I'm so over the moon! I've gotten my first review on Just Under the Surface! And it's a positive one, too! 

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.

With tomorrow’s bloodwork, medical issues should slow down. Yay! If I can close down my epistolary fic, that time can be moved toward attacking my dusty original story…

And it looks like the new hard drive is doing the trick, for which I am profoundly grateful!

Just in time for the first round of edits for the republications….

Merry meet, everyone! I'd just like to say that I am happy to be a member of the forums and wish everyone well. 

I’m still checking in every couple days but been a little more busy than my social phobia can take so my online life is suffering. I’ll be back!

I meant “ice skating”, not “ice scatting” in my notes of ideas …. should I dare to think about what ice scatting would entail?  Hmm… sounds dangerous.  Suppose Frosty the snowman could be involved with this.

Okay, the new hard drive is being treated to a clean install of Windows 10, and then I get to reinstall EVERYTHING else so I can move my files over properly.
