Just two and a half months to SPRING, time for some skinny dipping! 

It is Day 3000 of the nuclear winter, and I am preparing to go and stock up in advance of the coming Bomb Cyclone we are threatened with as of tonight.

At least I have a case of wine on hand.

All right, so sadly it’s not happening at all for me on AFF (I’m not sure why, and I’ve given up wondering), and while I’ll never go back to certain other sites as myself, I’ve had no choice but to post there. it’s either that or lose my motivation entirely. There’s also a chance it might just be one slightly enthusiastic person, but…

I got 45 kudos overnight.

This is encouraging.

Ok… I am editing the next chapter. I’m a little late, I know.

Now let’s hope I don’t read through this and think: Oh, no. *gulps*

A very happy, joyous, and healthy New Year to you all—may 2018 be the best year ever!

It's been 3 years since I'm here but no one cared to follow me. 

Kidding..   I know I'm not a writer. ;p

I have a smart home setup in my bedroom.  As it is the master bedroom, it also doubles as my lab.  Currently, every light fixture in the room is smart, and there is an Invoke for Cortana, a Google Home mini for Google Assistant and an Echo Dot for Alexa.  I use them all, and compare the responses.

In the apps for these Artificial Intelligence (AI) devices, there is an option to group all the smart fixtures based on what room they are in, and to name all the smart fixtures that connect to each other.  With the exception of the Echo Dot, which I have named after a character in Shippuden, all the fixtures have standard names, like bedroom light.  Since they are all connected and managed by a single device, I want them to have names with a common theme.  To that end, I’m taking a page from Bill Gates-era Microsoft, which boasted a number of conference rooms with names that ended with -tion, such as “procrastination”, “motivation”, “synchronization”, etc.  These are just examples, mind you – and boring ones at that.

I want to change the names of the four smart light fixtures in my bedroom to something that uses that theme.  However, I’m short on imagination this evening.  Can you guys suggest some fun/creative/inventive/radical/etc. words that end with -tion?  Thanks.

Well, this a strange burst of creative inspiration...  8 chapters in the equivalent time of approximate eight hours across two days...  After so long of not feeling it, I'd almost forgotten what a rush it could be.

The wife and I have been taking turns being sick since Thanksgiving weekend. I think we’re finally both past it. But at least I managed to make an awesome Christmas dinner (including my first baked Alaska).
