Scratch
Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.
Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.
On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.
Moves.
For those that know me in First Life™ will probably know that of late I have been pretty busy not moving house. Whilst not moving house has been ongoing for sometime at a rather leisurely pace, moving office was a much quicker affair. Its amazing what a phone call, an unlimited supply of company cash and a really irate tone can get you. Since I only had national dialling and a slightly irked voice I received three men or South American descent, or is that accent, and less than 5 hours later I am in a new office, my belongings staked around me.
After my PCs were set up, telephones were working, one of the other first tasks that I needed to do was re-organise my files on my slightly smaller shelves and give me some much needed floor space. Needless to say priorities took over and 30 minutes later I had disassembled my keyboards, removed the majority of keys individually, washed them and re-attached them in the correct order. Some may say this is not a valid use of my time, and they'd be right. 10 minutes in I could've afforded to buy a ney keyboard, but then thats not overly environmentally friendly. Instead now I have a almost pristine keyboard with good key action and a space bar that no longer sticks.*
And piles of box files and other bits 'stacked' 'neatly' on the floor for sorting.
Perhaps another day.
* I have oft complained of late that my hair is thinning, well to be fair I haven't said much about it as when I think about it waves of despair wash over me (but I'm unavoidably reminded at regular intervals by my friends - cheers guys). Anyway I have reason to suspect my keyboard was eating it. And various other detritus. And something blue and not so tacky.
