Electronics on my home network (computers + Tivo) are all Jossverse vampires. [eta: Wait, I take that back. I ran out of good vampire names when I bought my current laptop, so it's Lady Nocturne, which started the Tek Jansen series of names.] External drives are either Tek Jansen or BSG characters (except for Miss Edith, the first external hard drive I ever bought for Dru the G5). iPods are all spaceship computers (Hal, Dora, and Holly).

I renamed my Tivo to NotTino.

I think the most interesting part of the itch article is the implication that sensory perception is a brain ish and NOT necessarily the signals transmitting to the brain.

I dunno I think scratching through to your brain is amazing and icky and just a great way to start this article.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I feel like my neighbors will judge my network.

I promise I only judge the networks named "Linksys" or "default". If you named it "Digital Underground" I would think you were utterly awesome based on your network name.

Hahaha. Amych is me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If you named it "Digital Underground" I would think you were utterly awesome based on your network name.

That is my goal! My neighbors are either boring or mean ("NoViosForYou!").

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I feel like my neighbors will judge my network.

So naming it "biteme" is right out?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

In case of local network failure I did always try to connect to "Linksys" and "default" first--I figured those are less likely to be password protected. Nowadays fancy software tells you you're locked out ahead of time, no point trying. And last time I looked everyone in my building had everything locked down. Which is good, I suppose, except when I *need* to freeload.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I renamed my Tivo to NotTino.

Speaking of Tivo and Tino, my DVR refused to record V last night, for apparently no reason! It was set right, it recorded SYTYCD, but no V - and I didn't find out until 10 min. from the end.

Or if they are, the passwords tend to be "password" (or "p@55word" etc).

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

External drives are either Tek Jansen or BSG characters (except for Miss Edith, the first external hard drive I ever bought for Dru the G5).

My iPod is Miss Edith, both for Dru's doll and for the Lonely Doll books.
