I ain't dead
Aug. 16th, 2010 08:49 pmAt least part of it is a chaos of my own creation now. I've been building and rebuilding things all weekend. Friday I started building my new computer, just as I was finishing up ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
derien's. But in order to actually make my new Windoze box, I had to take a drive that I'd designated for that purpose from the FreeBSD box that serves as my workstation and our music and other things server. Alas, it wasn't just a data drive, but the root partition and all kinds of other things. So I spent the weekend trying to make sure I had everything saved in various places, installing operating systems, and generally being computerless.
I was also staining and applying polyeurethane to the pieces of oak that will be my keyboard tray and the top of my new desk. Now I've got one more layer of poly to go on most of the parts and I can start assembling them. While I was waiting for all that, I also worked on the van (one blown fuse, one loose seat, carpets vacuumed). I also worked on getting the parts of the house I wasn't making into a disaster to look less like a disaster, mixed luck there.
Boring! Oh, we got huge, huge, huge mutant looking bean things from the pole beans in the garden. I mean these are the beans that ate New York kind of beans. Impressive that any plant can grow that fast. We are also getting more peppers from our happy little pepper plants (one of which is waist high now) and harvested more carrots.
