Too many cords.

Posted on by

I found the missing power strip from the move. I also have the APC three-row power strip that I got for Christmas. Total geekgasm as far as a power strip goes. APC’s guarantee and quality for a simple power strip. Anyway, I have determined that I have an insane amount of cords, and should probably wall mount my power supplies.

However, I will need to make room for a third desk and computer here in the mid-to-near future. I’m not even thinking about the station I was gifted with at xmas that currently resides at ‘s house. Bah, that one should stay there for visitation purposes, at least. ;)

I also want to mount my Altec Lansing satellite speakers and subwoofer in a way that allows everyone in the computer room, no matter what desk you’re sitting at, to enjoy -both- sides of the stereo music. I should clearly call ‘s brother about this. Not to mention my VCR that won’t get or display video properly in my mess of an entertainment system.

Gah. Tired. Sleep now.

Apple Geekery

The beta trial for iChat AV is done. I need to purchase Panther if I want iChat AV now. I’m considering it, because of the improved Finder and font management as well as licensed iChat AV.

The new finder looks suspiciously like gnome’s file browser for RedHat. I’m guessing that it’s similar across the board, as far as distros go, but why couldn’t Apple just do that right off the bat? Heh.

Okay, my Apple geekery is done… FOR NOW! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Hokay. So.

Drinking more water is good for me. Drinking more water out of a dilbert cup is good for my morale. And so is my Dilbert desk calendar. Hee hee!

Hokay. So. Here’s the Dave. Chillin’. Dang, you might say, that’s one angsty Dave. WRONG!

Okay, not completely wrong, but not swinging from the pendulum like a crazed orangutan any longer. was really good to talk with last night. was even better, because she was the one I needed to communicate with. Thanks to the both of you. :)

I’m back on the working out schtick. I feel great, even if my muscles are a bit stiff on a regular basis. It feels like a good stiff though. Man, I used to hate when people said that.

Two bills and a letter to ‘s sister to go out today. A letter for and went out yesterday. Living so near a post office is pretty damn cool.

Tick, tock.

I am calm. I am self-reliant. I cannot be perturbed by the world, no matter how powerful the disturbance. I am as emptiness.

I am a thunderstorm. I am torrential downpour. I am flash floods. I am merciless lightning strikes.

Paranoia would have been better than this guessing. A promise was made.

I know that it’s the nature of the universe to change. I know that it’s the nature of calm and understanding to be fleeting. This pendulum shit is ridiculous.

I need to wrest hold of the pendulum and let go of it completely at the same time. How’s that for a Zen Koan?

Release is good. Need communication.

Updates.

Album pages have been updated. More specifically, the Misc from this month. I’m going to have to add a link to that here on my page.

Chapter 11’s rewrite and typing up is done. It will be sent out presently.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Sixty-six-year-old Taurus actor Jack Nicholson is a paragon of receptivity. “I’m dying to have my mind changed,” he told “Esquire” magazine. “I’m probably the only liberal who read *Treason,* by Ann Coulter. I like listening to everybody. This is the elixir of life.” Nicholson’s refreshing declaration should be your words to live by in the next couple of weeks, Taurus: It’s your astrological season of expansion and experimentation. Don’t just grudgingly agree to open your eyes and have your theories challenged. Learn to *love* the uncanny stretching sensation.
