Resurrection

I’ve gotten a bunch of stuff installed on Mrs. Perils’ computer, and have been able to do most of what I do on my laptop (with the exception of Photoshop - I’ve misplaced my installation file, and since I downloaded it instead of getting a cd, I’m SOL for now) except when I’m at a client’s or slacking at a cafe.

Maybe it’s my imagination, but the house seems a little cleaner since I’ve been hogging her computer.  (That comment springs from the same psychological root as does “suicide by cop“)

The good news: I got a notice from Dell this morning by land, sea, air (at least by cell phone and email) that my laptop was shipped from their repair facility.  They only had it for a day.  So, my long national nightmare scenario will be over, either tomorrow or Monday.  It’ll be interesting to see if they repaired it or replaced it, but it will have little effect since I retained my hard drive.

Dang, if they’d kept it a little longer, the basement might have gotten cleaned.

  1. Quite a saga, Phil! Glad to know they’ve breathed life back into the corpse.

    Oh, & welcome to the slow but persistent migration from dear old Userland.

  2. It’s always interesting to see what we do with our time when our computers are not around. Glad you are getting your laptop back so soon. Although with this unbelievably clear and gorgeous weather, our laptops will probably gather dust while we’re out hiking around somewhere.

  3. You’re gonna need a resurrection after Mrs. P sees this…

  4. Phil:

    Thanks, Dick. So far, I like Wordpress a lot. My site seems a little slow today, though.

    Robin, we took a nice long walk yesterday, our usual to Gasworks Park and on to Fremont. I’ll post some pictures when I get my Photoshop back

    Kathy, she has hinted that she’s going to start a rating system for my posts based on rolling pins; This one would get this:
