an aside…

So, one of the days I was in KL, laineyd.com hit a new record for highest number of hits in a single day, beating the previous record on July 22 (I remember the date only because it’s Don Henley’s birthday and who can forget that? It’s like how my anniversary is the same as Bastille [...]

Classifieds…

Free to good home, one MacBook. Answers to the name of “White Dog.” (No, not really, but I am writing this post in a valiant effort to not punt White Dog across the room. What is SO HARD about trying to change my desktop photo back to my picture of Blanche with my older nephew????) [...]

White Dog’s new hookup…

and boy, is Scooby ever pissed! So yeah, I went to Best Buy at lunch and bought a new plug in thingie. Oh, sweet relief. I’m up to a 27% charge and I haven’t been so happy all day. Ack. In other, scarier, news, WordPress has just informed me that WordPress 2.6 is now available. [...]

Can I tell you something, internet?

I love my Mac. I love that I can have two documents open at the same time and can scroll through either one, even the non-”dominant” one. Love it. I love that my mouse was a pain in the ass and all it took was 20 minutes at the Genius Bar for me to walk [...]

and now I loooove White Dog…

Ha ha HA Steve Jobs! I figured out a way around your nefarious plan to keep me from opening my MS Publisher files. Ha! (I installed Publisher on the Boy’s old laptop, converted the files to MS Word rich text files and saved them on our server. And then on the Mac I converted them [...]

Update, April 2007

I wonder if I can make a post that references all of my categories… 1) Baby dreaming – Still not pregnant (or trying, of course) 2) Certifiable, undeniable – In therapy, getting quite a bit out of it. Sometimes I take my Wellbutrin, sometimes I don’t. I attribute being able to go to bed at [...]

Geek Looove…

It’s a weekend with the boy. It is 7:30 AM and we are all up. (I should make some breakfast for us all…I wonder if we have any sweet rolls…) Anyway!! Gene and the boy are sitting at our dining room table discussing the difference between storage and memory in terms of computers. It is [...]

Nerds Ahoy!

(Can you BELIEVE I haven’t used that as a post title yet?) Anyway, the geeks are here. I guess they’re back to hexing me on an every-Saturday basis. Woohoo!
