Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I've asked this before, but now I really have time.

Since I'm unemployed, I'm doing some housecleaning, and all of my tinkering computers are over 10 years old.

If anyone has any dead or mostly dead laptops (Mac or PC) made in the last decade they would like to get rid of, let me know.

I can't pay much, but I'll pay for postage.

Printer does not yet show as shipped. Somewhat dubious as to whether or not will arrive tomorrow.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I was startled with how fast Staples shipped for free. And Staples was the shipper.

Not to lemon in paper cut, just actually startled when the guy showed up.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Okay okay! I generally get impressed with business to business businesses because they get the whole need-it-now thing. But no go so far. I mean, it could be fine. I just feel dubious.

If it was shipped USPS, it sometimes doesn't show until after it arrives.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Shouldn't have been. If it was, it won't get to me; the United states postal service refuses to deliver to me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Intel's Awesome NUC PC Starter Kits Are On Sale Today

If you're looking for a super-compact PC with an abundance of power, but don't want to build it all from scratch, Intel's Next Unit of Computing boxes might be just what you're looking for. Today on Amazon, the Intel Core i3 and Core i5 models are marked down to some of their lowest prices ever.P

The i3 NUC is only $266 today, and the i5 model is selling for $330, or about $50 off the typical asking price.

...

The kits come complete with motherboard, case, processor, and Wi-Fi antennas, but you'll have to add a mSATA SSD, power cord, wireless card (unless you're going to use strictly ethernet exclusively), RAM, and your input devices. Still, once you've built out your machine, you'll have a fully-functioning Intel PC with a 4" x 4" footprint.

I totally want a a fully-functioning Intel PC with a 4" x 4" footprint. I just can't think what I'd use it for.

All is well that ends in pizza.

So, you have to add a SSD, a Wifi card, RAM and all peripherals, huh?

Hmmm.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

FINALLY got the shipment notice so I guess I'll get it tomorrow. Thankgoodness I stumped up for the overnight shipping or I wouldn't see it until next week. Oh well, tomorrow still lets me take the old one to the recycler when I go on Saturday.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oooh, I checked my tracking info and that caused the fedex truck to pull up in front of my door!
