Using Live Mice...

Posted on 03/20/2007 12:30:33 PM PDT by John Robinson

We technicians here in the Free Republic server room experimented with real mice attached to our computers. Unfortunately, not one mouse survived being plugged-in for more than a few minutes. We've reverted back to the hamsters, they're more durable and they know how to dance to the electronic pop music we enjoy.

You should notice a significant improvement in response time.

Go go hamsters.

Well, you know how it is...Ma and Pa from Chicago, out here to see Sin City, and need the Grand Tour...

I think the last time I did that was maybe 15 years ago or more. There isn't enough money for me to drive the Strip. *shudder*

I'll be leaving soon for my shower and some pills, and a night on a heated mattress. I'll be here tomorrow, posting in between boxes. *sigh*

Hopefully the "shower and some pills, and a night on a heated mattress" will leave you feeling better tomorrow!

I really overdid it today, and I knew I was, but all of us had a time constraint, and I was trying to make sure it could get done within the time we had allowed, as other people had appointments and obligations.

I hate feeling pressured, but...tomorrow is another day, and I can go at my own pace.

First and only time I was in Vegas was in 1981 or 1982. Exhibiting at the Consumer Electronics Show or something like it. Remaining memories are:
1) Corporate colleagues insisted I gamble and gave me some tokens to gamble away, so I did. Lost them all, of course, just as I said I would. *\;-)
2) The pathetic (in the sense of sorrow and pity) hooker on a street-corner furtively mumbling "Wanna have a good time?" to every male who passed by. Don't know what brought her down to this, but something did and I hope my prayers for her deliverance were answered, and answered a long time ago.

I have no liking for Vegas.

You can be IN Vegas, and still not be OF Vegas.

It's my home, but I like Hooterville, because where I live, it's quiet and relatively free of crime. Although I suspect it won't be long before this property will have to be fenced. Still, the climate suits me. ;o])

I know the situation and the feeling. I have to work on some photos for our Persian restauranteur friends tonight, but once that's done I can pretty much relax tomorrow afternoon.

Though it's going to be a BUSY week at church. Among other things the goodwife will be driving the organ bench at the sunrise service Easter; I just might sign up to serve at that service, but somehow I don't think it will get me out of the 10 AM service duties.
