I can’t take credit for this one… I heard it on the radio today.
Computer industry pioneer Adam Osborne died at 64. He was really hoping to make it to 128.
Now that’s funny…

Trading Spaces
Hmmm, perhaps Changing Rooms would be a better description. See, as the female was attempting to determine the ultimate layout of the kids room, we hit upon the discovery that the only viable solution was to switch rooms with the kids.
Since the desk moved out of our bedroom and into the basement, our room has been very empty. A bed, dresser, TV, and not much else… And since the kids have toys, and more toys, and even more toys, and need a place to play, we switched. They got the big room. I’ll take my Parent of the Year award now…
Of course this changing of rooms comes at a price. I spent half the day yesterday painting, and the rest of the day moving furniture. My arm went numb…

TO DO: Fix Wallstreet
Looks like I’ll need to read the Powerbook G3 Wallstreet take-apart instructions. As far as I can tell the power connector broke loose in my Wallstreet…
I fear having to use the soldering iron, as it’s been years since I’ve done any serious soldering…

No Van for Us
Well, we did not win the van as was greatly anticipated yesterday, despite all of the Positive Energy! that was sent our way.
I walked into the dealership and immediately saw we did not win. I still checked, and re-checked the numbers. Three times. Maybe four. They didn’t magically change at anytime. Damn…
We did get free movie passes, well, they’ll be mailed to us anyway. When I got home the whole family was depressed. We really believed we could win.
On the way back to the car I noticed something. There was a new van in the parking lot with the key just sitting there in the driver side door. Obviously this was a sign, keys don’t just show up in a new van for no reason. So, I got in and drove it home. Ok, I didn’t really get in and drive it home. I thought about it for a half second. Ok, a full second, but I mean, I didn’t like the color, and besides, I wasn’t 100% sure that this was an OK thing to do, I believe some dealerships frown upon your driving away with their vehicles without working out some sort of a payment plan first…
Tomorrow the kids and I will go to the Family Fun Fair, and attempt to win prizes there. That’s it!

Mycroft Plugins
Spurred on by nf0’s mention of a search plugin for nf0’s Life, I finally got around to uploading the Mycroft plugins I made long ago. See the Mycroft Plugins page for details… [IE users need not apply, it’s a Mozilla-thang…]
(And keep that Positive Energy! flowing!)
