I’m not doing a huge post. I’m doing fairly well. Both of my daughters are grown and well. The same woman and I have a new little “poochon” dog named Howard after Lovecraft. Weed is legal in NY, so that’s great, but I’m still drinking way too much vodka. I’m unemployed as of October. Got severance until. well, today, I guess, so tomorrow I’m officially on the dole. Getting my blog back up and working is part of an effort...
Last night was a rough one. Not sure if it had anything to do with the lithium; probably more a case of a particularly typically awful day at work. 2016-12-14 (Wednesday) Woke up early today. Took the first morning 300mg. I’d divvied up all my morning and night doses in a pill reminder box. I could skip a day with just the Wellbutrin and friends, but don’t wanna miss one with lithium in the mix. Got to work early, too....
Went to bed yesterday around noon-thirty while spending a sick day at home, mostly out of boredom. Woke up at 5PM. While finishing leftover potatoes and brussels sprouts, I watched the tail end of “Don’t Make Waves” with Tony Curtis (with Sharon Tate), then a few episodes of “How the Universe Works” before settling into a funk that had me definitely wanting to flick the switch. I took my double-double of Klonopin and lithium and went back to bed around...
After exhausting the pharmacopoeia of most depression-fighting medications, my drug dealer finally prescribed lithium. After I’d suggested it. A special fellow crazy person to whom I am attached has been taking it with spectacular results, although with a bipolar history. My disorderly mental health record has consisted mostly of deep and dark troughs and void of manic highs save for the few hours after my morning Adderall. Nevertheless, lithium is (one of?) the only medications proven to reduce rates of...
After a recent Ubuntu upgrade, one of my frequented remote servers stopped accepting my public key and was prompting me for my password. The password is gross and unwieldy and I was most put-out, I must say. So, I googled the title of this post. Mostly suggestions to check the permissions of various files. All of mine were locked tight to user-only, including my home directory. Of course, I’d already tried ssh -vvv to get all the debugging output. Unfortunately,...
… and this is why I’ve been unable to share/upload my Fallout 4 videos. When I get home, going to “Settings” -> “Application Saved Data Management” and turning “Auto Upload” OFF. I don’t even use this cloud-save system. Must’ve ticked the box when I was going through settings after purchase. In any case, their cloud system really does suck compared to XB1– which I have used when the little special lady-friend gamer comes over to play. In the comparison...
I’m real bad about things lining up. Used to go out of my way to ensure variable declarations were columnized by access mode, type, name, equals sign and initial value. final BufferedImage mapImg = MapImageFactory.newInstance(width, height); final int count = ad.getPosition() * 2; mapImg.composite(adImg, 25 , (this.adHeight + 20) * count + 20, Over); mapImg.composite(adTxt, 25 + this.adWidth, (this.adHeight + 20) * count + 20, Over); The Tabularizer plugin for vim was a boon for productivity. Well, mine. For everyone else,...
