Will Work for Pie

Younger son has been oh so patient and supportive during two rebuilds of the operating system on my new netbook that I thought he deserved pie. I love it that the triple berry filling actually pushed the top crust up and off the bottom one. If there is a next time on the rebuild front--which I desperately hope there isn't--I may actually be able to do it myself. And make pie. There should always be pie.

The Newest Member of the Cyber Family

She has yet to be named, and she has yet to see her promised sticker. Heck, she has yet to be opened, but she is here, a day early even. While there is no reason to suspect that Pinky, my Acer netbook, would not survive another two-month trip overseas, I didn't want to chance it. Pinky's as-yet-unnamed baby sister is a wee bit bigger and has more disk space, yet was a C-note cheaper. I, for one, welcome our new computer overlord.

My Life as a Lime

I expect that I shall put this sticker on the netbook I ordered last night (a green Toshiba Mini NB505-N500, the one "recommended" in the Consumer Reports Electronics Buying Guide), to help me remember that though I am only a lime I can still do the best I can.

A Change of Scenery

I got a replacement for the six-year-old laptop I've been using for work, along with a docking station. Thanks to older son's not using his monitor right now, I have a sweet new setup in the office. The Mac on the left runs Twitter news feeds and my personal email account so I can keep the work computer dedicated to, what else, work.
