Okay, that's better.
Jun. 11th, 2005 01:53 pmI got down to the service centre and picked up my laptop; they think they've fixed the hard drive with some low-level tinkering with utilities I don't have. So far, it's behaving great, so hopefully, they're right! $100 instead of $350 is a trade I can make.
Then I went to murksouth and use HAMMER and ANVIL and BENCH-CLAMP and STEEL to make a better locking system for the carriage-house doors. And it worked! So now there are no accessible parts for anybody to take apart without, say, doing it the old way with a very, very large hammer. Also for good measure, I brought up a bunch more strapping material for securing some of our still-unsecured shelves - most of them are tied down for earthquakes, but a few aren't - and a small selection of other random toys.
Tonight: MONKEYBALL! This was after last night's poker, wherein I rallied at the end to finish up about 40% from start.
But more importantly, after some futzing, I think I have a trick that makes my camera work most of the time. Better than that,
spazzkat has brought me his camera as a loaner for the moment! This means: return of flower pictures for all! Since they've been gone for a while, here's a set of three of the same kind of flower. Three! Three! White! Flowers! Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Or something.
