daThis morning, the purchasing guy at work handed me a new ergonomic mouse; which means I can take my other one home again.
This morning I handed off my article on drawing quilt patterns to the editor of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
perl_review. The issue will come out some time in the spring, and since my article is on a colourful topic, it gets the cover. Now I have something else to send dan's mom, who was the reason I started playing with these in the first place.
I also found out that my article for Linux Journal is in the March issue. I won't complain much, because they will be paying me. But about bloody time; this ain't acadamia. I think the author's bio is two times out of date, since I wrote the article about the same time I started my previous job last summer. Because the topic is decidedly non-colourful, (the Perl Debugger), it appears it did not get the cover.
Now I need to be less one-note and write something interesting that has nothing at all to do with a scripting language.

Date: Wednesday, 2 February 2005 02:27 pm (UTC)The problem with regular mice for me is the buttons on the top- my middle fingers don't like repeatedly bending back, and I think the scroll-wheel is what really gets my hand annoyed with me. But I couldn't get myself to not use the scroll wheel, even when I disabled it. :)
The 3M mouse has got three buttons, two controlled by the thumb on the top, and a middle / scroll button on the side controlled by the middle fingers.
