WE's hard drive crashed and he was reduced to a floppy! (Friday nite WE thread!)

[Chris_]

I'm going to DC in a couple of weeks for training. 

I don't care if DC is a craphole, I love travelling.  'specially on someone else's dime. 

[Schadenfreude]

I gotta get me one of those light switchplates. That's just funny!!!

WE, you need to get something besides a flash drive. I finally coughed up the dough for a My Book terabyte storage unit. Works great. I just hope I never have to use it.

it was a 6GB flash drive that I got way back when they were "the latest thing".  it looks a lot like a zippo cigarette lighter.  I honest to God FREAKED when I thought I couldn't recover my LIFE from that thing.  I dutifully keep EVERYTHING in the same directory, just so I only have to backup one folder . . .

of course, being a lazy ass, I did have a bunch of stuff on my desktop that I DIDN'T back up that I lost.  and a lot of that was technical CC server stuff.  but I can recreate that.

6 gigglebits? 

[Wretched Excess]

It's just me and you Mia..... let's say we tear this Lounge up tonight.

Indeed, I'm stuck at work for another 2 hours 45 minutes.   

oh, how awful.  what time did your day start, again?

I got here at 11am today.      But I will be suffering through this "working" tomorrow too. 

11?  8 hours of honest work means . . . heh . . . that you should be getting off soon.

I bought one.

It didn't help.

I find any excuse to post that pic.   

I should search to find one, I'd love to use it in the slave room. 

umm . . . slave room?  have I missed something, or did you just admit that you have a "little habit" that would surprise all of us?

Someone said that in Austin you can't call them "Master Bedrooms" anymore, so I have a Master room and a Slave room.

Will you have any spare time to sight see? Some day I would like to take my family to DC.

laugh it up, baby.  I was FREAKING OUT when I couldn't get the silly flash drive to mount.  and, of course, I started trying it on every computer I could find . . . which is a lot of computers . . . which is also probably the worst thing you could ever attempt.

I laugh as well when someone's having problems mounting.

sounds like something you would hear at a dem convention . . . . or a really naughty web sight.  perhaps you should consider the parallels?

At night, at least.  I went to DC in '88 (I think).  We went after Christmas, and it was nice.  Well, except for the trash in the streets and some nutball driving around in a Ford Econoline with a loudspeaker on the top reading Louie Farahkan sermons about the White Devil.

somehow, I am guessing that laughter isn't exactly your response at a time like that.

Indeed, it's one of those silly "can't offend anyone" thingys.   

So, I call the guest room my "slave room."  It works, don't you think?

You don't remembe that?  The city of Austin decided that the master/slave terminoligy was racist and forbade their IT department from using it in memos and documentation.  (Or it might have been LA.  I have a poor memory for these things.)

I'm not the one with the bad floppy drive.

ABSOLUTELY go to the lincoln memorial.  I have had spontaneous tears in my eyes three times in my life;
returning to dodger stadium after 20 years, seeing the green monster at fenway, and the lincoln memorial.

no, you would be  . . . never mind . . .

I was going to make a pun on "serial port", but backed away.

[Chris_]

Serial, parallel... it's all good if you're gettin' some.

You are clearly smart and wise tonight.

mounting, ram drives.... my word, this thread is hellbound.

I am very seldom smart, and NEVER wise.  but I know that about me, and I try to deal with it.

Just be careful for things that go bump in the night.

don't act all surprised and stuff.
