Hey, wow, you can edit old posts in XJournal. You learn something new every day. When I started using it I didn't know what you could do with the history browser because I didn't have any history.

Also, it has a Web browser of sorts surreptitiously jammed into it. (Now that Mac OS has a native Web engine component just like Windows, that's easy to do.)

Also, it can generate system Address Book entries for your friends. It doesn't seem to be able to automatically merge them with existing entries for the same people, though. Maybe just as well.

Hmm...

The reason I didn't know you could edit old posts in XJournal was that the feature was added recently.

XJournal seems to have some marked instabilities associated with login and other interactions with the mothership; here's hoping they get ironed out soon.

is strangely soothing, even though you'll never see the results because you are reading this through your friends page.

It seems as if most of my posts these days are technical notes about my LiveJournal itself. Nobody wants to read those.

Well, I'll fix that! I'll make a post that is instead about how most of my posts are technical notes about my LiveJournal itself!

I typed "volume of bathtub in human heads" and didn't get anything.

A couple of weeks ago I went with Sam to a used-book store and got some good stuff from their science-fiction section, mostly classics that I had never gotten around to reading.

Another good one was The City and the Stars by Arthur C. Clarke. In this one it's the stilted, lecture-filled prose style that seems dated, much more than the ideas, some of which are startlingly ahead of their time. I suspect that The City and the Stars provided part inspiration for the goofy movie Zardoz as well as much of the "transhuman" philosophical SF of the 1990s.
