My Hill

[Sibling Chatty]

Trying to organize My Hill.

What is all this stuff, and WHY is it stacked on My Hill?

[Griffin NoName]

It isn't. It's all stacked on My Hill. At least, there is stuff all over My Hill, mostly from the mammoth battle I have had getting my cell phone to work as a modem for my PC. Never in the history of womankind have there been so many cables and dongles and flashing lights and weird codes known only to techinical support people who probably reside in Panama.

We have 7 computer carcasses of varying ages on our Hill. Several with the original Pentium processors in... One has an ancient tape back-up drive, but also has a CD-RW, a couple of other up-to-date things, Firewire (useful for certain videocameras) and a ton of memory.

The girl across the street's ex-boyfriend left this stuff with her, and he's recently become a guest of the state of Kansas for 15-to-life... Dan put together one working computer for her and she's happy. He gets to salvage stuff from the rest, so he's happy. I get to walk around it all...but Dan's happy so I am, too!

Anybody need a five and a quarter floppy drive? Or three?

[Griffin NoName]

My Hill would seem to bear a marked resemblence to Chatty's Hill. I still have a working PC with 5.25 floppy drive but I cut up all the 5.25 floppies and donated them to the Great Toadfish in the Sky-Water. I probably have every sort of cable ever known on planet My Hills too. Nevertheless, I never have what I actually need. My Hill operates under Murphy's Laws.

8 of 10 Hill's operate under Murphy's Laws...

I have a SO with a cold so bad he won't show up at my hill, and it was nearly 2 weeks since I last saw him.

Also, my hill has connection problems with the Monastery Hill 

[Sibling Chatty]

There is a 2 gig harddrive (remember when 2 gigs was HUGE?) on the sofa on My Hill. It is currently in use as a pillow for a dog person. However, the assorted screws, bolts, nuts and fasteners all over the floor indicate that said dog person has been playing in his Daddy's piles o stuff.

My Hill needs a big magnet.

Ourr Hill is undergoing Dan's occasional need to do computer stuff, AND tomorrow, we're getting 2 new (to us) monitors!!

Woo Hoo! No more 13" monitor that is jumpy, gray overcast and makes fizzy noises!!

And best of all, he'll have a complete Linux box soon, and can play with it instead of splitting Linux with my Windoze on this hard drive.

Happy computer times on My Hill.

Oooh! What's he running?
I have a RedHat and an Ubuntu. I like the Ubuntu better.


Currently, relaxing on my hill after work and the end of term. Dodging various requests to clean.

Running Unbutu, wants to run Debian also.

Very nice.


Dark now on my hill

[Griffin NoName]

The faulty engine on My Hill turned out to be a broken exhaust. There may yet be life after car trouble, but delivery of Christmas presents will be delayed and the bank balance will still suffer.

[Sibling Chatty]

WOOT! Dan got paid today instead of next week, on Our Hill.

Gasoline and groceries!!

Oh, crud, that means going shopping on My Hill...

[Griffin NoName]

packing day on My Hill, but the cases need unpacking first from the summer trip; never do today what you can put off til tomorrow

[Griffin NoName]

I've invented winter and summer cases on My Hill and now only the fake breast, nail varnish, and pumping mechanisms still need packing. I need a snooze before attempting that. Considering turning My Hill into wall to wall suitcases for rapid get aways.
