Think I've acquired a bit of a cough
Oct. 26th, 2007 08:09 pmIt started this morning with a bit of a sore throat. Right now, it's sneezing and a cough.
A damned shame, but I think my folks' cold's finally reached me. Fortunately, it's arrived one week too late for me to spread it to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
naaila, who's in London now. If Naaila gets a cold, and by the grace of God I hope she does not, it won't be through me.
I've become very busy writing stuff, mainly work on The Fourth Rewrite and my SF Traveller homage RPG, OT:OYO. Accordingly, I'm going to have to look up certain kinds of research and resources online and off, to familiarise myself with an aspect of my life with which I'm not exactly familiar.
Such is the life of the dedicated amateur hobby writer. :)
In other news, the library situation is still full of the fail, and ought to continue to be so for another good few days, sadly. :( The staff are all exasperated. I just wish I could give them all a hug because they're doing an incredible job with the limited resources they've got.
There are going to be a number of major organisational changes to public IT provision in the library when it does come back on again, though. For one thing, 17 computers upstairs and 17 doenstairs. That'll make the alcove a lot less crowded.
There ought to be a few more scanners, but they never considered that during the budget round, sadly. Ah, well. Maybe next year.
Anyway, like I said, they make the best of rubbish resources. It's not their fault that the Internet now provides more knowledge than they've got in their entire corpus of paper texts ...
