+0. Picking up more boxes for the move from
spazzkat at 3pm. Loads of packing; blah. We're getting rid of a lot of stuff, too - things we haven't touched in forever.
annathepiper's old Amiga is part of it, as is a bunch of Amiga software - shout if you want any of it. Otherwise, we'll do the eBay thing, because that means it'll end up with someone who wants it enough to pay shipping. ^_^
1: Also, a collection of motley DEC hardware, mostly MicroVAX I/II. There should be enough here to get one of them running - in fact, one should be fine. We've even got a TK50 tape drive and maintenance/install tape. Anyone? Anyone? Please?
2: No? How about a NEC MultiSpeed laptop, circa 1986, in perfect working order except for the battery, which no longer holds a charge. Includes DOS 3.2 diskette, case, power supply. FEEL the no-backlight monochrome CGA-emulating power!
I think we're going to be doing a lot of eBay. :-p
+3: Went to see
kathrynt and the rest of the Seattle Symphony Chorale - and oh yeah, the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, as well - do the Lord of the Rings Symphony. The first two movements had a lot of drag in them, honestly; the third through sixth were better, tho' I thought the sixth was actually a little short. Seeing Kathryn up there was pretty cool. ^_^ I liked what the Chorale was doing - and the soloists were outstanding - but had an oddly difficult time connecting to the orchestra. Still, it was fun.
+4: Bought a cute magnetic-bead bracelet/necklace jewelery chain before the show, at a little store in the same building as the hall. It's neat, because it can be essentially any size you want it to be, up to one huge loop, and the magnets just snap together at each point to make it work. There's no clasp, of course. It's fun to play with, in addition to being pretty attractive. The only problem is that it can't get too near the credit cards. :-p
Hm. More later. Packing now.
