Interesting to see journals starting to come out of hiding over here - I presume as a result of LJs friends page plans. To be honest, I haven't dared* look at the new site scheme styled page given the dreadful things I've heard about it. I'll have to do a friends list readjustment over there so I don't end up with duplicated postings.

I have had an embarrassing revelation this afternoon - embarrassing, I hasten to add, only in the length of time that it has taken to arrive. I do not like my dining room chairs, and have never really been very fond of them, even when I bought them (they were a bargain at the time) and I suddenly realised a big reason why - my legs are too short for them! When I am sitting down, I cannot put my feet flat on the floor. I either let them hang, which is uncomfortable on the thighs or balance them on the ball of my feet, which is tiring on my feet. Note to self: test this next time.

Still haven't decided what sort of table to buy to go with new sofa when that arrives (no news yet). A normal height table for ease of gathering other chairs around for gaming, or a more coffee table sized one for ease of sitting on the floor?

Why yes, I do have an essay to write, how did you guess :)

Well that's something I've not done in a while! I actually just dug out my floppy disk drive and attempted to read some data from a floppy disk! An A drive popped up on my computer and everything! In fact, both disks appear to be blank, which suggests that they have been wiped (either by time or by accident or on purpose) or the drive is faulty, but I have no known good floppy disks with which to check this. It's a bizarre blast from the past.

Philosophizing

I have done one of those things I sometimes do in philosophy, I recall from the dim and distant past, which is to start off by feeling that I disagree with a philosopher's view, do some reading, do lots of thinking, come up with my own answer to the question being posed and come back to the original philosopher to discover that actually, we are in agreement over quite a lot of the subject and there are only a few assertions or uses of language to quibble with.

I haven't actually written the essay yet, no, but I feel that it may be imminent :)
