looking for AC adapter--Toshiba
Category: nerd
The AC adapter for my laptop is on the outs. I've taped it up several times to keep the exposed wires guts in place. So, eventually I will need a new one. In all probability--much much sooner than later. yikes.

Now, I know pretty much where and how to find one (ok, simple yahoo search), but I have some questions.

I need a Toshiba Tecra A series ac adapter- PA3283U-1ACA. I know some are compatible, some are not- like, I don't need that particular one. I'm looking for cheap. I'm finding some in the range right now of 25-60 bucks plus shipping. I want cheaper if possible.

Now, my question is.. is there somewhere in particular (online or physical store) that I should buy from? And... is there some universal sort of adapter that I may not be aware of.. or a place I can buy just the piece I need (the part that plugs into the laptop is beat). Or something I can hack, splice, cram together with chewing gum? So I toss it out to you, fair peeps. Must be somethiing I havent thought of!

thank you in advance

:)

ooh, hey, thanks (e:tinypliny) I appreciate your input :) I'll give a little snoop around ebay first!

I did a quick search and Ebay seems to have tons of people selling Tecra adapters for cheap. Many of these should cost you <$15 with shipping. If you feel like you can't trust Ebay, here is an online dealer who has Tecra adapters: :::link:::

I am not sure how trustworthy this dealer is though.

anyhoo, I got a kick out of it. Good brainless time waster :)

there are a few sites that host this sort of creativity. The Cheezburger one is primarily cats-- lolcats but also loldogs lol--whatever the case may be.
so if feeling inclined to make your own..

I get a kick out of these, especially the cat with flaror, the mouse with corm, and the dog with the comb over. Too silly.
lilho - 08/01/07 00:21
lol. some i dont like, but i like the animals "that has a flavor", i'd like to think i has a flavor as well.
leetee - 07/31/07 23:06
Indeed, i totally recognize it. Posted about this very silly giggle inspiring site just about a month or so ago ( (e:LeeTee,39744) ) and have it listed in my fav links. I am totally digging your selection, (e:Theecarey)!

Those are bare arms, and thats not hair!!
image

my pink watch is now reddish brown, along with everything down to my toes.
image

my shirt used to be white. and yes, thats mulch and again, not hair :X
image

make the tiniest bisque ever served
theecarey - 07/30/07 22:21
yup yup, its a bug. Well, its not a hummingbird, anyway- I had initially wondered the same thing. But it has a fish face.. and now you mention it, it does look like a lobster. Its about an inch and a half? That thing is SO weird. Maybe some mutation..


jenks - 07/30/07 22:16
is that a bug? or a hummingbird?
It kind of looks like a flying lobster.

last weekend of July
I'm about to lay out 13 yards of mulch. This should be a trip-- or atleast one hell of a work out. I aim to start bright and early tomorrow as there doesn't seem to be much to entertain me late into the evening hours tonight. A walk, some reading and then perhaps early to bed; unless something else comes up..

Yesterday, I spent time with Dana at Starbucks. We plotted mid winter get- aways ( lil warmth and sunshine). And lusted over thoughts of wandering around NYC, which I aim to head out in the near future, if I can. We also spoke of possibly heading to the Adirondacks this season for a couple of days- and staying with her Grandmother (?) This would be, Back Bay, if I recall correctly. There is the main house then the guest house and bungalow. Very cool place-- havent been there since the summer I was turning 13. WOW! The building that this Starbucks is in, is a hotel, had a fire alarm go off and we had to evacuate- for me, it was mid order. I wanted my goods before heading out, but that didn't happen. I stood pining away for my drink as we waited for the clear to go back in.

Later on last night, an impromptu visit from Lynn led us to the usual silliness and deep life conversations that typically come with us hanging out. She had called me just prior to to coming over with the comment, "I'm leaving Damian". Which I quickly retorted, "awee. *pause* Cool, can I have him?" followed by giggles. She's always trying to get rid of him (jokingly) and offering him to me. Or when she is being rather mean, I offer to take him as well. Or when he wants to get rid of her for a day, he tosses her my way. Its funny, really. So I knew when she said she was leaving him, that she meant that she was coming over to see me and would be staying the night, given the time. They've been together forever and I see them together forever more. They balance each other well and I am friends with both of them, so its a huge bonus.

Today, some outside work, chilling with friends, screwing around on the computers trying to figure stuff out and then some more outside work- including window washing. Did I mention how good I am at that? haha. Not a bad day at all, but not too thrilling, either.

Looking at everyones veggie plants growing, I am still kicking myself for not putting in at least a few veggies. I'm telling myself- next year for sure! In the meantime, I hit up one of the local farms, I'm loving the tomatoes, blueberries and raspberries right now.

Well, before it gets to dark, I'm going back outside for a bit. The chirping birds are kind of relaxing, a nice back drop while I settle my nerves, bouncing thoughts and so forth.

I could check to see whats going on amongst the Regatta folks. I figured I would have wandered down to see the yacht races today, but the day didn't work out that way. I havent really heard anyone with my being right down the street from the action. The evening is just beginning and that is sure to all change..

Hope all is well and that the Garden Walk and after-gathering at PMTs was splendid!
