As you may have gathered from my previous entry, there was snow! That's the first time ever I've had fluffy powdery bits of ice fall on me, and I'm still grinning in a somewhat mad fashion. Snow! Yay! I took my camera out and took photos (with a gap in the middle to, y'know, attach a lens and all), and then came back in and frantically wiped it dry, and took the film out and it's going to be developede yay tomorrow (but unfortunately I don't have a scanner) and then went back outside to be snowed on.

And that's a very long sentence. I suppose the short version is this: Wheee!

It's come to my attention through recent use of the win2k command line that, well, it sucks*. To this end, I finally got around to digging out my CD with the ports of things like ls, less and grep.

And, lastly, people seem to be mildly timid about commenting with linkyness or suggestions or such. Don't be. No comment is too random, no fun link too tangential, no book suggestion out of place.

*This may be because remembering about silly things like dir is now quite impossible for me.

*boggles* I can't imagine never having seen snow. I just can't. Snow has been a fact of my life for as long as I can remember, from six to eight months of the year. But then I can't imagine it being winter in August, either. Clearly my imagination is deficient. Or maybe I'm just an ice-blooded prairie girl with winter survival instincts hardwired into my nervous system.

Even I will admit that snow is one of the most beautiful things this planet has come up with. I'm glad you got a chance with it before it runs back to the parts of the world it's more familliar with.

*nods* I realise I'm being a shade irrational; some of Australia's more popular snowfields are all of an hour down the road. Still! It was pretty, and confused the furry residents.
