I've been a busy beaver the last few weeks, thus the utter lack of blogging. So here's what's been keeping me busy...

Pictures!

I revamped the photo galleries here. I added tags and commenting among other things. For your convenience I put the date of the last picture added in the sidebar on each blog and an rss feed for all the pics...

Dell

My laptop died a few weeks ago. The good news is that it is still under warranty. I was pretty impressed with their customer service, here's what happened...

It stopped working on Tuesday April 3rd. I had done our taxes on it and hadn't printed them yet so I was hoping and praying to get it back before I had to pay my taxes, really did want to have to do them again. I called them on Wednesday, after they had me do a few tests to make sure it was really really dead they said they would send me a box which I could use to send it back to them. On Thursday I got the box and sent it back. On Friday I got a call from them telling me they had received it and would let me know when they had found the problem. On Monday (after Easter) I was hoping they would fix it and maybe mail it on Tuesday. I was quite surprised to see the DHL truck pull into my driveway with my laptop. Five days after I called them (three business days) I had my laptop back, good as new.

Geo

After many years (7) of loyal service and fun, the Geo and I have parted ways. It was a mutual decision and we are committed to remain friends... Well, I suppose since we sold him to a guy in Gresham, we won't so much be friends, but I'll always remember ol' metro fondly. Many good memories in that car. The timing was great, we needed him the last few weeks as the Honda was in the shop. More on that later...
