Found on a Stone Wall in the Jungle.
That’s its name. Haven’t been to a jungle in a while, sadly.

And here it is: “Tron Gets a Pet Hamster.”
New Year’s Resolutions. Sort of.
Peeked at Dean Wesley Smith’s blog post on New Year’s Resolutions while I was trying to accomplish some of mine, so here goes another quick note to myself.
A thousand words per day.
Publish/distribute fiction on Mondays.
Free Fractal Friday.
I shall elucidate later. Must work now.
Free Fractal Friday: January 6, 2012
Every Friday this year I’m going to put up at least one fractal for you to download. They will be offered under the Creative Commons license.
And here’s the first one: “This Time for Sure!”

This Time for Sure!
It’s also the first fractal that I’ve labeled with my new font set. I’m using the Open Font Licensed fonts offered by Google Code:

I LOVE HTML5.

A nice person on DeviantArt told me my contact form isn’t working.
Noted and on the To Fix list. Thanks.
Linux Mint is working fine
During my trip out of state, which ends today, Windows 7 secided that I no longer owned the copy of it that came OEM on my Dell laptop. Yes, I tend to poke around in the guts of the OS, but some virus was systematically corrupting every program on the computer.
When it corrupted Apophysis, and corrupted every re-install, of course it went over the line into intolerable.
So I wiped the entire drive, including he verboten re-imaging partition, and then installed Linux Mint.
Apophysis, and everyhing else I need, works quite well, either with WINE, Mono, HPsip, or right out of the box.
Thumbs up and kudos to the Linux Mint crew.
We now return you to our regularly-scheduled career.
Just finished reading one of Dean’s blog posts:

and had the reaction “Oh yeah! That’s what I was going to do.”
So hopefully I can get back into the groove this week.
By the way, for those of you who gave me your email address along with a request, I have lost one of the spiral binders I used for recording these tbings, so please email me if it seems I’m neglecting you.
