OSX 10.5 "Leopard" now up and running on my mac mini. User 'catttitude' is now primary user on her mac mini. Xubuntu now upgraded to 8.04. DVD-RW installed to replace my failing CD/RW drive in my XP/linux dual-boot box. Failing CD/RW relegated to an external enclosure. Monitor 'riser' installed on my desk (now that I don't have a 150-lb 22" CRT):

Daughter woke me up at 0400: "Daddy, I woke up...in the middle of the night!" My wife got out of bed to tuck her back in, but I've been awake ever since. Revisiting some old friends on Space Opera and Space Out and making some new ones. For example - I have an 'extras' download of Poledouris' Starship Troopers but with no track listing and it being in such disarray, I never listen to it. Being presented this way is much nicer. It just works, and the transition between "Whiskey Outpost Rescue" and "Nesmith And Mathazar" make it all the more delightful.

I'll be making pancakes for breakfast (provided I can stay awake that long - I stayed awake in part due to being stopped up, and my antihistamine just kicked in, dragging me down with it). I've been simmering my dad's recipe homemade syrup on the stove for nearly two hours. It should be good and thick by the time it's ready.

The boy woke up and started playing his Lego Star Wars game. I think I'll catch up with him and try to complete a companion piece to my steampunk open-cockpit plane I built a couple of weeks back.

Good times.

Much nicer setup...now all catttitude needs is a flat panel.

Tell her I love her wallpaper. Mmmmm! Naveen Andrews is so yummy!

Mmm, homemade syrup? Nice. :)

Speaking of breakfast, I need to get some...

[melancthe.livejournal.com]

I second the wallpaper love. Hotness!

Is that two Mac minis stacked on top of one another, one running Ubuntu, the other OS X 10.5? And are you running 10.5.2 or just 10.5?

[schpydurx.livejournal.com]

He even has man boobs!

Well, I thought she was going to respond to this herself (and she may yet) but she no longer gets on the computer any more on the weekends, citing being on them all day at work...however, I haven't seen her reply to my blog in over a week.

You women move in mysterious ways!

They're both running OSX; hers is 10.4 @ 1.42GHz & 256MB of RAM, mine is 10.5 @ 1.25GHz & 1024MB RAM. Ubuntu and XP are dual-boot off the x86 box in the rack.

Brains?

If you say he's, "yummy" you go dude. I don't wanna lick him, but you sure the hell can!

[schpydurx.livejournal.com]

What in God's Holy name are you blathering about?

[irulan-amy.livejournal.com]

Maybe for dinner, but not breakfast. ;)

[schpydurx.livejournal.com]

computers serve other purposes then exclusively providing a way for people to comment on your blog.

if her mini will take it, I have 2 DIMMS of 512MB DDR2 PC2-5300 667Mhz memory that came out of miniMax0r upon purchase to make room for the 2 1 GB modules of the same specs I installed.

And were that an applicable statement for this context, I would applaud you. Alas, it is not. Please try again soon!

That's very generous and the first time I've heard the new mini's will take more than a single stick. The PPC mini's are a single DIMM, PC2700/3200 only :(

you bemoan the fact that catttitude hasn't responded to your post. Her reason is that she's on the computer all day, every day at work. You then say that women move in mysterious ways as though you don't understand why someone wouldn't want to be in front of a computer all day and why if they were in front a computer, they aren't leaving you comments.

And you say that this isn't topical.

I need to get some...
Beef: it's what's for dinner.

You women move in mysterious ways!
It's all part of our charm! ;)

I know somewhere he can get "Lost" any time he wants to.

[galinda822.livejournal.com]

she no longer gets on the computer
Or uses her phone. :(

Gross!

However, my Grandmother used to have scrambled eggs and brains for breakfast. *gag*

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

Ewww! So did my grandmother! Scrambled eggs and brains.

*Ick*

[galinda822.livejournal.com]

I don't like to even think what she might have fed me as a child.
It makes me shiver!

[irulan-amy.livejournal.com]

Like cow brains or something?

EWWWW!

Is that Hell Boy on your server???

That's COOL!!!
