When I realized it's been a whole month since I've posted ANYTHING, I decided to post today. When I realized how much has happened in the last month, I decided I needed to post something soon. Probably today.
After the death of Tall Silver and Handsome (that's what Emily named her computer that we bought from her), it took me at least 2 weeks to clear him out of his home and make way for Spot. (No idea why it's name is Spot. It just seemed to fit.) For a whole 3 days I had a beautifully clean office space that was only missing a couple up-cycled magazine holders and a colorful picture or two before it deserved to be in some sort of blog post about being frugal and making what you have look nice, cozy, modern, and family friendly. Then I checked the mail. Now it has almost returned to the catch-all state it was in before its new occupant moved in.
As part of our little office spaces cleaning and rearranging, I decided to minimize the number of cords I had to see and mess with every day. That and mobility are the best parts about laptops, right? Thinking about how this little dream of mine would come true I remembered this lovely USB port that we had upstairs, sitting in our cords box. Brilliant!! I could plug all of our stuff into one long strip of ports, shove that behind the file cabinet, and just have the one cord that I could nicely place between the printer and external hard-drive. Excellent!!! Well, I figured I would probably run into problems, but chose to not think about it and deny the signs until I had to. The problem with digging technology out of boxes that have been sitting under the bed for years is that it's probably old technology. Every time I plug it in, I get some little thing pop up saying that my device could perform faster blah, blah, blah... Who pays attention to those little things that pop up anyways? (Yes. My part time job and pre-Henry full time job is at a software company. I pay attention to that stuff there. I just don't like to do it at home. Computers should just work. Good thing one of our perks is super-duper anti-virus.)
Henry just woke up, so I'll get to where I was going. Old technology doesn't support new technology demands. One cannot quickly or easily download pictures via old technology. I'm looking for a new USB hub today. Maybe. JUST MAYBE, I will post some April stuff before it's June.
