Some Random Website Noise
Saturday, I told my gentle and loving wife that part of my plan for the day was to replace the CMOS battery on my desktop's motherboard.
"Will that," she asked me in the same tone she uses to ask "Why are you waggling around a miniature plastic guitar and shouting 'I'm ZZ Top!' while wearing only your boxers at 2 AM" or "Are you really going to put that bacon cheeseburger in between two Krispy Kreme donuts for the sake of science?" - but I digress - "Will that keep your computer from making that FNNNARRRRR sound it does every time you boot it up?"
"No", I said, because it's the boot drive that goes FNNNARRRRR and always has.
"Right. Get dressed."
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"Never you mind," she replied. "Just get in the car."
Which, in suitably edited form, is how I ended up with an iMac.
Another time, I may discuss why I'm more of a blunt-force-trauma adopter than a bleeding edge kind of guy, but that's neither here nor there. Instead, what Macifying means is that I finally have run out of excuses when it comes to updating my website, among other things. (For one thing, it's a lot quicker when I don't have to wrangle raw HTML as something makes FNNNARRRRR noises in the background.) So, in the near future you can expect:
An updated and revamped Snowbird Gothic, aka richarddansky.comA fresh exhumation of all of the Five for Writing interviews, and, if I'm feeling particularly energetic, a new take on the series.Regular updatesPlus more good stuff.
So if you don't see that within the next couple of weeks, feel free to castigate me relentlessly and publicly.
