You should see my desk. I'm actually OUTSIDE on my balcony, enjoying the night air and the ool crisp morning. My laptop is sitting on a plastic footstool, with a plastic bucket on it, with a wooden "board" jammed under the hasp of the balcony. MAkes a SUPER STURDY desk. Been out here all night.

So, I've been pretty quiet. Why? I wet to see my parents. I broke one of my rules because mom promised to feed me well. So down to San Antonio I went, and I was fed well...but I kinda broke my own rule.

Wasn't going to go down to SA until my parents came up HERE once...but with food, an engine checkup and a laptop shakedown, I couldn't resist.

I ran down to San Antonio, and had my laptop playing a DIVX movie all the way down (lapop lid closed, mind you). It made it all the way down (1h 30m) on one battery, dying JUST at the point I pulled in. Cool!

Once I got there, it turned out there was an ulterior motive for my visit from their end: hey bought a new DVD player, and couldn't find out how to hook it up. It took a trip to Radio Shake, but now they have a huge 5 foot HDTV with a nice HDTV DVD player. And a new VCR as well.

The stuttering on the truck is the carbuerator - carboratatettor cleaner will "Fix" it according to dad. This means it'll patch it. Time to save up for a little engine work after the con.

On the way back, I listened to Whose Line is it Anyways, a little bit of Star Trek II (Even with the volume full blast, the DVD was too soft to hear above the road noise (Why are DVD volumes so soft?)) and a mess of DVDs.

This laptop likes Videogame music.

I didn't sleep well at home, mom has the HUGE pillows that hurt my neck...looking forward tyo a good sleep tonght....

I love working outside. Recently I picked up both a wireless router for the DSL and a little 2.4 GHz transmitter for the TV. There's already a weatherproof electric outlet on my patio, so I plug in my laptop and an LCD TV monitor (which I hijacked from work) and spend the evening out there, catching up on e-mail and working through what's on the Tivo. Just fantastic. The night air and woodsy surroundings really do wonders to clear out one's head.
