August 6, 201312 yr Good luck and have fun, CJ! I'm enjoying a day off from work and music, and will celebrate by fixing some fences so the cattle stop escaping. Then, tomorrow I've got a dress rehearsal for the White Album tribute concert that one of my bands has been working on since the fall. We're doing three performances this coming weekend. I'm mostly playing drums and percussion, but singing lead on the Ringo songs as well. I'm really looking forward to it, and looking forward to having some time off afterwards.
August 6, 201312 yr Quite eclectic, Iain! Good luck on all accounts. And echo the good lucks to CJ as well Edited August 6, 201312 yr by skullguise
August 7, 201312 yr I've been told I have a good "Ringo voice". I'm not sure if it's a compliment or not...
August 7, 201312 yr Better than if they said you had a good Tiny Tim voice. No problem singing like Ringo. Drumming like Ringo is another thing ...
August 7, 201312 yr I got my new NAS up and running and attached my old Seagate Go Flex external hard drive to the NAS to transfer files over. I come back half a hour later to find my Seagate drive emitting a continuous droning sound with no files transferred over and invisible on the NAS. Eeks. I tried booting the external drive up while connected to my computer. I can hear the disks spinning up and what sounds like the the actuator making a few repeated and consistent activation(?) sounds, before the drive then automatically turning off. (This sequence occurs within a span of a few seconds.) The exact sequence occurs when I tried taking the hard drive out of the enclosure and connecting it directly to my desktop's mobo. Now I have to figure out what I can do. Edited August 7, 201312 yr by Nanoha
August 7, 201312 yr I haven't checked this thread in a while... Wow! Rude Wolf - a journalism job where holding your liquor is a BFOQ! You have no idea how nostalgic that makes me. That one's a keeper. Ride that pony as far as it goes. Double congrats! Mike - Gumby is clearly full of win. Our cats are jealous of that cardboard box. Although they might not want to be mailed in it )
August 7, 201312 yr freezer Unfortunately the high humidity in my environment makes me extremely uncomfortable about the potential condensation. I don't think I have a convenient way of making the bag airtight either. I think I might have to give up on the data in the drive for the foreseeable future. This is what my drive sounds like: While looking around on YouTube, I came across this: Heh. Edited August 7, 201312 yr by Nanoha
August 8, 201312 yr Installed 120GB SSD and another 500GB HDD (I had sitting around the house when the Lacie enclosure died ) inside the Mac Pro at work. Now I has 3 harddrives in the machine. Can't wait to boot up on the SSD.
August 9, 201312 yr Inflamed gum, migrating molar and cavity under a crown. Had the old crown removed this a.m and tooth prepped for the new one. I think my brain finally thawed about an hour ago. Amazing how Famous Grouse eases the discomfort and makes it so I no longer hurt like hell when I smile
August 9, 201312 yr Drink more, smile less. I hope you feel better quickly Al! Words of wisdom there. I'm fine today. Normally I eschew novocaine but I knew this one was going to be bad. Don't like the "fat" lip, "stone" face and "frozen" brain that results. Glad I had it yesterday, and they had to reapply twice.
August 9, 201312 yr Good to hear, Al. Your description made me chuckle, every time I think of novacaine I think of the Bill Cosby routine.....
August 10, 201312 yr Paid off my mortgage. Four little words can mean so much. Hope you and Bonnie are having a big celebration!
August 10, 201312 yr Paid off my mortgage. Awesome! Congrat! I actually did that once myself. Then got divorced, gave her the house and back to mortgageville. And I don't regret one bit of it.
