Well, this is gonna be fun.  I'm typing this with one hand in a splint.  I'm so used to touch typing, it's slowing me down having to look at the keys all the time.  But like Chris frequently says, life goes on ( Read more... )

Well, it's over.  My vacation's history...As usual, I'm behind in conveying what's been going on, so here's what I did on my 2nd week of vacation ( Read more... )

Well, my first week of vacation is past.  Sure went fast, but then it always does.  I'm afraid I didn't get much--OK, anything--done inside like I promised I would.  It's not that I don't want to get it done, but it's just damn hard to get motivated to tackle the task.  And it's too easy to be distracted by other, more fun, things to do.  That's ( Read more... )

YEEEEESSSSS!!!!
It's finally here. Vacation time. For the next 14 days I'm free of that armpit of a job. OK, it's not quite that bad, but you know what I mean. And you know what I'm gonna do with that 14 days? Well, I'd like to say, "as little as possible", but the sad truth is I need to get started working on the ol' homestead. The only ( Read more... )

I actually had a full weekend of fun things to do.  Saturday, I met a guy who was buying some CD's from me and he invited me to join him at a LUG (Linux Users Group) meeting.  Cool!  Nothing like sitting around with a bunch of geeks with laptops talking about Linux, sci-fi and stuff.  I expected a somewhat formal--or at least organized--affair, but ( Read more... )

Thaaaat's right all you lucky people.  I finally got stuff to type about.  Course, since I'm doing this from work, I'll probably get interrupted with trivial junk like...well, work.  This is why I wish there was a way to save drafts of your entries until your satisfied with the results.  Aaaaaanyway, on to The Stuff ( Read more... )

Hey.

Here it is, Saturday night and once again I'm here on the 'puter hanging out in #dementia with the usual cast of idiots :)  Actually, I spend more time with these folks than my real friends.  Course my Net friends are easier to connect with.  I still find it odd that after living here in the same house for almost 30 years I have no local ( Read more... )

The big news of the day?   THE SUN IS OUT!  We had a little sun yesterday, but it was so intermitent that it doesn't count.  But today I woke up to blue skies, white puffy clouds and lots of warm sunshine.  Those who live in the area can appreciate my enthusiasim.  According to WJR radio, we've had measureable rain for the past 7 days, over three ( Read more... )

Well, here it is, Saturday, and I'm at work.  What's wrong with that picture?  Oh yeah...I'M AT WORK!  On the up side, it's slow, which gives me time to kick back, munch some cashews (my fav nut), DL some eps of Computer Chronicles and update my LJ ( Read more... )
