Modernity

Kate Paulk — Sun, 03 Mar 2013 23:43:36 +0000

I have, after much delay, finally entered the modern world of telephony. Yes, I’ve finally retired the antique PDA (dead) and cell phone (dying) in favor of a shiny new smartphone.

Of course, being me, the first thing I did was load Temple Run 2 on it. That game is a very effective way to [...]

Jokes Gone Sour

Kate Paulk — Sun, 03 Mar 2013 00:56:16 +0000

For the longest time I regarded politics with a kind of detached amusement: a joke that didn’t really affect me all that much. Over the last few years it’s become obvious that I can’t do this any more.

You see, once you’d elect your political jokes every few years, laugh at their worst idiocy, and [...]

Next Big Thing

Kate Paulk — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 00:23:38 +0000

So, Chris McMahon tagged me in the ongoing blog chain of the Next Big Thing. Me being itty-bitty writer-thing and currently brain-dead exhausted as well, it’s a good thing I wrote the guts of this last week.

The rules:

1. Give credit to the person/blog that tagged you. Did this 2. Post the rules for [...]

Exhausted

Kate Paulk — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 00:45:17 +0000

The train option is a little better, but I’m totally wiped out. There is nothing left.

I’m now looking to see what other options I”ve got. It’s not looking pretty.

Pray for me. I need it.

Adventures in Transit

Kate Paulk — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 01:24:38 +0000

So, driving to work is 2 hours each way, most of that in glorified parking lot conditions (off-peak it’s a 1 hour trip). So tomorrow I”m trying the train option – which consists of driving to the nearest rail station, catching the train in, and walking from there to work. If I’m going to spend [...]

A new chapter

Kate Paulk — Sun, 02 Dec 2012 21:59:50 +0000

Those of my two or three readers who follow this site know that I was laid off just on 4 weeks ago. Tomorrow, I start the new job – I’m incredibly lucky that I’ve had such a short time between jobs, and I know this.

Still, I’m nervous. The new job seems as close [...]

ConSensual Is Released

Kate Paulk — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 00:34:41 +0000

Yay. It’s available from NRP now and should be available from Amazon, B&N and other locations soon.

In other news, I’m going to try to actually post regularly (you’ve heard that before, yes, I know), but not tonight. After spending way too long today trying to minimize casualties as yet more Klingon software happened (Klingon [...]

ConSensual edits done

Kate Paulk — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 01:47:18 +0000

The first round, anyway. I still need to do the format and typo hunt edit round, but my readers have the updated version in their hot little paws, and snippeting has begun in Sarah’s Diner on Baen’s Bar. I’ll snippet smaller bits here on a slightly different schedule.

Of keyboards and things

Kate Paulk — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 16:04:58 +0000

Yet again life got sufficiently crazy that updating here fell off the radar.

Meanwhile, I’ve just returned from buying a new keyboard – the third time I’ve done this in the last year. Why? I spend a lot of time typing, both at home and at work, and I’m kind of fussy about the tools [...]

Inspection tomorrow

Kate Paulk — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 01:20:27 +0000

Writing continueth albeit in the gaps between everything else. Wordage is currently in the order of 37k, so I’m fairly happy considering how hectic things have been.

Meanwhile the home buying experience rolls on. Called insurance company today about what would be involved in getting home insurance and rolling the car and renters insurance in. [...]
