Wise words.
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Thanks for the tip, ND.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Also, don't forget to ground yourself before you poke any of the computer's interiors.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
And unplug it before opening, just to be safe.

I plan on taking it into the kitchen and doing it all on the linoleum so that I can just sweep up all the dust I blow out afterward.

Google's ever-expanding e-mail service crashed yesterday -- the third major outage this year -- leaving millions of users griping and gnashing their teeth in frustration.
"We know many of you are having trouble accessing Gmail right now -- we are too, and we definitely feel your pain," David Besbris, Gmail's engineering director, posted at 4:15 p.m. eastern time from headquarters in Mountain View, Calif.
The problem was compounded because many Google engineers use Gmail themselves to communicate.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah. But they should have a backup email system. Hmail? GmailPrime?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ha. That is kinda funny.
In boneheaded move of the, well, week or so, the jack where my laptop's power plugs in has been giving me trouble for some time. Before vacation, I looked up the repair info so I could send it in. Then I decided I'd wait until after vacation so I could have it with me to surf.
Thereby waiting until three days after the warranty expired.
I == idiot.
Particularly since I have a second laptop that would have worked just fine just for surfing over the holiday. This, otoh, is my main work laptop which I need, for, you know, working.
Now I have to dig out and see if I bought any extra coverage from the dealer. But it's ridiculous to me because my previous repair was done so well and easily by Sony, and now I have to wrestle.
Or possibly pay about $300.
