This is more typical than extraordinary, ad I just write it up because I still find it remarkable.
I spent my day at home at my computer, anti-social and alone, eh? I just took my newly restored blue bike for a spin to get some groceries.
Well, in truth, you just didn't see the people here with me, because they're on the other end of the Internet, physically.
Apart from the part where I talk to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
essayel and celticangel76 as a matter of course, during the RPage in Morningstar Manor? Well, I refreshed my f-list and saw a post by _inbetween_ about CSS problems, of which I understand roughly as much as a lizard does about flying; but japanologist does nothing but CSS and Open Source and web programming and server administration and Drupal all day, so I linked him to the post, he answered with an entry on his tech blog, and off they were.
Later, I asked 'Tweeny about Svava the cat's rug-peeing problem, as she's something of a catspert -_inbetween_ not Svava, who is just a cat. 'Tweeny asked me what the rug smelled of, and I said, 'Rubber and peach-scented fabric conditioner', upon which the expert advised me to drop a tiny bit of that in the corner of the litter-box.

I sometimes check new web sites under XP and IE forjapanologist as he won't tolerate those in his MS-free environment in his agency, but not today - I admired the almost-finished version of one that I'd sent hours on, during its early stages, though. He sent me a link to the iTunes music store, too, and I finally got around to making an account to buy music without the interference of little silvery plastic discs that get used exactly once these days.
That's how anti-social I was today, the cat and me all by ourselves in my little apartment...
