I May Have A Contract
It's not a sure thing yet but the client sounded quite enthusiastic about me.
They're my usual sort of client, they have some windows products and they want them to work on the mac.
Google "mac os x device drivers". When I try my company is the eighth hit.
The great SEO is due to the "Tips" articles I provide. Link Popularity "flows through" from linked page to linked page. Those articles are very popular.
I'm under NDA so I can't say much about it. They're a hardware vendor. They have three projects for me so I could be working for them for several months.
New Happy Pills
I told my doctor that the imipramine that I've been taking for depression is not working as well as I expected it to. I told him I was bored all the time, that I knew plenty of things that would relieve the boredom but that I didn't want to do any of them.
He told me to discontinue the imipramine and put me on Latuda. This is a new medication that is said to work especially well for Manic-Depressives.
I've been taking the Latuda for a few days, but I know very well that all antidepressants require a long time to take effect.
However the other night I did some drawing. I'm quite good when I'm in practice but have not been in practice. I could see that I drew better than the last few times I tried.
More importanly I found myself absorbed into the work. Not bored at all not noticing the passage of time, it was a good experience.
Megyn Kelly interviews Trump supporter
Megyn Kelly interviewed Carl Higbie of the Great America Political Action Committee, who spoke of a registry of Muslim travellers who "are not protected under our Constitution." Kelly raised the concern that "some aggressive law enforcement actor in the future might abuse that list." Such a registry is not mentioned on Trump's immigration policy page (Tor-friendly link). A Dutch registry for Jews was discussed recently on SoylentNews.

My depression will end someday. It always does.
I have Bipolar-Type Schizoaffective Disorder. That's much like being manic-depressive and schizophrenic at the same time. For a little less than a year I've been beset with depression.
I asked my witch doctor to prescribe imipramine, which has worked well for my depression before, but it is not working as well as I hoped. While I don't feel sadness or despair, I am bored all the time yet cannot bring myself to do anything to relieve the boredom.
There are plenty of things I could do, I am well aware of them but I cannot get motivated to actually do any of them.
I was working on my own software product. It's "mostly done" with lots of little things left to do. I cannot bring myself to work on it.
But manic-depressives have a cycle. Bipolar mania is like being high on laughing gas. It doesn't make sense to me just now that I could ever be like that, yet I know from experince that I have been.
I take Trileptal to prevent the mania. It's worked so far but I've only taken it a little over a year. It doesn't really work to take it just when the mania is coming on, because the early incidence of mania is quite subtle.
I'm going to ask my doctor to change my antidepressant, either to increase the dose or give me a different one. There have been plenty of times that I've been far worse than this, yet antidepressants got me back to normal.
If the new medicine works I am confident I can finish my product.
Canada's immigration Web site is crashing.
Canada's main immigration web site, www.cic.gc.ca, has been crashing, according to The Globe and Mail and USA Today. The latter published an article called "How to move to Canada" after the problems began to manifest themselves. When I tried to connect, I received the message:

Oculus VR vs ZeniMax
Oculus VR made "factually inaccurate" statements in ZeniMax lawsuit, forensic analyst says
A recently-granted motion in the lawsuit between ZeniMax Media and Oculus VR suggests that the case could be about to get very interesting, and not in a way that's good for Oculus. The motion to "permit disclosure of any 'demonstrably inaccurate' representations made to court," as reported by Polygon, indicates that an independent expert investigating the case found sworn statements that are "factually incorrect," and that "critical log files" on one of John Carmack's hard drives were deleted prior to its collection as evidence.
I'm too lazy to give this one the research needed to produce a coherent submission, since I haven't been following the case.

President Obama ridiculed on Snapchat by daughter Sasha
The president also mentioned that his own iPhone was limited to receiving emails and browsing the internet, and would not take photos, play music or make calls. "My rule has been throughout my presidency, that I assume that someday, some time, somebody will read this email," he said. "So, I don't send any email that at some point won't be on the front page of the newspapers."

Depressive Hypersomnia
I've been taking imipramine - an antidepressant - since December. I don't feel depressed anymore, but I sleep excessively. I had some plans for yesterday but instead I slept all day then late into the night.
The only way for me to be up in the morning is to stay up all night.
Once I've been up for a while I don't feel sleepy, I feel just fine. But when I do sleep it's often for twenty hours or more.
My witch doctor prescribed Welbutrin with the aim that it would make me sleep less. It has had a very modest effect, but not enough. He seemed surprised at this, and clearly didn't know what to do about it.
I do know that this won't last. I don't know how long I'll be sleeping like this, but eventually the other phase of my manic-depressive cycle will kick in, and you'll have to peel me off the ceiling with a spatula.
