Small Miracles

Halloween was fun. For the first time, I actually went out with the parents and the kids to go trick-or-treating. I'd always chosen to stay at home, and this time I decided to just leave the bowl of candy on the front doorstep with a sign, and I went with John and Jet through the neighborhood ( Read more... )

Go you!

It's never too late to start making *regular* backups, preferably daily. (Need to teach my kids that...)

So very true. We usually do a monthly backup of all the machines anyway, so he wouldn't have lost too much anyway as we do have a backup of his machine, but he'd just made an Ogre map that he was especially proud of and was regretting the loss of until I got the machine to go again.

The daily backup of things you really care about is a good and not that common discipline. I do that with my writing.

Many hugs. I'm very glad that things were sorted out, and much sympathy on the stress beforehand.

"No, it's going to fail again, it's just a matter of when."

This is, like, "EDUCATION OF AN ENGINEER, CHAPTER N of MANY"

So true! *laughs* And that's not even counting the mean time between failure mathematics of it, it's just the practical application of said theories. *laughs*

Yes, I'm afraid Jet is doomed, even if he becomes a lawyer, he'll still approach it like an engineer.

The last time we had a trick-or-treater come by was in 1994. That was only because the cruel parents of a family that had just moved into the neighborhood *made* their kids go around to meet everyone. That's one of the drawbacks of country life. The candy return for the effort involved just isn't worth it for hungry kids. We still make pumpkins to put out, but it's mostly for the amusement of the dogs. Pumpkin is one of their favorite foods and so they're always happy to help ( ... )

Yum! Pumpkin! Happy dogs.

Yeah... and a fitbit can cost a lot less than a smart phone.

Hee about the tasty shots. They are pretty, and it turns rose pink when cooked 'long enough'. *laughs*

(imagines a ghost being disappointed at not getting any steps because the fitbit won't count them as the ghost floats along....)
