So... we just moved into a new home.... boxes everywhere... some are computers... most are not... I know where the basics are... clothes (most of them), beer, TV/DVD remote, food (some of it... the rest will be easy to find once the smell gets stronger! :roll: )...
Update
Okay... Friday night is almost done... picked up the last load at the old place and brought it home and put it 'away' (read: in some empty space either in the garage or basement! ). Sat and swilled some ale while watching the Ottawa/Buffalo game... what a wild game! Buffalo coming back 5 times in the game, tying it with 10 seconds left in the game, and then winning it 35 seconds into OT! Woohoo! Did some coding... *stretch* YAWWWNNN! Time for bed or watch the Anaheim/Colorado game... hmmmm... also have FlightPlan and Crash sitting in Netflix envelopes here... bed maybe... decisions decisions decisions! lol....
Saturday Midday Report
Okay... up early to take one kid to SATs... then had to pick up the last load of stuff from the old place, take another kid to 'Green Up Day' (community service work tidying up the neighbourhood), and then headed to the dump and Home Depot... my new favourite toy store! Got a lawn mower, trimmer, cordless drill, drill bit and driver set, blah blah blah... got the mower home and couldn't put it together because it was broken, so had to haul it back to get a replacement... sat and watched Jodi Foster in Flightplan... don't bother... it was stupid... and shipped out the Dell Outlet PC... missed the first 2 periods of the Devils/Hurricanes game... surprised to find Carolina up 4-0! Now... I guess I should do some of the domestic stuff... at least a bit of it... lol...
Saturday Evening Report
Alright... cleaned 1/2 the garage, moved some shelved downstairs for the dry/canned food that we no longer have a pantry for... ordered chicken wings for dinner, sat and watched Crash with the kids (the one that won the Academy award or Oscar... can't remember which... a really difficult film to watch...), and then worked on the 'office'... set up shelving for the servers (stats server.... the dual Athlon MP1800, and the home server... Dell SC420 running a P4 3.2 HT chip), and then set up the two Optiplex P4-2.0 machines... onee is my main desktop machine, and the other is for the rest of them. So that's 4 machines in the basement and one in my daughter's room (Celeron 2.2g). Sitting idle are a pair of P4 2.8 HT and a Celeron 2.53... dunno how much more load I can put on this one outlet without it popping! Going to hit the hay... finish off the garage tomorrow and move the canned/dry food out of the kitchen into the basement to open up some cabinet space for the 10 still packed kitchen boxes! lol...
Sunday early afternoon update
ACK!!! She's coming home soon! lol... Computer office is set up (you see, she's just obtained her black belt in JKA Karate and has to write a thesis, so one of her 'requests' for the weekend was to have a PC set up for her when she get's back! Mission accomplished there! lol... And in about 1/2 hour, the garage (amazingly enough) will be tidied up enough of all the moving crap that we will actually be able to fit the van in there! woohooo... Assembled and tested the new lawnmmower... retrieved the last of the plants out of the garden of the old place... Gotta go ref three women's ice hockey games shortly... my daughter will be playing in one of those games...
