Forthcoming Post

[active_apathy]

As I sort out things like my homework¹ (which, tonight, is picking books³ to take in tomorrow⁴), I'm also working on a Very Long post about a somewhat controversial poll-it-tickle issue from a Few Days Back. This post may even have diagrams, unless I collapse from death because now, I get to rip lots and lots of statistics out of an OpenOffice.org Calc worksheet for the consumption of the general populace.

So, um, yes. Post coming as soon as I can make that one happen. And then bludgeon Photoshop into diagram production.

As you might've guessed, I didn't really do much today. Except colour in names, and make an OpenOffice.org Calc spreadsheet, and... um... sleep. And pick books to take in tomorrow.

Also, this has been a test of numbered footnoting⁶, with a teensy tiny little line over the footnotes because, well, teensy tiny little line. See? I do listen to my flist!⁷ The text is also slightly smaller⁸, so tell me if this causes issues.

¹I have homework again! Yay! Bow before Scribble answers on my Studentlike Awesomeness makework²!
²It comes to my attention here that some of my flistees are students of the kind that's never failed their way out of an educational institution, so here it is: Homework isn't always pointless after-hours makework. Sometimes it's useful. Trick is, you can't actually tell until after you've (a) done it, or (b) failed the assessments. Best to do it, just to be safe.
³So, um, don't scribble answers on them, because I like my books, and I don't like it when they get scribbled on, and you won't like me when I'm angry you scribble on my books. I also have rules about places where my books MUST NOT go, should they be borrowed; this includes (but is not limited to) places where, upon leaving, hands must be washed.
⁴ It's all for the course they call 'Use Cataloguing Tools'. We don't even need to actually catalogue the things, we're just taking them in to learn more about ripping information off a book so that you know what kinds of things to look for to find things in a catalogue⁵.
⁵Which, I suppose, is a useful skill, for it ensures we look all expert and wonderful to the less-informed users.
⁶As if you hadn't noticed. :)
⁷Jumping in with a list of times at which I have, in fact, not listened to my flist would just be mean, evil, and Not Very Nice. So, um, don't? Pleeeeaaaaase?
⁸It's a whole 10% smaller. Or the normal post text is 11% bigger than my footnote text. Or it's a token effort so that it just feels a tiny bit smaller, while in reality it's no more than one little tiny pixellydot smaller than normal. Unless you print it, and then it's probably a whole seventy-second of an inch worth of printydots smaller than normal.
