Swing Low

Just enjoying a lazy Saturday of coffee, clear skies and kids on the swings.
And file recovery.
In retrospect of how the Powerbook has been behaving, it seems that the hard drive is failing. I’m slowly recovering files and hope to get it all by this evening, but it’s an unpredictable process. On the bright side, it’s a reason to go computer shopping. I’d normally replace the hard drive, but I’m not about to attempt it on a Powerbook. My geek skills are good, but not that good.
In other news, I’m now on Twitter. I think my first tweet says it all:
“The assimilation is complete - I joined Twitter.”
So if you are inclined to see what I’m up to, follow me, peteej.

I think this is a good time to check out a new mac book, considering if the file recovery had failed, my life would be in more cyberspace induced PTSD.
No thanks, it is already hard enough to embrace the unknown, not to mention the French book translation I am working on… would be in the bowels of the abyssal vortex of said “espace cybernautique” … and another 6.5 hours of writing has just flown the coop, this is ridiculous!
Yes I purposefully call it the cybernautical space… because I like nancesms…and it is also easier for an Atlantean to associate suffocatingly deep voids with fires erupting from conical shaped gas exuding hot spots that feed superheated sulphuric nutrients to colonies of survivalists and in non dimensional time frames, eventually produce new real-estate in the liquid element that has a for sale sign on the internet 15k to 20k years in advance of its projected surfacing date.
Don’t believe me? Go look for virtual real-estate purchases on the not yet grown up Island of Lohi in the Hawaiian chain, incidentally, a chain of islands created by a [one] hot spot that the crust of the Pacific submarine terrain has passed over and since rotated north and west to create the Hawaiian Islands. The spot currently creating Lohi is where each of the Islands was created and if you look at the shape or curvature of the chain, you will note that they have moved, but the hot spot is stationary.
Why shouldn’t I write a long inane comment here? At least on peteej’s site, I know what I type will be retained and not forsaken to the unkknow by a precariously functioning laptop w/ a hard drive that has it in for me.
For more useless facts and entertainment in nangent form, you can check out my blog, although, you may be upset to find that if I do post anytime soon, it may just be a bagful of belligerence flowing from the cavernous wellspring of my foul mood.
The writing has flown
But you still passed the witch class
Virtual Lohi?
I honestly can’t figure out what the attraction with Twitter is all about. I try to limit my internet time wasters- but I find myself getting sucked into more and more.
I have been using Twitter to update my blog for a long time and frankly I don’t know what that does.
Too don’t you find it weird when you get an email that says “so and so is now following you on twitter?”
I always think why? Why are you following me- I am not going to do anything spectacular and then twitter it for the masses!!!

I joined on an invite and still don’t know why. It’s like that episode of south park where a Walmart moves into town and everyone has to go shopping. They don’t know why, but they need to. Same for Twitter.
Twitter confounds me. I am awesome no matter where I am, but I am not sure how to even strategically use it. Hey, that photo looks like all the ones I take…so wait, I am actually good somehow?
I thought play groups confounded you.
Well, if that’s what your pics look like, then you have totally awesome, untouchable, bow-down-to-me-type photography skillz. Note that it’s skillz with a “Z.” Don’t front on that.
MacBook Pro? Yay!
Twitter? Nooooo!
Your photograph? Love it.
Dianes last blog post..Finding Mr Darcy….
I agree completely. :)
Bring on the Macbook Pro. Yay! Will that lead to tutorials with iPhoto, perhaps?
;-)

Given the current state of affairs with regard to data storage and backups, I don’t think the MacBook is coming anytime soon. I’ve got my eye on a Drobo right now.
Powerbook HD replacement isn’t too difficult, I don’t think. Depends on the model; some are easier to open up than others.
On the other hand, it can be an excuse to get a MacBook Pro.

I’d love to get a Macbook Pro, but I’m not a fan of the aluminum case - one drop and it’s bent for life. It will still work, but it’s scarred forever. (I speak from experience.)
Ain’t no way I’m opening that Powerbook up.
