Spent the Weekend Rebuilding Things

Regularily, my stuff gets so melted, I have to wipe and start fresh.

That’s what I did this weekend.

(that should say ’10 oops)

That was a good one, that crash. See my hard-drive in intensive care under the arrow, separated from its casing bottom left?

Above:

– that’s what your laptop hard drive looks like

– that’s an anti-static bag, to protect the drive from electric discharges

– top right photo sums up my luck – that’s 15 minutes into having booted the new machine for the first time.  Looks like the ribbon needs tightening, shows up on the camera too.

That’s better than this alternative though.

Did the same thing to my phone, too.

When was the last time you cleaned yours? Organized your files, delete or update applications, you’d be shocked at how it feels after, how it reacts (like new).

Bottom right – see that?  Allow Facebook to go in and take copies of my Contact list, and then let them send stuff back?  Give Facebook editing power over my Calendar :|.  I hope you don’t do this.

Here’s the old desktop, for those of you who switched to Lion and miss it.

I uploaded it at best quality, click on through.

Some of my tools.

I have a burn in my shoulder from mousing so much, and I got into the zone a couple times during this where I was typing like 75 wpm with 95% accuracy BOOM.

Then I went for ice cream.

 

I Went on URL Shopping Spree

I bought 20!!

I’ve been keeping a list for a few years, and an eye on whom to register with.

I like Hover for several reasons… they’re since 1999, they’re 100% Canadian, and when I call for help someone picks up in downtown Toronto. If you’re lucky, Mike picks up (he looks like this).

Starting at $15/year, privacy included!, and their interface is slick and easy.

 

Kay, ready for what I bought??

I made them into a beautiful Wordle…

There’s more not listed here, but that’s another Wordle for another time.

Full Disclosure – You bet I got a great deal, how else could I get so many? Thanks, Hover!

I've Been So Quiet This Week, Eh

All week I’ve been amazingly productive, but not with stuff worth blogging about. I’ll get you caught up this weekend, kay.

Oh we’re going go test drive some new VWs Saturday, and I have to give back the Lincoln today. First time I’m without a car in…. wait, ever. I’m not going to adapt well to this.

TTYS! Re-apply your sunscreen and have a great Friday.

Sit Up Straighter

I noticed this yesterday, look.

See how my green strap is showing only on the left side?

My dress slides left, because my entire self is crooked. Not being dramatic. Actually am down-playing it.

It’s from being bent over my laptop for years, probably more time than a human should be. This may sound familiar to you.

So here’s our reminder for better posture!

Did you just gain 3 inches in height from sitting up better? I did.

But by the time I hit ‘publish’ on this post, it’ll be back to a ball, hand over my mouth in concentration, so bad.
