Tonight

I went to the grocery store and they had peaches. I bought four and I am trying to save a couple for tomorrow morning. I don't think I will succeed.

I am setting up my birthday brunch invite on facebook. I went through my list of people and after the first pass I have 60 people I was thinking I could invite. Now I get why people have such huge guest lists at weddings and why if I ever get married I am going to elope.

I got a new computer at work today which is much nicer than my old one. I sort of want to be playing with it and setting it up the way I want but it is really cold in here and I think I'll take a bath instead.

You can bring your kids if you want (unless you want a break. :))

I figured you would want the break. However if you decide the day of feel free to bring one or the other. :)

My Computer => Properties (:

[identity profile] sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com 2008-10-24 02:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Right-click on "My Computer" and choose "Properties". It'll tell you SOME specs.

Oh, duh!

It is still at home. I'll do it tonight. :P

You'll check your home computer tonight??

[identity profile] sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com 2008-10-24 02:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Work computer. Not home computer.

[identity profile] sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com 2008-10-24 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
You take your work computer home so you can mess with it on your own time???

[identity profile] bertine.livejournal.com 2008-10-24 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. It is a new computer! It is fun!

Also this means I can IM and watch TV at the same time.

You can't usually do that?

I've been trying to setup a new computer for work (well, a new VM) for a few weeks. I'm like at 90% but the last 10% is the crazy stuff.

[identity profile] bertine.livejournal.com 2008-10-24 02:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly. The computer is mostly set up but it is all the little things that I need to get the way I like. It isn't hard and if I can do it while watching TV then I am happy.


I usually am watching TV on my home computer in my office. I rarely use my livingroom.

[identity profile] sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com 2008-10-24 02:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I pretty much ONLY use the living room (:

My 10% is all the crazy encryption certificates we use...

My old work laptop is so big I couldn't deal with sitting with it on my lap so I wouldn't use the livingroom

Is this guy a laptop?

I usually have the laptop on the coffee table. Especially in a year or two when I'm forced to get a bigger one.

[identity profile] bertine.livejournal.com 2008-10-24 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
bigger laptop or coffee table?


Yeah, both are laptops but my current one is HUGE. I hate it.

[identity profile] sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com 2008-10-24 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Bigger laptop, since Apple have been screwing up the small laptops for YEARS and now they took firewire out of them.

My coffee table is pretty big. And I didn't buy it, I made it! And I'm kinda proud of that.

No, my new work computer which is still at home. I get to set it up before I give up the old one.

I love peaches so much but I'm allergic to them. How bad does that suck?

I eloped and it was a fantastic idea.

[identity profile] bertine.livejournal.com 2008-10-24 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I have food allergies but I would be really upset if one of them was peaches.


Exactly. I have such a huge family that it would get to be big in no time.

I perform weddings for people, and whenever anyone asks me to do it I always recommend they elope, or just grab two witnesses and we can do it in my garage.

They always laugh.

At first.

By the time of the wedding, they all wish they'd have listened to me.

[identity profile] kaybird01.livejournal.com 2008-10-24 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
...and spent some time yesterday getting the blasted type LARGER so I can see it.
Does this mean I'm getting OLD?

Will at least stop by to your birthday brunch.
