Picture My World

We rented The Day After Tomorrow tonight (very average and I wish I saw it on the big screen\*). As we were paying for it, the woman at Blockbuster said, “The Day After Tomorrow is due back by Monday at eleven o’clock.” I turned to my wife and said, “The Day After Tomorrow is due the day after tomorrow!” That gained me a chuckle from her and a blank stare from the woman at the cash register. Long day, I guess.

\* Or, rather, I wish I saw the FX sequences on the big screen so I didn’t have to waste my time with the pathetic plot.

One of the more entertaining “personality” tests I’ve seen in a while – hard to guess the outcome from the questions, anyway.

Which File Extension are You?

Thanks for the link, Matthew.

Why does my computer have three volume controls? I can adjust Window’s sound volume, iTunes’ (or insert favourite media player here) volume, and the external speakers’ volume. I find that I end up twiddling all three of them on a regular basis to get things just right. Any computer system designers reading?

On a personal note, we have moved homes and are now recovering. I hope to re-engage my brain soon.

Move day has come and almost gone. The move itself went without incident, although the rush to get prepared went to the last minute. Ever tried to pack the entire set of belongings for a family of three? Single handedly? That’s what it feels like when the baby is occupying one parent all the time.

The only utility to let us down was Sprint. The phone still hadn’t come on by 2 pm, so I called customer support. The friendly, but powerless, woman I spoke to said that the technical department had bounced the work order back to them because they weren’t sure if the line was for the main suite or basement suite. Umm, guys, you had 2 weeks to figure this out. And, why was I calling you? You said my cell phone number was on file. Still no phone. Hopefully tomorrow.

It was pouring today, so no pictures of the new digs to share yet.
