I've joined LinkedIn despite my previous whining about it. I still don't like it, but I am researching and need it.

So, I've signed up for Orkut. I am orkutted, or something. It remains to be seen whether it leads me to any revelations about what I've been missing with the social networks thing, though. I'm already seeing rough edges in what is, admittedly, a self-declared beta-quality product, but hey. Early days yet.

And cookies. Made my third batch of Paula's DSP cookies (without active ingredients, thank you very much) which turned out less carbonised but also not really crunchy enough. I still need to futz with the baking details properly.
