  3. And now what did you do TODAY?

    Posted · Edited by skullguise

    I use a bureau to store some of my stereo cables.  One drawer each for IC's, speaker cable, and power cords.

    Cleaned out my speaker cable drawer, as well as consolidated some cables I had in my closet....

    This - plus 2 other sets not in pic - is extra....Jesuit Christmas, I'm a hoarder! 🙄😄

    The above 2 Mark's were indeed tough.  Mark Lanegan, with various folks, did several very good Joy Division covers...makes me wonder if there was his "type" after Ian Curtis committed suicide, would he have been a good frontman for the band....

    Feeling pretty awesome, and hoping I can do more.....

    I got the OK to take an old work laptop, as well as using one of my own.  Wiped disks, refreshed OS (Windows 10 Pro OEM for ~$10!), and donated them via a local "Buy Nothing" FB group.  One went to a woman who has no computer (does have a Smartphone but not always easy to do a lot on the small screen), and goes to the local library for computer work.  Second went to a woman who's husband was just laid off, and they are keeping money tight - don't want to spend anything on even a used laptop right now.  So this will help with his job search.

    I told the work folks who OK'd the one laptop how this turned out, and I'm trying to do more.  We have some laptops that come in and are fully written off and removed from inventory.  I'm now checking with the CIO and our Legal team, to see if I can do more of these refreshes and donations.

    Such a nice thing, I love doing this and hoping it can continue....

  13. What are you listening to Part the Third

    I do this all the time, where someone saying something to me will trigger a song in my head.  Karen and I were joking about something, and she said to me, "Say it ain't so...."  So I repeated it and added "Joe" at the end, and we discussed for a few minutes who sang that song (she didn't even remember it).

    So thank you internetz and youtoob:

    Indeed, stunning how bad it was.  I guess in Syria, too, it had been long enough that many buildings weren't at all resistant to/built to at all handle earthquakes....

    It also made me think of our old friend Ozgur @Sechtdamon....looks like he is further West than the worst of the earthquake, but just wonder how he is doing....

    Stay warm, Nate (and everyone else up here)!  We did fine overnight...Karen turned up the thermostat temp "just in case" and I ended up waking up several times because it was too hot.....ALMOST cracked a window 🙄
