The Monkey

Quad 12L Actives.

Where to, Ric?

Yeah, not exactly promising.

It's a trackpad, but he's actually getting the hang of it. Amazing how quickly they learn this stuff. My dad still hasn't mastered the mouse. The real problem here is that the laptop is a total piece of junk, which is great because he can't break it, but it takes forever to boot up (when it does boot because the power button is hosed). Maybe a netbook is in order.

Yeah, the mouse coordination is the hardest part for him. And ideally I would get him an iPad. But maybe grandpa and grandma will come through. The PBS kids, etc. suggestions are great, thanks. I'll also take Resksy's advice and have the Boy try to blow up the moon.

I'm giving my old Dell Laptop to the Little Monkey, so I'd like to kiddy-fi it as much as possible. Any suggestions for games, applications, etc. to make it more user-friendly for him? (He's 4.) It's running Windows XP. It's a beater.

Sounds a little vague at this point from the newsletter:

I had 2 Old Speckled Hens and fell asleep on the couch.

Al has been kind enough to let me borrow his and I'm feeling much the same. I want to like them, but there's just something missing. i would like to have heard them out of the Luxman.

Offer submitted.

That's what I was thinking. Basically twist the strands together real tight, tin them, push it through.

Interesting, thanks. Also, from their customer support:

What's the worst that could happen? Dunno...Al found it for me.

bidet/sink, same difference.

That's the bidet right?

Ah, excellent. Will try. I'm looking forward to getting the Ketel One the hell outta here.

There appear to be 2 different iTeleport apps for the iPad. One is just iTeleport, the other is iTeleport Jaadu VNC. The latter appears to be universal binary and is the same price as the former, but was updated April 30 as opposed to May 3. Both the same price. WTF?

This (the 2009): This (never tried it): This (but Batch 4, which is the BourRye--love it): This for the missus: And this for the Manahattans: Batten down the hatches!

Is there an app for that?

There is really nothing much one can do to get rid of a gotdam tension headache.

Jesus. Lane Mart has one more, but I worry that they could be Shelly's returned pair.

Nonsense. Your iPad is indeed possessed. That's what made me drink from the glass our check came in.

I'm having a hard time deciding whether I should pull the trigger on some Quads. (dew et, I know.)

Today will be a mess. I'm even more worried about Monday. But every time I predict disaster, the markets shoot up, so I'm kind of like a reverse savant.
