Maybe it'll clear up
Nov. 14th, 2009 01:57 pmMy plan for today was to go to Easthampton (Western Mass, southwest of Northampton) and check out the Topatoco Open House. It's raining outside, it takes about two hours to get there and I'm not sure any of my other Noho friends are up for hanging out. Today is feeling more and more like a shop-at-home day.
Thursday and Friday at work went a lot better than Wednesday. I was productive, I learned things, I beat up real and virtual computers and explained what I learned. By Friday I could sense the learning curve's angle turning upward. They like me and they aren't being sarcastic. It's been a while since I felt this good.

fangirl715 on Thursday evening while she was still in MGH. I lent her my small lappy, since she hadn't had Internet access in days and no one deserves that fate in a loud, sterile hospital. One might actually take the TV seriously after too long...
I also got my second paycheck on Friday. Since I've already rid myself of three old computers and a few small boxes of semi-computers, I felt ready to research an upcoming tower purchase. Actually, I'm not planning to buy a tower since I've got a couple emptiess -- just the CPU, matching motherboard, video card and RAM. If I can keep the price of the individual components lower than a full desktop machine, I'll consider it a victory. ( Historical geeking... )
Yeah, the rain just cranked up a notch and Storrow Drive is flooded. I'm going to research motherboards and CPUs instead of heading out. Today will also be good for sorting ancient hard drives for disposal. I'll start with the older, smaller drives since they're usually the heaviest and have the least number of items.
