This post has a shocking twist ending: EasyJet flight to Barcelona delayed 15 minutes! -

So the last power outage took down my pump.io machine. It appears to have suffered RAM damage. Will have to wait at least several days before this can be fixed. -

Tropical storm knocked out power to our house two days ago. Servers were restored last night, except the pump.io server which will be down until our house-sitter has a chance to tell the machine to please do the disk check at boot time... really have to do something about that. -

Sigh. SO ANGRY at the weather in Texas and its effects on the power grid for my house... and my poor servers. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/611631104823545857/photo/1 -

Had a nice run tonight while doing laundry. Being so far north has its advantages - long days. -

My anger is two-fold: first, as you note, the DOCX thing; second, however, is that Google Docs provides an equation editor that (a) doesn't export correctly to DOCX and Microsoft's Equation format, nor to the the OpenDocument Equation format! What's the point? -

That moment when you hate that your group writes its proposals in DOCX. -

That moment when you realize that all the equations you just typed up in 3 pages of a Google doc WON'T export to DOCX. -

Random Sunday Morning St. Genis: walk past a building that is home to a small recording studio, and hear beautiful keyboard playing wafting from the window. -
