Another grown-up day. I had an adrenaline rush because something weird started happening in the file I was working on. I was working on my PC which I only use to run the software my client requires. I feel like blind mouse when I am not on my MAC. Anyway, I restarted the thing, and the quirk was gone. Big relief. It called for breaking a taboo and a midday piece of chocolate.

Because I work with a lot of rather arcane (mostly historical information) I use Wikipedia a hundred times a day. A lot of times I find what I am looking for, sometimes I don't, sometimes I find part of what I am looking for. Sometimes the articles look like they could use a helping hand. Today I came across a "stub" that pleaded for adding to it. Since I had the info right there I opened the editing window but then I realized Wiki is a whole new universe with its own language and life-forms and I have no idea how to tinker under the hood.

Since I take so much from it, I feel I should give something back and I would enjoy it too since I deal in arcane information anyway. But I would need to spend a couple of hours familiarizing myself with the language and the geography of the place. And yet, I still have not mastered this Radio Userland thing (my categories are still dangling).

While it is a bit frustrating, the encouraging aspect is that there seems to be a place where I can deposit all the tidbits I have been accumulating. Maybe not right now, and maybe just one pebble at a time, but there is a place where I can be helpful.  3:43:22 PM
