Computery stuffs

So my coworker left his computer unlocked this morning when he went home. What sort of an evil but easily recoverable thing should I do to it?

OHAI THAR

Hallo, I am speaking to you from the place my location says! And that is all I'll say about that in my post right now. In other news, I fail at pushups. We were doing presidental physical fitness tests last week and maybe this week, and guess how many pushups I did? Situps aren't as much fail though; forty-five and it almost killed my stomach. Some of us don't exercise all the time, we prefer to...

Sunday (12/20/09) - Reading Day

.... You just sit and type and call me if you need help. " "But I only type with one finger at a time! Giselle? . . . " Oh, well. I have all afternoon. I'm not very good at these computery bloggy things. Daisie Mae was the writer in the family, and I was never as well educated as she was, but I knew Rosie first, and I knew her longest. I hated cleaning dorms. Even your gloves won't keep the ik ...

... Christmas. The weather was pretty cold and wet on the way there and colder but dryer on the way home. We fought against this by leaving the heating on, spending time reading and doing computery things and then cooking an extremely tasty but problematic (more in a second on that) roast lamb dinner with roast potatoes and sprouts. Unfortunately it looks like the food was a little too rich/...

Quick shout for help from London-based computery folks: The lovely pixylatedpyxie recently moved in with two friends and has wireless broadband coming into the new house, but can't get reception on her PC upstairs. It may need setting up from scratch, or aerials/etc which aren't in place yet. The PC downstairs which is connected directly to the modem gets broadband fine. Does anyone have...

Dude, you want a steampunk computer?

Well, it doesn't get much more steamy-punky-computery then this. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=121206408 Peace Out.

a recollection

..., with organic goodness, beach and wilderness. Chelle and I devised plans for moving there once Jason and I are registered – a private practice, miscellaneous (I just can't recall the specifics) IT and computery jobs for Rohan and Jeremy, a host of eclectic pursuits for Chelle, including a stall at the markets where Chelle and I can sell our paintings, gardens, hammocks, surfing, drum circles (we ...

computer illiteracy

Ten observations from our trip to St. Louis

 Ten observations about our trip to St. Louis (with subjects ranging from televisions to cooking to sex) begun last Thursday and concluded today: The road was wearisome as ever. We made our customary dinner stop, glad for a break in the drive. The Mexican restaurant in Springfield was laboring under a suspension of its liquor license. As a former owner of such a restaurant, I...

Trying to be an "early adopter" of something. Will I succeed?

While I generally like technological innovations and the nice things they do for me, I have almost never been part of the first wave of people getting in on anything new. When I was a kid, I was behind everyone else on having things like a VCR or one of those portable cassette players that were all the rage before CDs took over. I was not an early adopter of CDs either. I was very late to the ...
