a mention of my silence

i haven’t been writing here: partly because i don’t really have time to be writing, mostly because i feel guilty that if i have time to be writing here, then i have time to be tending to at least one or something of the multitude of items currently on my backburner.

so i’ll make this quasi short lest i wreck in my guilt.

tons of stuff has happened/is happening. we moved successfully. more on that later. now a second move is taking place. more on that later. Baby Blue Bytes, the definitely-well-loved but unfortunately-unwarrantied Toshiba Satellite 5205-s703 is dead on the operating table. when i have a bit of money and time, i shall see about resurrecting the dead. meanwhile, please welcome Danium, the Satellite M40. Dani is joined by:

• Sylvia, the 1600×1200 pixel replacement of BBB’s gorgeous 15” UXGA screen,
• Benny the hub and Benny’s identical twin,
• Hallow the 300 GB multimedia-storage unit (to counterpart Casey, the existing Maxtor One-touch),
• and last but not least (however the smallest package) we have Baby Brain, which was surgically removed from BBB and now lives in a very efficient little Bytecc external case and does its job surprisingly happily.

I have discovered Newegg, and I am pleased.
Also thoroughly broke.

okay, the rest pending.
