Well, we’ll see what today shapes up to be. I think we’ll start out kinda cold, low 50sF, and then get warmer. Still damp, but should be clear. Yesterday was fairly nice after it warmed up, but that took until after noon, and it didn’t stick around after dark. Which shouldn’t be a surprise since it’s mid January. And really, it’s been mild all last year, and shaping up to be mild again.
I got some stuff underway yesterday. And some continued to get attention. I don’t think anything got finished though. Mostly I worked on my two main PCs in the office. My UPS was not even covering blinks in the power anymore, and I could see grey fuzz on my air inlets on both machines. So. Clear a path to where the machines are under my desk. Disconnect, pull the machines, open, clean, replace DVD, clean some more, close ’em up, vacuum the filth out of the space where they live, get the new UPS in place, change some cord routing, fix the speaker connections while under there, and put the PCs back in place. [wow, I think I kept that grammatically correct.]
I’m not completely back together yet, since I decided to change a video cable and the adapter didn’t work, but I’m 90% of the way. I dislike changes to my main way of interacting with the world and where I spend hours every day. It needed to be done though.
I’ll check the stacks more thoroughly today and try to get the second monitor working again. It’s like being blind in one eye, or confined to a tiny box to only work with one monitor.
Aside from that, I am going to get out of the house for a bit and then do a pickup. I’ll probably hit the HEB too, as W has volun-told me to donate some soda to the kid’s school program. Soda that I don’t have in the house already. I’ll be near my secondary location too, so I can stop in and try to get the cable I need if I can’t find one here.
Too many places for stuff to live.
But I call it diversification and redundancy!
Stack, and learn, and work.
