The kids broke up from school today. This week has been hectic for a number of reasons, primarily school related. Assemblies to attend and weird pick up times.<\/p>\n

I took the kids down to Lake Windermere to feed the ducks (and swans, geese, pigeons, doves, etc…) How the kids don’t develop a complex aka ‘The Birds’ is beyond me, especially as some of those Swans are about the same size as them!<\/p>\n

  2. I installed another 128 MB of RAM in the Indigo 2, taking it to a show stopping 256 MB. A doubling of capacity!

  3. I posted my hardware info<\/a> to Nekochan. Any discerning SGI owner should be an avid supporter of all things Nekochan, it’s where the cool kids hang out.<\/li>\n
  4. I used the ‘Envelope’ facility of WordPerfect to print an address label. I know, staggering stuff…<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
