Another Day With Ones and Zeroes

[bjarvis]

Kent is off to his role-playing game in Fairfax so I have the day to myself to putter around the house. This is my one time per month to force order onto the chaos of our household without domestic interference so I take full advantage.

The washing machine & dryer are currently busy doing my bidding & our bedding. I've finally dug out a space for the Mac Classic and the Commodore SX-64 in the back office so they're no longer in my computer room. Kent's XP workstation is digitizing the latest square dance music purchases, my XP workstation is sorting & indexing my porn collection (now 112,000 images), the Linux box is busy running automatic backups and the iMac is blasting out Patsy Cline via iTunes as I type this entry. God, I love being a geek.

I still have to sort out the accumulated papers on the coffee table, update QuickBooks with the latest square dance income/expense items and stuff a dozen envelopes of photos into an album. Whee.

Yabbut...do you have speakers in your bathroom, powered by an Airport, so you can have your iTunes follow you as you shower, shampoo, and all the other "sh" words one does in a Water Closet?

Nope, I keep the geek toys confined to the computer room & office. I'm not particularly into music or video so having either follow me around the house is more effort & money than its worth. I suppose I'm kinda a neo-Luddite... I like appliances to be single-purpose rather than combining them into multi-functional toys. I'm content to have my computer be a computer rather than also attempt to be my VCR, my TV, my dishwasher, etc.. iTunes is the one concession I make because it's such a fabulous little system.

Then I probably shouldn't mention my Happauage USB TV tuner, nor the fact that at our recent Halloween party Bryon and I used the computers and Airports to broadcast our "party soundtrack" throughout the house simultaneously to four different sets of speakers, right? LOL
