Does someone ruin a hand or at least lose fingers in *EVERY* one of Tim Powers‘ books?

Stress of Her Regard – Yup (still reading)
Declare – mm-hmm.
Earthquake weather – yup
On Stranger tides – yes
Last call – yup.

Those are just the ones I’ve read.

The spawn of the XM Sirius fusion emerges tomorrow, and Orbitcast has picked up the complete channel listing for XM subscribers that goes into effect in less than 24 hours. It’s fairly grim for some diehard XM fans—a lot of stations have been erased (bye bye punk channel) or are being replaced by Sirius pseudo-equivalents.

No more upop? lucy? fred? ethel? high standards? soul street? Doesn’t look good, kids.

9508 – just a psa for AVG & Windows users –

Leave a comment

The popular virus scanner AVG released an update yesterday that caused their software to mark user32.dll as a virus.

Since this is a rather critical file, AVG’s suggestion to remove it caused problems for users around the world who are now advised to restore the file through the Windows Recovery Console.

AVG just posted an update about this (FAQ item 1574) in the support section of their site.

Hopefully unconnected – NASA says its Phoenix lander on the surface of Mars has gone silent and is almost certainly dead. Engineers have not heard from the craft since Sunday 2 November when it made a brief communication with Earth. Phoenix, which landed on the planet’s northern plains in May, had been struggling in the increasing cold and dark of an advancing winter. The US space agency says it will continue to try to contact the craft but does not expect to hear from it.

9507 – brevity.

Left work a bit early today to hit up physical therapy. Got some ultrasound, heat and electrical stim work done.

I think heat and stim combined are the most beneficial to me right now. I’ll likely go back to using the TENS box at home more frequently.

The exercises seem to be more beneficial – leg stretches, pelvic tilts, and some mild hip twists. – I did them when I got home, and I feel pretty good about it – let’s see how I feel with morning tightness in play. I’m a little concerned about how taut my back is going to be upon waking tomorrow – I’m pretty worn out, and will likely hit the sack shortly. I’m going to continue doing the yoga and just add to my nightly workout.

Watched Big Bang Theory, while eating a nice dose of leftover cabbage soup a la BHK and buttered bread knots – good stuff, perfect for a briskly chilly night. The cats are sure to be in bed with us this evening for the whole of the night, despite Newt and Pye’s evening house-run marathon habit.

Today was a good day, all told. My trepidation about going back to PT is fairly unwarranted, thus far.
