Flu Watch, Day 4

I'm not as past it as I thought, but I've definitely been sicker than this. I spent most of my day doing day-job things. Working from home, and without my usual code-slinging intensity, but I'm minimally functional, and that ought to be good enough.

I am fighting some real nausea tonight, but that could be the vicodin, or just a bad supper choice. I also quite ready for bed. I tried to nap this afternoon but was unsuccessful. Fatigue could definitely play a role here.

Throwing in the Facebook towel

I was actually starting to like Facebook. It took a while to get used to, but I started to see the benefit of it.

It has, however, fallen victim to the desire of middle management to stir the pot, to fix something that was never broken. They changed their homepage algorithm to show either, A. information their system decides I'd find interesting, which results in stale and incomplete content; or B. every fucking action taken by every person on my friends list. So, not enough, or a deluge of too much.

What a disappointment. If the madness continues and they don't bend to user pressure to change it back, I'll delete my account there. Anything worth saving is here on LJ anyway.

In case you were wondering what all the hubbub is about, here's a link. And another link.
