Weeks? Well, at least it will be done by winter!

I changed my avatar.

It's Enya!

Hey everyone! I'm back from the dead. LOL

Did my homework, watched the thunderstorm a bit, and pittied the A/C installer having to go outside in this pooring rain! It's still thundering right now. I think I rely too much on my UPS, I'll get hit one of these days if I keep turning it on like this. The main ADSL line ain't protected either.

The lighting is fading off though, I had closed the PC while it was bad.

I'm so happy that we will have A/C! It will be great!

I like the avatar, tak. That's a much better pic.

No storms here, may have some later.

Imagine that!! A *cool* Red Squirrel!

Actually, I like the old one better.

I will probably change it again today.

Hello, everyone!

Haha. Only thing I'm missing is those big black sun glasses on my sig. I slept so well last night with the A/C! My cat likes it too, she went inside the drawer where the A/C comes out (my dresser is right on the vent

)

Oh and tak, I just posted the stats yesterday, I guess I missed your post though.

I changed my avatar again.

I want the old Enya -- not the new, 42 year old, colourful Enya of today.

I like that Enya of today though; don't get me wrong.

I just like the photos from her old CDs that reflect Enya's true emotional depth.

Her chin looks a bit messed up though.

Yeah my ftp server for some stupid reason is not letting me backup avatars, so if we get hacked tomorow, we'll loose uploaded avatars. The rest of the stuff downloaded ok though.

That's not a big deal for me because I have it on my HD anyway.

I hope nothing bad happens.

Who would want to get rid of an Enya avatar though?

I think we still are not popular enough to get hacked. If we do, it will be on particular group having nothing to do with the competition tomorow, since they might hack us so we just assume it has to do with the competition. But if anything strange happends, I'll be contacting ISPs.

That's comforting.

I am hungry, but I am too lazy to leave the computer!

Also, I am making a new image for me signature. It's sort of fun.

Hello, I'm good, thanks.

Been away most of the day. How are things going with you, tak?

I am doing fine.

Mozdev is down.

I was going to play around with some Mozilla add-ons.

I am back from shooting some fireworks.

It wasn't as fun as last night though.

Did your grandchildren have fun at that show, Wren?

I haven't talked to them. It's hard to catch anyone at home on weekends.

Had to unplug for a while. We had lightning and a heavy downpour.

Wow you get lot of storms Wren! We only got one this year and it lasted about 20 minutes from sun leaving to sun coming back.

I like thunderstorms though, they are cool.

Chris Vogel · Post by **Chris Vogel** » Sun Jul 06, 2003 1:22 pm

We probably get more storms than you, Red, because we get warm air from the Gulf of Mexico that meets with cold air from the north.

I think...

Red Squirrel · Post by **Red Squirrel** » Sun Jul 06, 2003 1:34 pm

Yeah something like that. We only get cold air from the north so it does not do much storms other than blizzards and blowing snow.

I would love to have weather like that!

I am sick of our weather.

Yeah snow storms are pretty cool too. We get it just like you see in Eskimo movies and stuff. Well maybe not to that extent, but sometimes it's pretty close. One winter our house was almost covered. I could only look through the lower part of the window, the rest was all white from snow drifting from the roof, and I'd say a month more of this, the snow on the roof would literally be touching the snow on the ground.

Due to mouse problems, I turned my computer off last night.

I got a new optical mouse though!

I love it!

Yep, opticals are great. What's nice is that you don't have to replace them so often. We went through about 5 ball mice in about a month till we decided to get a $60 MS inteli point which we had for years now. I also have a microsoft optical mouse but it's not an inteli point. It's the one with the bottom red that lights up. It get's me in the eye at night sometimes
