One Day To Go

Woohoo – she’ll be here tomorrow! – which probably means I need to clean the place up a bit – uh oh :(

Since Jen’s going to get a car we’ll be able to at least grab some furniture so she’ll have somewhere to sit – and she has timed it perfectly for the pool opening on the weekend. While I’m slaving away in work, she can lie by the pool and fight with the cicadas :)

Got my HDTV Cable hookup – unfortunately the on-demand function seems to have broken in the meantime, so I have to get out early again today so someone can come look at it. On the brighter side of things techie I managed to blag two 1U dual PIII 866 machines for free, I’ll swap the mobo’s out into a more reasonable case and hook them up at home – no idea what I’ll use them for yet but I’m betting that they’ll munch a few SETI units in the meantime while I figure it out…..

One last thing – where the hell is the Alt Gr button on US keyboards? – it annoys me to have to type Alt+0128 for the Euro (€) symbol and then have to remember what the code is for accented e etc. I know I could change the keymap to UK or whatever but I shouldn’t have too – how about an Alt Gr option or something?
