I'm stuck in the Science Library of SUNY Albany at the moment. It's not so bad: I've been able to monopolize one of the many IBM desktops here in the room where they keep the microforms and use completely browser-based tools to read email, chat on IRC, set up a store on CafePress, and at least get something resembling the preliminaries of my daily work done.

John Wiseman linked to this here muck on his own highly entertaining and useful blog, lemonodor, which now obligates me to at least attempt to be interesting. I'll aspire to this ideal starting today. Thanks John!
