Monitor #2 appears to have a dead pixel, stuck on red and very near the centre of the monitor. How irritating.

Overdue Update
So, I’m way overdue for an update, and although I’ve been working away at them I’ve fallen way behind on the personal projects mentioned and hinted at in previous entries on this blog.
I’m still not really great with people, but I do feel like I’m a little better than a used to be. Certain friends insist that I’m really better than I think I am, but personally I tend to think I do a pretty reasonable job with friends but still manage to be near useless with strangers, which obviously is fairly useless for making new acquaintances. I am still trying to work on this, but I’m really not good at letting go of the safety net that established friends provide and trying to talk to people who I don’t already know.
My arthritis (in combination with some old running injuries) is playing up lately, which is pretty painful and sort of puts a cramp on trying to go out and be social, although I’m trying not to allow it to effect me too badly.
