My non-tweets

[scarfman]

The Twitter mirror function seems to have missed a day, maybe two. What have you missed?

• Saturday afternoon the recently repaired laptop ceased drawing power again after about a week and a half. I went to my office for the USB drive that I use for offsite backup for all my files, and updated it from the malfunctioning laptop ("The Third") which still has an hour or two of battery power on it. Then, since the temporary laptop I had been using ("K-9") became qtrhorserider's primary laptop once I was done with it, I assumed as my new temporary laptop the laptop that had been qtrhorserider's primary laptop ("Mr. Smith"). Mr. Smith doesn't seem to run quite as slow for what I do as for what she does, which is good, but there's no room on the hard drive to make working copies of my files. So I am obliged for the duration of the current crisis to make the USB drive the working copy of my fileset, and to back it up weekly to the tower connected to the tv ("Adric"); and, since the backup isn't mobile, to carry the USB drive with me when I leave the house to minimize the chances of loss of both work and backup.
  The repair guy says he'll look at The Third again, under warranty from the previous work.
  The good news is, this time my music is backed up.
• Due to computer issues AKOTAS published two days of filler, and despite plans nothing new appeared at The Hero of Three faces or its tumblr.
• Saturday before the computer issues I tweeted that my right lower eyelid was twitching, cuz I like to track here which one it is when that happens.

Let's see if there's a mirror post today. Usually they come at noon.
