Mac-to-Windows Mobile sucks

danceswithgaryI have officially spent too much time being pissed off about people using not-so-smart quotes and auto-replacing with special characters, inconsistent character encoding across websites, and the difficulty of transferring simple text files from my Mac to my PDA.
I'm going to ignore the hundreds of files I've saved over the past two months that I now have to open and re-save with the 'correct' encoding for my PDA and attempt to finish the two challenge fics due by the 10th. My writers block is bad enough without my usual obsessive need to solve software problems. *rolls eyes at self*
In other news, I'm alive - if not exceeding well - and the puppies are doing wonderfully in obedience class. The need to take them for daily walks in the park to reinforce their lessons and their socialization is good because that means I get off my ever-expanding ass and move my aching body very slowly for an hour every day. My 10-year-old niece arrives this weekend from NC to stay for two weeks, which should prove a nice distraction (and means I really need to finish the stories NOW).
