I dreamed you gave me a calendar with all the birthdays marked with photos of your children. And that Frank was three feet tall, already! YOIKS!

[Tax-chick]

Frank is not three feet tall. He’s also not three feet around, fortunately.

Morning...

[Tax-chick]

Noon.

[sionnsar]

Still morning. *\;-)

[Darksheare]

It popped into my head as part of a dream.
But it was one of the most bizarre dreams so far.
Still digesting it.

[sionnsar]

Late morning, still getting going. Had to don a sweatshirt — it just seems wrong to turn on the furnace mid-August.

[Tax-chick]

Weren’t you really hot just a few days ago?

[sionnsar]

A couple of weeks or more, yes. And the forecast was for today to be hot. Sun is beginning to come out, so who can say?

[stephenjohnbanker]

Only gonna be 104 here today. Need sweater......

[Monkey Face]

Yah...it’s only going to be 95 here, so I’ll see your sweater and raise you some leg warmers.

[Monkey Face]

I SAID it was a dream!! LOL!

[sionnsar]

Looks like a fairly cool day here.

STILL having problems with the house net. xubuntu box doesn't play well with the win2k server. Argh! At least the new CD burner works...

[Tax-chick]

That made no sense to me. There’s a big fly on my monitor!

[sionnsar]

Dinna worry yersel' lass! It's my own headache, "solved" by falling on slower FTP for backup... oops...

In terms of sharing hard drive storage on a network (you can save your files or back up copies of your directories on another machine on the in-house network), Linux has managed to play pretty well with Windows. EXCEPT for the version of Linux I am now using (Xubuntu), which tries to run well on older, less-capable machines (which my Scottish blood prefers), but which doesn't mesh well with Windows servers.

And the house server and depository is a Win2K box. For now. (I have a way around with much older and slower technology, and have used it.)

But I did back up my photos collections today. This will make LoM happy.

But in going through a huge pile of old floppies, I've found near a half-hundred (floppies) with photos not in my storage system *\:-(

Worse, I've still not found our photos from Australia in 1999.

Floppies with photos. That’s so 90s. I hope you find your Australia pictures.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I understand the leaves and roots are both edible.

[Tax-chick]

It is true. Just wash them off good! The leaves are a reasonable substitute for spinach, and the roots make a starchy thickener, like cornstarch, and are also used in medications of various kinds.

Bump to remember name of book...
