You know green? Like cash? Johnny Cash? Cash Dollar? Snoop Dogg? Wait, not that last one. Because I had actual work today! Like, a whole pile of it or something. A preverbal pile of it.
Firstly I had Mr. "Hangs Randomly". When I arrived I was even informed it was hung then. It was not. I did the usual stuff, it wasn't dusty, so I'm not sure if they are just having hallucinations or what. I then went early to my 12:00 and took care of her fan issue. That house needs a fan. Hate that place, very odd smell pervades the area.
Came home for some lunch. Read some dinosaur comics. Basically it's the same panels every comic, with just different dialog. It's very funny at times. I also tried a couple people back. Worked a bit more on the character creator.
Left for my 4:00, which unlike the last "no display" machine where the machine was dead, it was in truth the monitor this time. They had a small TV in the room which had a VGA port, so I just plugged it in there and that was that. Came back home.
Dinner. Worked more on the creator. Got the armor section done, so all that's left is the skills page (big one) and the showing of the results / saving of the results. (big). Then debugging, as if something I wrote would need that. HA!
At about 7:50 I got a call from Sam, that he was back and I could come pick up his machine to put the HD in that I ordered for him. Knowing I would be going by there tomorrow anyway, (it's down the street from mom/dad) I offered to come right then and pick it up. (Also I needed the work! HA) So I did that. Got back about 8:15, got to work on that, it's just finishing up the 71 software updates for XP that give it the greatest illusion of security. HA! So that can go back tomorrow. The one guy with the dead machine got a new one, so I'm going there in the morning to give him his dead thing if he wants it, and set up the new one, and give him his stuff from the old one. Then give this one back I'm working on now, then over to Santa Drive (yes, this exists) and then to Grandma's. Then Mom's and then home. So a pretty normal Friday I guess. Two on deck for Saturday, plus Sean's at the end. Did Neil die, we haven't done any Borderlands at all this week, and now it's fantasy game even though we're about to get stomped on by a dragon in the world hoppers? Hum.
Bit of excitement last night, Squeaker cornered a chipmunk over by the front door, but I managed to trap him and get him outside without harm. If only we could do something about the hole that's letting them get in. *HINT* *HINT*
Pretty quiet tonight, I'm done with stuff so I think I'm going back to reading dinosaur comics! The URL is so easy to remember!
