Okay. Decided didn't favour Opera, changed to Mozilla. Had that a while back, and didn't like it too much, but, it seems they've updated, and they seem alright now. Okay, fine, it's the damned red dinosaur that bugs me, but can deal with that.

Spent most of the day cleaning. Managed to square away the guest room, almost completely anyway, and will finish that up tomorrow. Cleaning out the laundry room tomorrow as well.

Stressed a lot today. Came across family photo albums, looked at pictures of my grandmother, and uncle, and grandfather and father, when they were all young. A lot of people say Ki looks like her grandmother. Don't know. Martin was about, helping me a bit, we got on alright, Ki supposes. He thinks the pictures look a lot like me as well. Maybe will scan one tomorrow.

Stressed over boxes of my father's old computer stuff. Know should get rid of them, they're old, out of date, Ki cannot use them, and have loads of mementos, all they're doing is sitting about the house, in boxes, doing nothing. Looked through them. If you want an idea of how old the things in those boxes are, let's say there is some pamphlets from Prodigy, an AOL 2.5 manual, and those old thin 5 inch plastic floppy disks, among other lovelies. Feel bad about tossing things, but really, those aren't him, and they aren't doing me any good. Not tossing any of his other stuff, just thinking about the computer stuff. Might keep some of the floppy disks though, those are amusing.

Feel old. Ugh. Twenty-three in little over two months =-( Ki hates birthday, especially since moving to Idaho. Luckily it falls on either (currently forgetting which one) a Saturday or a Sunday this year. Usually spend the day laying in bed reading. My mother wants to celebrate while she's in town though, even though it's two months early.

Scott, heheh, thought you'd find it interesting that Ki spent most of the day dancing around to "Goodbye Sober Day". *sings* Chk! Chk chk chk chk chk chk chk!!

Hah! Anybody remember that singer? Snow? What ever happened to Snow? And while we're at it, what ever happened to that guy? The one that had the song "Unbelievable"

I actually have a 5.25 drive in my computer if you want to try to get the info off the disks (it's a combo 3 1/2" / 5 1/4" drive). They built those disks to last.

I'll be 28 in three months. :P

I don't want to hear any comments about age from you since I am turning 26 in less than a month

Fire fox?

Eeeek! Yes, but men become distinguished as they age!

hehe! Men age with grace though.

Depends on the man. Anyone who takes care of themselves tend to age gracefully though.

At least as gracefully as you can without an "Extreme Makeover".

Oooo, saw that, hehe, fox looked cute. Don't know anyone that has that though, don't think anyway, so, no one could recommend yes or no.

i'm not sure if you ever met dennis or not... but when it got really big around here that the g-types would hang CDs on chains around the rearview mirrors of their cars, dennis and i hung a five inch floppy off mine. i doubt anybody else found it half as amusing as we did, but that hardly bothered us.

Firefox is the latest generation Mozilla browser, I've started using it and the only fault I can find is the lack of a new tab button on the bar thing

Lack of a new tab button?

[identity profile] rudestlink.livejournal.com 2004-08-15 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
a button to empty an empty window within the browser

Wasn't Snow the guy who sang "Informer" and EMF did "Unbeleivable"...? XOXO

Yes, Snow did informer, was trying to remember who did unbelievable
