Hobbitwerk Tools Over the last few weeks a few good ideas for tools have crossed my path.  One was courtesy of J who suggested a page that would allow you to email yourself URLs if your network security prevented you from visiting a website.  I wrote something simple called Hobbit::StealthBrowser to that end:  It's annoying to find oneself unable to send Instant Messages (IMs).  I therefore present to you Hobbit::IMdropper, a web based utility for sending Instant Messages.  Your network may be down, your network administrator may be paranoid, you may just need to get a quick word out; there are a hundred reasons one can think of to have a web based IM option but it's the reasons we can't think of that will prove most important1: The fruits of boredome, solitude and Portishead in South Dakota. posted in [home], [technie] 1Yes, bitten from Contact.  But so fitting, no? 10:42:35 PM    comment [] Adjustment I've just begun my latest tour in South Dakota.  This one will traverse my birthday and have me home on August 7.  Over the last couple of days I've been getting back into life here and comfort has been more elusive than usual.  The part of my mind associated with activity has to slow down whereas the part associated with reflection has to gear up.  In California one has a tendency to rush around to make time while in South Dakota the opposite is tempting: you end up doing things to kill time.  Either case can be a source of frustration. I'm thinking about all the people like me right now: hundreds, thousands - even millions alone in a hotel room, like sitting in a satellite orbiting the earth, sending radio signals to friends. posted in [home], [prattle] 10:25:05 PM    comment []
