This makes me very happy.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m hoping that someone buys <a href=\"http:\/\/cgi.ebay.com\/ws\/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;ih=013&amp;item=230007016416&amp;rd=1&amp;sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&amp;rd=1\">this<\/a>, just like I hope they buy whatever else I&#8217;ve been putting up on eBay for the last couple of months.  I mean, my Amazon.com Marketplace sales just never seem to stop, and eBay, for the most part, has followed suit.<\/p>\n<p>The old Compaq laptop from <a href=\"http:\/\/harbinger.ofdoom.com\/\">Nate<\/a> and Cheryl is next.  Definitely for parts.  Motherboard is very, very unhappy.  Then there&#8217;s <lj user=\"benniferus\">&#8216;s RAM and parting and selling <a href=\"http:\/\/www.smartnet-works.com\/\">Tom<\/a>&#8216;s desktop units.  I am clearly going to have to purchase a postal scale.<\/lj><\/p>\n<p>Also on the list of purchases is <a href=\"http:\/\/cgi.ebay.com\/ws\/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;ih=020&amp;item=300005331407&amp;rd=1&amp;sspagename=STRK%3AMEBI%3AIT&amp;rd=1\">more RAM for my iBook<\/a>, a USB\/mini-USB cable for getting images, movies, and such off of my phone, and hopefully a PS\/2.  I&#8217;m going to try to get these things used locally first (except for the cable), and then hit up teh intarweb.<\/p>\n<p>It still makes more sense for me to buy used.  Why would I encourage more new things to be made, when there are perfectly good used things out there that don&#8217;t need more resources to be expended in making them?  Oh, I&#8217;ve got to remember to put up my copy of <a href=\"http:\/\/ac.turbine.com\/\">Asheron&#8217;s Call<\/a> for sale.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight is the season premiere of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scifi.com\/stargate\/\">Stargate: SG1<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scifi.com\/atlantis\/\">Stargate: Atlantis<\/a> on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scifi.com\/\">SciFi channel<\/a>.  <lj user=\"benniferus\"> and I are heading out to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.liquidweb.com\/\">LiquidWeb<\/a> and taking wholesale advantage of the mini theater in their lounge.  Have I mentioned how much I&#8217;m loving my new job?<\/lj><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m tired, and it&#8217;s the kind of tired that makes me feel like my days have been really full lately.
