinking it'd be a good way to get to know my shiny new DW friends. And it probably is. But now I find I'm intimidated by the prospect of reading all those huge long comments. And several people on my subscription list have posted surveys in response. I've got them open in tabs, but... still intimidated. I'm not particularly low on spoons, but my brain is still balking at the idea of using so many at once. Will get to them soon. One at a time...
7. I'm approaching the Flickr free photostream limit - once you hit 200 pics, you either get a paid account or allow your old photos to start scrolling off the list. So I went back and made sure everything was tagged. As long as I'm posting, if anyone's curious, the "me" tag. It's got a few random pics of me. And something I drew on MS Paint for an old meme.

(Meantime, I just edited in Item 7 - random pics of me - in case you're interested.)

Oh, that happens to me all the time. Forget the proper voice or miss an important detail in reading the question or something. But I just do my best, and sometimes it works out. If not... someone else generally comes in to do it better. (Although there is someone who annoyed me by doing the opposite. Which is kind of what prompted that part of the entry in the first place.) I'm hoping to improve with experience. For now, I've got 8 shiny points telling me that hey, I did do some good...
