I think that's a successful day

Saturday was a day when I wrote a "to do" list on the whiteboard at the start of the day, and had it all done by the end of it. I'm not sure whether that was because my expectations were more realistic than usual, or because I was getting better at getting things done. Anyway, I got quite a bit of washing up done, and some patch review for metacity's RTL support, and I experimented a bit with Facebook's application platform, and I wrote two new *FX MARNANEL articles: a writeup of my experience with Facebook's application platform, especially considering I was using Perl rather than PHP, which all the examples are in, and also my history as a programmer. Lastly, I ended up playing battleships on a ewtoo talker for the first time in about five years. It was a sudden surprise to realise that my entermsg has been the same on all talkers for almost fifteen years now.
Someone said they would like *FX MARNANEL to be syndicated in the places where this journal is syndicated, but I think it's a better idea that when I write a nontrivial article there, I'll just briefly mention it in a post here. That way you can keep up with both if you want to just by reading this, and if you don't want to, you can just skip over it.
Grammar nargery: I was shopping with Plexq (who is also English), and we saw a sign that said "If you would prefer our cashier scan your item, please let them know", which got us discussing the use of the subjunctive in American versus British grammar. (A commenter on Feministing, who from other places I think is American, was complaining about the use of the subjunctive in some (British) graffiti recently.)
Here's hoping that today will be as successful as yesterday!
