Stuffing is stuffed
Stuffing party went pretty well yesterday: the Olympic room is full of books and boxes. No real problem, didn't even run out of boxes, although that was mainly because we brought more reserve boxes than ever before. Many thanks to the stuffers ( Read more... ) -
Pre-stuffing
Day before stuffing party- had to do more prep-work than average, since the storage unit closes earlier on Sundays now. So, the steel carts are wrapped, the tires on the hand trucks are inflated, and the misc tools and between-con supplies at the storage unit have been sorted and put into their 'do not bring to con' containers ( Read more... ) -
Join the minions
Finally back from Tcon. Had a lot of fun. /tcon28/
The three of us (myself, dpawtows, and ypawtows) did a group costume this year. Minions. Minions. Wore the outfits for most of move-in on Friday, and quite a bit of Saturday. Turned out to be a reasonably practical con costume- work clothes, work gloves, and eye protection ( Read more... ) -
In VA, after losing the battle with lint and solving the mystery of the missing sock
We made it to ypawtows's parents place in VA yesterday, and today we took a trip to Montichello that she already talked about a bit.

Don't anger the kitty
Getting out of my aunt's van. Mobbed by her two goldens; tried to distract them by pointing and telling them to chase the cat. Said cat was not amused; she snarled while bearing claws and teeth at me. I am, of course, talking about ypawtows.
I may regret that remark. -

Card check
Well, the video card problem with my primary desktop has finally been taken care of. Got a new card (Nvidia 460) and a new power supply, and jeffreycornish geojlc came over to put them in. Real rat's nest of power cabling in there now, but at least it all seems to work ( Read more... ) -
Computer problems
Well, now the computer is on the blink. Got back from work on Friday, decided to blow off some steam playing City of Heros with Yvonne. About an hour in, the computer locked up. And looks like it was pretty badly damaged- worked on it well into the wee hours and couldn't get it to boot in anything but "safe mode ( Read more... ) -
Lazer lifting
As some of you probably know, overduebill has been doing work with a company that specializes in doing strange stuff with lasers. Last week they went for an odd sort of record- keeping an RC helicopter in the air under laser power. They did it in the small museumm at the north end of Paine Field; Daniel and I stopped by after work to look the place over. ( Read more... )
