Topicless thread

They'd agree with you on the fact that my uncle's a tool.

Even though it's already been said, the first computer I ever used was my dad's Mac Classic.  It was secondhand from my uncle who bought it while still in college and dad used it to write sermons and play games.  Dad has kept up pretty close with how computers function but he does ask me to show him things if he doesn't know what to do.  Mom actually got a netbook a few years ago so she can do what little she does online.  Mostly she just uses her work computer for work things.  Medical records, keeping track of studies, etc.

I start work Tuesday, but today I went to the local model railroad show for the first time in like five years.  They've moved hosts/venues so I wasn't super sure what to expect but things were actually pretty good.  I paid more then I should have for some timetables I wanted, especially since the guy was an asshole, but then as I was leaving got an amazing deal on some others.  First thing I bought was something for my brother since this is the first year he's ever missed.  A Proto 2000 (high end series)  SW9/1200 for $20 that may need some wheel cleaning or a little electrical work but at $20 there's a lot of room to spend on repairs before hitting it's value.  I'll put pictures of stuff over in MPT whenever I get them taken.

Remember when I said that I would have the room in my school with good wifi?

That didn't happen. What did happen was that I got sent to the library. I used my time wisely and got a lot of the redux of the Windows 1.X-tan drawing done. :3

That's good, at least :3

I'm about to have lunch

EDIT: This was a surprise. That corset I ordered did arrive, even though I was never charged for it from what I can tell; I hope this doesn't mean I'll be slapped with a surprise charge out of nowhere

[Chocofreak13]

Ouch, I hope not. Maybe you could look for an 800 number on their site you can call to ask about. :\

[Nichi]

I'm kinda afraid to ask them; in case they do realize "oh crap; we never received your money" and then charge me the price out of nowhere, which would overdraw my bank account right now ;_;

I do remember that time that a purchase I made seemingly never went through; I bought a bottle of orange juice and something else, and the charge never showed up at my bank, so I basically got that $10 purchase for free somehow.

Good luck with everything Pent. :/

And Stew, it sounds like you had a lot of fun at the model train show. Can't wait to see pics. ^^
It also sounds like out computer use trajectories are the opposite; you went from Mac to Windows and I went from Windows to Mac. -w-

I want a new forum signature but idk what to use. There was one graphic I tried out yesterday but it was too fuzzy at small size/resolution.

[Nichi]

Thanks. Hopefully nothing will go wrong with this :[
(Also, Stew posted some pics of what he found in Member Pics. It's the post before mine)

I've considered changing my sig pic, but IDK; I have used this same one for several years already, but I don't know what to change it to.

So, I've started to consider once more clearing out some unwanted clothes from the trap wardrobe; as the drawer and closet are getting a bit full. Might go through sometime and figure out if there's anything I want to get rid of, and then go from there.

[Bella]

Darn it, I missed them. I'll go look though.

Decided to keep my signature in theme with avatar. ^^

(The DEC signature/avatar combo had a good run anyway ... what was it, like a year?)

[Nichi]

Looks good to me :3

I hope work goes well tonight. Not like last Monday :\

[Cockleshell]

My first computer memory was that of my getting on my father's Windows 98 SE extremely old Thinkpad, clicking a few buttons, i DISTINCTLY REMEMBER deleting all his old work emails... On outlook. Something like that. He was pissed. I was a bad kid from the start...

[stewartsage]

I seldom change signatures on any forum.  Usually I find a combo that works and stick with it.

[Nichi]

I just changed mine; a favorite quote from Super Mario RPG -w-

[Cockleshell]

Is it masochistic at all that I set my phone alarm for 5AM and lay in bed on the Internet before having to get up properly at 6:25?

[winduko]

To me, nope. But I'm too used to just properly getting out of bed at 5 am on a school day and getting on the internet while doing the things I do in the morning, so it doesn't sound masochistic to me at all.

For the record, my bus gets here at 6:45-6:50, so I have to be off the computer by 6:30 and out the door by 6:35.
