mrsbrownI've spent quite a lot of time playing with my new laptop. Setting up Firefox just the way I want it, with ImageZoom, the Livejournal addin and a new one - Piclens, which gives you a groovy wall of photos when you're on a page with lots of photos, like Flickr.
I had a fun time yesterday, working out how to make a gallery of my home photos, on my home folders, to have rss coding so I could look at them the same way.
I also installed Xnview and VLC. I had to install Realplayer so I could play "This little piggy" for Rose. Rose likes the new laptop too. We've played the Auslan dubbed (?) story Farmer Maurice's Old Hat at least twice and Rose can manage the touchpad so much better than a mouse.
At the market in the morning I bought a box of avocados, for $2. Then I realised I needed limes, so I bought a box of them too, for $2. What do I do now? Besides make guacomole and Kaprushkas?
Last night was my cousin's 21st birthday family dinner, I cried as my aunt spoke of her pride and love of her son. Now the pressure's on for me to behave similarly next year. And can I do it again for each of my children? Or will I get blase and treat Sneetch's 21st as "just another speech"?
Today was notMonthly Bash, and we had some people over. We think we've solved the gutta (pronounced goo-ta) problem for the silk painting so it should be all systems go.
