SETI@Home Graveyard

Let us bow our head in remembrance of two valiant machines, Alpha Trion and Swoop.  They were discovered to be non-functional upon the redeployment of the Graveyard.  They were reliable… er… they were the first two in my rack-wanna-be shelf.  Nemesis Prime has been re-purposed as Hunter’s computer, and will rejoin the Graveyard ranks when Hunter earns a connection to the internet.  Bruticus is now my desktop, and it’s still crunching data.  That left Slag and Snarl as the only boxes to redeploy in the basement.  I’ve set up the other Compaq Presario media computer (the multimedia might of Pentium II with MMX!) as Sludge, and am thinking of setting up the ancient eMachine as Grimlock (Thanks, Matt!).

That basement room is much more clean now.  I’m hoping that this trend continues.

Repercussions and Consquences

Doctor’s appointment today with the OB/GYN.  Pictures of babies on the wall, pregnant women all around, happy expectant faces everywhere… wore hard on Nikki.  Truth be told, on me as well.  Things are progressing normally, the hormone count is way down and still falling.  The loss, the hole, is still preventing things from returning to “normal”, but I don’t feel like I’m running from it.

Writing

What’s this writing thing of which you speak?
