Waiting to be killed.

 

I have to watch thumb wars again. Anyway, work has been done, allow me to write about it.

 

Yesterday the big one was the three at the end of the day, which I managed to take care of. Did writing, of course. More today, a half hour here with a guy who comes over every once in awhile, that went well. Then over to see Boris, who managed to add a blank page after 90% of his 178 pages of text, so I had to go reprint them all without the extra pages. Also set up his netbook. "Oh, it's half the cost of an iPad." Really? It's also half the machine the iPad is. A 1.2Ghz Atom processor with only 1GB of RAM trying to run Win7? Uh, no? That took forever. It wouldn't have been so bad if it had an SSD, but it didn't. Lame.

 

Then my last one with the cutest little girl, somehow she had told her firewall to block all traffic and then was amazed to find it had done as she asked! I'm sure it was an accident actually, I've not seen firewalls as part of anti-virus programs for quite some time. Windows has one, oh look your router has one, how many more do you need?

 

Book is going well. 66,445 words. Dean and the others are in the demon world, learning about what he has to do to get his parents back. Probably 5 more chapters? Hard to say, but I'm pleased. My first book, written very, very, very long ago now it seems, was only 46,545 words as I look at it right now. Wow, at least 13 years ago, probably more. This will (be as long as) a real book, maybe! Will it ever be a real book? You so funny.

 

Two for tomorrow, one canceled, and I have one for Saturday, plus the one I won't do tomorrow. Sean's saturday, at least I think, after the initial mail, nada. Grandma tomorrow, of course. Bet you ten bucks the theme will include "how mean they are to me" "the food is terrible" & "what day is it". 

 

Have a good weekend everyone.

 

After all:
