Got in the power supply for my laptop that was the “cheap one guaranteed to work.” & of course it doesn’t work. Ordered the $80 from the certified repair shop today instead. I really don’t get this crap about the adapters not working properly & whatnot. I actually have the same problem with certain pedals. Why is it that some pedals hum when I use a universal power supply, but the proprietary one with the same specs written on the outside sounds crystal clear?
Got an unanticipated significant order from a distro I haven’t worked with in a couple years. Pretty exciting. We’ll see what happens. It’d be nice to get a new distro that can move a few hundred units a year so I stay at the same level even as the other distros have their sales ween a bit.
Wrote some intro bits for the various series for the mini-comics sampler.
I was looking around for a rollerball/trackball/whatever-they-call it mouse today. Did they stop making them? I only went to staples & Radio Shack, but both had zero? Anyway, if somebody has an extra one, let me know; I’m ready to upgrade to 1995 technology.
I posted the offer on Twitter the other day & no one seemed to respond, but if anyone is interested in trying to alter the code to the Silber banner so that the look in Firefox (which I like) appears in Internet Explorer (where the words are scrunched up) correctly while still appearing correctly in Firefox – I’m offering a 5 Silber CDs & a t-shirt reward.
Today I got a demo in the mail that was just a CD. No personal note, no one sheet, no nothing. Umm, not that I’m attacking you personally if you’re reading this, but what am I supposed to do with the disc? I mean is it a gift or a label submission or something you want me to master or are you trying to get me to write a press release or are you trying to score an elusive interview with QRD?
The past few days I’ve been starting to get “models” asking to be my friend on Facebook. Which means robots are over there now. Which means it’s going to be even less useful than it already was.
