Ask him if his refrigerator is running.
Yeah, I’ll get that right to you…
**Blackie **- I’ll make an effort not to read the mouse thread. Thanks!
And on that note, I’m gonna crash in front of Netflix for a bit.
Thanks, Mom. You’re the best!
TL;DR. Spent the morning defragging and cleaning my hard drive. But everything runs so much more smoothly now.
Semester end looms, and I’m drowning in end-of-semester projects! Send pizza and chocolate!
Thanks for the warning. I think I’ll stay out of that thread.
Two of my favourite foods.

How so? They are the single PC component that has gone down in price.

I said **good **keyboard… I’ve tried and hurled across the room cheap keyboards like the ones that come with a new computer or pretty much anything sold at an office supply store.
Seeing as I live or die by the keyboard, I got a “mechanical” one with Cherry MX Blue switches. The Cherry switches (and they come in several types) are popular with two very different populations - gamers and coders/writers. The hard part is sorting out the gamer “fluff” like multi-color backlights or different colors for the “WASD” pad. I went cheap at $90, and the next-cheapest option is $140 for the semi-famous Das Keyboard, known for its intimidating lack of any marks on the keytops, which requires the user to be an exceptional touch-typist.
I think the auditors would have a collective heart attack if they knew I was creating system passwords without being able to see what I was typing.
That is my fault. I sincerely apologize.

Call him on his un-birthday; he’s got 364 of those.
pipe down. If the old bag falls for the birthday scam, we’ll have his number. there is the nigerian banking scam, the whiskipalian orphan donation scam…this is going to be great.
The ‘old bag’ is nice, dammit!
“this is going to be great” -Yup, I’ll get to sit back & watch as someone else slings sharks at you!
I got my package in the mail! And they actually did ring the doorbell, but maybe because I had to pay customs fees or some sort of fees. Oh well, at least it finally arrived.
Howdy from the cave! I have a temporary fix until my new modem arrives. JDD lent me an old modem of his. I can’t get the wireless to connect, but that’s ok. The reason he no longer uses it is for the same reason. Anywho, I can use the desktop so I’m good with that until I get my new one. YAY! I can haz teh intartoobz at da cave!
Oh joy. Oh rapture. Oh hell.
My work PC finally rose to the top of the “Give them IE 11” list. After five reboots, not sure I actually like it.
And yes, avoid the mouse catching thread. :eek:
gotti you and I have more to worry about than catchin’ meeses. We’ve been sued!
It is simply too hot for May.
I don’t feel like doing anything. I saw somebody out walking and they looked like they were melting with each step.
We had sketties for dinner.
Going home tomorrow.
He’s not dead, he is just taking a nap after a swim.
Jeez.
**FCD **still feels awful. He had soup and peaches for supper. I had fish and green beans-n-onions. It’s clouding over - we might get a little rain tonight.
**swampy **- let us know when she serves you with a subpoena or whatever. (What do you suppose she was smoking?)
I guess I’ll need to do some more work outside tomorrow, since I blew it off today. The ditch needs mowing. AGAIN!! Dammit. I hate mowing the ditch. I need a landscaper/mower guy. Yeah, that’s sexist. So what - I can prefer a sweaty guy rather than a sweaty woman working in my yard, so hush!
I may sleep with Mel tonight. We shall see…
sigh
I need to step up my pimp-hand strengthening exercises. There’s slappin’ needs to be done.
Worked. We threw out the evil crazy old man, he was cursing and making threats. Good riddance.
