    Got a new keyboard as my old one was acting up. The old keyboard would open new tabs randomly as I use the keyboard.  It requires two AA batteries but I tried the batteries from my remote and they did not help the old keyboard.

    I choose the new keyboard as it goes with my new mouse.  The mouse and keyboard are based on HP Link 5 technology.    My computer only has three USB ports and just using one USB port for two really does helps a lot.   Also the new keyboard is a full keyboard with a num pad and some buttons I do not know what they do.

    Perhaps one of the buttons is a "Make Art" button. yes   Or possibly a "Panic" button.  (like the "Esc" button but for nuclear emergencies more and more popular in recent months) surprise

    I survived Harvey.  I live in Corpus, which had some wind damage but didn't get the brunt of the eyewall winds, (thank you God).  At my house, we had power until 1am and got it back the same day at 7:30 pm.  My Father got his power back sometime Sunday and my sister got hers on Monday afternoon.  Things in Corpus are still crazy, we still have traffic lights blinking, off or blown off the pole still.  There are a ton of fences blown over, and power poles still bent or leaning dangerously as of yesterday.  I have friends who live on the other side of the bay in Portland who, thankfully, still have their houses too.  What we're most worried about now is my Husband's sister, who lives in the suburbs of Houston.  They sent us picks of the road leading up to their place flooding but their street was dry at the time.

    Good to hear from you, Fyredrygyn.  I worried about you.  Glad things are not worse.  I got about 1 foot of rain at my house in Austin, but no flooding on my property.  WoolyLoach and I are dry.  I went through my1st hurricane in Aransas Pass in 1942.

    Thanks for updating was worried about you both :)

    ...Annie, good to hear from you and that all is well there. Finally in my new pla e and getting settled in. Instead of torrential rains (or any rain for that matter which is odd as this is the Pacific Northwet) we are looking at more triple digit temps and bone dry conditions for the weekend into mid week that have kept us under a red flag fire status most of the summer. Say hi to Wooly for me.

    NOrth of here it has been the hottest winter evah

    ...I actually had a key labelled "Any" on the computer I worked on back when I was doing development work and programming.

    I'd like to have one labeled "Button", just so I could say press the Button button. devil

    ...well, with the move decided to field strip the workstation to clean it out.  THe last plae I lived in was so dusty it made for excellent godray studies just looking at the light coming through the window.  Fortunbately the contamination is not as bad as I feard (the one nice thing with the old P-193 case is it has easy to remove washable filters so that helped. Still need to pull the fans out, remove the CPU cooler and the GPU put to get into tll the nooks & crannies.

    Bugger this would be a good time to do the memory and OS upgrade but 370$ total on my income is a bit much at the moment especially with rent due. (and I'll still be rendering in Iray on the CPU as prices for 1070s haven't quite come down to where they should be yet).  I cannot do a download OS upgrade as the workstation is not connected to the Net so I have to get the OEM DVD version which is 150$ now.

    On another note, been sleeping incredibly well, due to the combination of a fairly dust free environment and much more comfortable bed..  Not waking up coughing like a chain smoker every morning because of all the dust.  Also no longer will get splinters in my feet from the worn floorbaords (had to wear shoes even in my room).  Discovered this one cool natural food market in the neighbourhood which is going to actually cut my food costs down yet still allow me to eat pretty well as a lot of items I use are 25% to even  50% less than the mainstream markets.Usually for natural food markets, it is the other way around. 

    Still have some items I need to move over from the old place (haven't yet been able to get hold of the person who was helping me, and now am becoming a bit worried that somethig might have hapened as for the last week all I get is his voicemail).  Almost thinking of biting the bullet and hiring a local mover to help me get everything that is left there out as the old place feels like a ball & chain around my ankle I just can't seem to get rid of.

    There is a market every week in the next block down from us  that is way cheaper than shops :)

  • I'm so relieved.  The little chapel that I was married in last November survived intact, including the hand painted frescos.  It was in Port Aransas, about a half hour drive from my home in Corpus.  It was a tiny church built in the 1930s on the tallest dune on the island at the time.  In the 70s, it had frescos of biblical scenes painted on all sides and even the ceiling.  It's now part of the Port Aransas Museum.  I was worried because Port Aransas was hit hard by Harvey.

    Some of the Frescos:

    Frescos over the doorway  

    And the church itself.

    I've lived in this area (again) for 9 years but just this summer discovered a fruit market in the next town east of me that has spoiled me for melons.  Y'know how you buy melons in a grocery store, they often aren't quite ripe and are tough & tasteless?  Not so with the fruit market.  Price is much better than the local grocery store and every melon I tried this summer was perfectly ripe.  Watermelons that spontaneously split when you stick the knife in them, Cantalopes that spoon out like soft ice cream, honeydew that dissolve in your mouth.  And I discovered the heavenly texture, but identical taste, of yellow watermelon too. yes

    ...as I mentioned above this market is a brick & mortar store that has all sorts of items from fruit and veggis to pasta to wine and most fo the fixins' I use for much of the cooking I do, all at a remarkable price.

    I used to live in the area more than two decades ago and the location this store is in used to be a 24 hour Thriftway supermart.
