stripping...

...wire is really time consuming. I think it is left best as a third world enterprise.

I had all this wire I ripped off the house after moving the server.

I spent several hours, got about 1/10th of the way through the wire pile and ended up with like 1lb of copper which is worth about $4.50 on the open market.

Luckily, Its projected to go up 2 cents over the next two months. In the meantime I am going to make myself the largest copper ball ever.

Deal!

I'll trade you for Indian food.

tinypliny - 07/02/11 00:32
Do you think I could buy a lb or 2 off you?

tinypliny - 04/09/11 23:21
You could melt it all into a copper bowl. I hear the copper bowls are the best for whipping cream and beating eggs (if you are using elbow grease and a hand whisk).

tinypliny - 04/09/11 23:19
Wait - why were you doing this? Why not just store them as they were in a coil?

Thank you for not burning off the plastic.

Rice bowl and crunch bang
Category: food

(e:tinypliny) and I made yummy rice bowls and played with crunch bang Linux. She just left now after we talked about my work projects, genetics, the history of Hinduism, the war between China and India, ghandi, mother Theresa. Harold Krishna's, the Ainu people of Japan, Muslims, early American slave diets, Marco Polo and the server.

This is crunchbang linux, (e:tinypliny) loves it.

You are totally forgetting the whole relevance-of-dreams-and-serendipity in the chemistry of benzene, structure of stainless steel, nickel in dentures, cancer clusters, litigation culture in the US, radiation and cancer, chernobyl aftermath, Japan, planned parenthood, ridiculous military expenses and shady contracts, international and government-level conspiracy theories, satellite spying, search engines, the AOL interface, ad targeting in gmail, bridgestone commercials, more tablet choices, computing platforms and the "Sleepless Elite" - :::link::: of which I am SO not a part! :)

Thanks so much for literally chasing me down. I had SO MUCH fun and the food was super-delicious!

I hope you get some sleep! :)

Server in a new home
Category: estrip

The tortoise room closet was just too warm so the server has moved to the dungeon. Its a little bit dank but dry and cold. Considering the ld server survived the artvoice basement's water and plague of bugs that lived in it, I don't have much fear.

tinypliny - 04/08/11 14:36
Imagine all those voices stored so very compactly!

tinypliny - 04/08/11 14:35
Heh, I have always wanted to see the physical place where all my virtual rants are stored.... NOW I CAN!!!!!!!

For Leetee
Category: clothes

I saw this girl wearing chuck Taylor hightop stockings. I thought you would like them.

tinypliny - 04/08/11 17:43
I wouldn't have even known those were special - so those football socks like things are actually part of the shoe? How inconvenient?

leetee - 04/07/11 23:11
Thanks Paul! :o)

At the DSW @ The Mall Of America in Bloomington, MN, we aw converse high top shoes with a big sock attached....

New server room
Category: estrip

The only problem might be temperature in that small space. I might need to move it to the attic.

The phoenix rising from the ashes?

paul - 04/07/11 17:23
Yup. Time warner finally came out with a 5mbps up plan.

enknot - 04/07/11 13:34

KeithT - 04/07/11 12:23
Hahahaha an hour? o.0 Did you use your feet?

paul - 04/07/11 12:00
Ya it took me like an hour to clean all the ashes.

KeithT - 04/07/11 11:34
