No, no, it&#8217;s nothing rude. Geez, get your mind out of the gutter people. Let&#8217;s start again.<\/p>\n<p>Guess what I didn&#8217;t do last night? I didn&#8217;t turn on the heaters. For the first time since last fall. I wanted to see if I could make it through the night without jittery feet from the cold.<\/p>\n<p>And I could. Sort of. It didn&#8217;t get too cold. My feet didn&#8217;t get jittery. But I did wake up in the middle of the night. With hot feet. See, I wear woolly socks. To keep my feet warm. And I guess&#8230; turning off the heat in the  room made my body a bit colder and therefore the feet in the woolly socks felt hotter. That&#8217;s my theory anyway. I had to take off the socks. Now I wonder if I woke up because of the hot feet or if I woke up for some other reason (I have been known to wake up at times during the night, although that has seemingly gotten better recently) and I just felt the hot feet, but they weren&#8217;t the actual cause of the awakening. I don&#8217;t know. I guess I&#8217;ll try sleeping without the heat on and without socks on tonight. And see if that works okay. A little experimentation is in order to find the best way to  sleep. I do miss my old circulation. Damn you diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>Time to reveal my secret projects. Although it&#8217;s really nothing that interesting. Just fun and timewasting for me. I have bought three new domains. Yes, I am practically a domain shark now. Four websites in total. Isn&#8217;t that something? In addition to plume.dk I now also own <a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.is\">plume.is<\/a>. I&#8217;m not going to be doing anything special with it other than silly Facebook status messages like <a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.is\/going\/to\/bed\/\">http:\/\/plume.is\/going\/to\/bed\/<\/a>. Isn&#8217;t that just so clever it makes you want to throw up? I know. I always wanted to have one o the &#8220;big&#8221; plume domains, like plume.com or plume.net. But they are not available of course. So I ran a domain availability check that searched for all plume domains. And plume.is was available. So I figured, why not? I have the cash. Might be a bit of fun. What I really was looking for was an extra domain to do some experimentation and backup, though. And for that I chose <a HREF=\"http:\/\/djaliplume.com\">http:\/\/djaliplume.com<\/a>. Since other people always rudely take the &#8220;plume&#8221; username on all sites around the net, even though I&#8217;m clearly the person who deserves it, yes, I always end up having to settle for &#8220;djaliplume&#8221;. So I figured I&#8217;d snap up that. I&#8217;m planning to perhaps move my plume.dk domain to another webhost, but I&#8217;m very apprehensive about it. So I&#8217;m going to test out some stuff on djaliplume.com. And also eventually probably have a backup of the blog there. So in case you are one of the admittedly few people who would actually care if plume.dk disappeared for a longer period of time due to webhost problems (as it happened last year) then you might want to bookmark djaliplume.com, as it is currently on a different webhost. So if anything were to happen to plume.dk, I could at least use djaliplume.com to let you know that I&#8217;m still alive.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, that&#8217;s all terribly fascinating. The last domain I bought was <a HREF=\"http:\/\/cliffclavin.com\/\">http:\/\/cliffclavin.com\/<\/a>. Hah. I don&#8217;t know why I even ran cliffclavin through the domain checker, but to my surprise it was available, so why not? Seeing as though I&#8217;m a big fan of The Clavin. I&#8217;m not going to be doing more with it than what is there now, and I know even that is somewhat of a dumb waste of time. But it&#8217;s been nice for me to be able to spend some time on new computer-related things. Things that are not related to everything that is going on in my life. Things that make me think of stuff other than  &#8220;I&#8217;m going blind&#8221;. You know? The art of distraction is very important. In life as well as in magic.<\/p>\n<p>I think I am already  getting somewhat tired of the whole Clavin and twitter thing, but hey it&#8217;s been fun. And there&#8217;s still a month&#8217;s time to the next eye operation, so I need something to preoccupy myself with.<\/p>\n<p>So that&#8217;s what that is.<\/p>\n<p>(Alternate entry title: In The Unheat Of The Night)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guess what I did last night?
