We just got through with a bad thunderstorm and it’s just raining heavy now.
My big project for today is to tear my old computer down farther and find the battery. After replacing it I’ll see if Drive C is recognized again. Hope so ;).
I had my own drive woes yesterday on my old desktop machine which I use as a print server and photo scanner. But the weird thing was that it wasn’t the main drive but the backup drive which only gets used for storage and is hardly ever accessed. So now I have no backups of that system or of all the software I’ve downloaded π but the system is still running π and it isn’t my main system π
I’m glad it wasn’t your main system. I had to go out and get a new computer. If I ever get my old one going, I want to hook up the two systems, but I had no idea of what I was going do with both. When or if I get it started, you just gave me the answer. Thanks Andi.
Hi katiebird – Yes I have. Up early and gone through a pot already. I think at eat 4 today that’s one thing I might put in is about cutting back on coffee. I would hate to think of going cold turkey on coffee. Headaches and all.
Thanks katiebird. Just got back and this last cup of coffee I’m putting down and I’m going to go get some water. The cup keeps looking at me saying “You really do want to finsh me”, but I’ll hold firm. Turn eyes away – can’t look.
There are children in Appalachia who do not have any coffee. What would they say to see you pouring it down the sink. Drink with one hand, commit nerdhood with the other.
Family Man. kbird forgive me for falsely accusing you of disregarding the coffee-less plight of Appalachian children.
It is BooMan’s fault. I do not love Scoop. There is not a way to increase the font size of the recent comments page, only the preferences page, and maybe the front page, or maybe all the pages except of course for people with fine museum quality computers powered by energy efficient and environmentally safe ergonomic drunken squirrels tied to a stick.
at least not for me.
and the screen magnifier things are bogus. They make it so you can’t even tell if it is letters.
I am in a very complaining mood today. I should look on the bright side. If I am not sure what or to whom I am replying, it should make my comments more surprising and interesting for people.
That’s the entire reason I drink coffee. The taste is OK, but it’s the caffeine. Like people who say they drink alcohol for the taste of the beverage. Hell I used to drink for the effects – not taste. Same with coffee. Oh well, one vice at a time.
Each branch gets to choose their own theme and makes the pages for their month. So, I just compile what they give me. I’m not much for the kissy-face stuff either (even though my parent’s got married on Valentine’s Day, I don’t think they cared about it one way or another either).
I’m just impressed that they manage to put together about that many pages each month of children’s activities and booklists & reviews — which they write themselves.
that they can’t seem to realize how awful that web page is. And this is a library designed by I.M. Pei with a Henry Moore sculpture out front — you’d think they’d be even more aware of the importance of good design.
Good Morning everyone. I am up and trying to get myself awake for work. As usual it is the same old routine. The cats led me in a trail of tails pointing the way to the food bowls. I did stop off at the bathroom and was hovered over by the hungry critters and was made feel uncomfrotable for even stopping off at that very important room first…:o) How can the animals do such for humans??? Anyhow thay have now eaten and are back to their purches for a nap.
I woke to a rainy day here in TN. It is not that cold either. I guess we will be overrun by bugs this summer!…:o(
Cspan has a young american who is republican from the national review on and he is just crazy. This is the future leader of the rep. party! There are somedays I can hardly stand it to watch cspan. The rebuttal is from a young man from the new republic. All he can do is repeat the dlc mantra..I get so sick of this kind of stuff.
Anyhow, I have to get ready for work. Have a great day, everyone. Stay well and safe,,,hugs
Have been since Monday, nothing to worry about…..just growing pains going through this stuff as a military spouse and the release of a new video game. Sometimes I wish I could just quit and let somebody else worry about this shit and hope that someone else succeeds in finding some way to fight this regime. That really isn’t an option though when someone you love dearly is involved up to their neck whether they like it or not. Add a couple of friends in there and I once again don’t truly have an option and be able to live with myself in honesty up to my past standards of living with self. I do get a dry snorting giggle though listening to idiots debate Cindy Sheehans motives or whether or not they feel that what she does is respectful or decent or blah blah blah. It isn’t a choice when it comes to your child if you became a parent 100% because you meant to be a parent – we owe nothing to anybody else greater than what we owe the child we brought into this world. God I find these people so obnoxious today! Make lots of babies, make tons of babies, and then sacrifice them to the God of the Government of the moment! Lay them across that alter and insert the dagger yourself right between the ribs and push very hard…..then regret that they had but one life to sacrifice to somebody else’s idea of what is wrong and what is right, and who deserves to be rich and who deserves to be poor, and who gets to live and who gets to die, and whose lives we should honor on the anniversary of their murder by terrorists every year and who is just collateral damage and need not ever be mentioned at all!
Hey kb, I didn’t want you to wake up to the messy ole cafe so I thought I’d roll a coffee cart over to your place.
Wow! I’ve never had such service. Like Room Service to my house!
Good Morning, Andi!
Hello?
Sorry I was doing email to boran2 and DJ to explain how being a froggybottom worked and lost track of the time.
Well snap out of it! You’d think the future of the Cafe depended on you, or something!
π
Yes, I’m lucky there are two of me.
How many days till retirement?
A little over two years. Or forever. Whichever comes first. Do you think Eat4Today will be a fulltime job by then?
Don’t do years, do days. Tick off each day and see how you keep getting closer (Just NNNN Days To Go).
If it isn’t, you’ll at the very least have plenty of experience to put in a portfolio for opening your own web services business.
Luckily I really like my job. I get to clean up the formatting on pages like these, which our children’s staff do every month.
Nice page (translation: kissy face stuff is icky).
I guess the next comment ought to be at the left edge as it would be pretty embarrassing if just two people in a cafe busted the margins.

My other machine is a laptop so not only am I off-loading processing onto my old desktop but I’m making it much simpler to take laptop off the net.
Also, if you do this, I use remote pc software so I can do stuff on the desktop system from the laptop.
My new one is a laptop, so that sounds the way to go.
Hi Family Man!
Have you had coffee? Andi makes a great cup!
Hi katiebird – Yes I have. Up early and gone through a pot already. I think at eat 4 today that’s one thing I might put in is about cutting back on coffee. I would hate to think of going cold turkey on coffee. Headaches and all.
And Just 4 You — A link! Hot off the press!
Thanks katiebird. Just got back and this last cup of coffee I’m putting down and I’m going to go get some water. The cup keeps looking at me saying “You really do want to finsh me”, but I’ll hold firm. Turn eyes away – can’t look.
You could just pour it down the sink. You’re not a garbage can. Don’t worry about wasting in.
There are children in Appalachia who do not have any coffee. What would they say to see you pouring it down the sink. Drink with one hand, commit nerdhood with the other.
DTF even if I had tried to finish it I would have spewed it all over the screen LOL.
Family Man. kbird forgive me for falsely accusing you of disregarding the coffee-less plight of Appalachian children.

Have you gone to your browser menu and tried this?

Do that multiple times until you can read your screen. It should work on everything on the display.
at least not for me.

We’ve actually got some early morning conversation going at Eat4Today. That’s so fun! Usually I’m at work before we get visitors there.
Hate to say it, but I’m out of here. Got to get the day started.
See ya later

It won’t be that difficult today becasue I’ve already gone through a pot. Tomorrow, will be the day. So, I’ll start cutting back gradually.
If you are worried about caffeine, just cut back on that. I make my coffee with 3:1 decaf-to-caf ratio.
That’s the entire reason I drink coffee. The taste is OK, but it’s the caffeine. Like people who say they drink alcohol for the taste of the beverage. Hell I used to drink for the effects – not taste. Same with coffee. Oh well, one vice at a time.

Want to see the ugliest, worst-designed library home page ever?
Wow! For a site with so much to offer, they’ve done an incredible job of driving people away.
that they can’t seem to realize how awful that web page is. And this is a library designed by I.M. Pei with a Henry Moore sculpture out front — you’d think they’d be even more aware of the importance of good design.
Information/color overload.
And the week is flying by. Is there something you meant to do this week but haven’t? Maybe Just 4 Today, you could do it?
Would it help to tell someone about it at Eat4Today?
Good Morning everyone. I am up and trying to get myself awake for work. As usual it is the same old routine. The cats led me in a trail of tails pointing the way to the food bowls. I did stop off at the bathroom and was hovered over by the hungry critters and was made feel uncomfrotable for even stopping off at that very important room first…:o) How can the animals do such for humans??? Anyhow thay have now eaten and are back to their purches for a nap.

Oh Brenda, don’t watch that stuff first thing in the morning — it can’t be good for your head, your heart or your digestive system.

Sometimes I wish I could just quit and let somebody else worry about this shit and hope that someone else succeeds in finding some way to fight this regime.
