thegrrrl2002I am posting this from my brandy new computer. Well, it's new to me. It's actually a used computer, but more than twice as fast as my old one. Woo! I can run GIMP and Windows Media Player at the same time without it keeling over. 'Tis very exciting. It took me the entire weekend to figure out how to network this new one to my old one, in order to transfer files (tons of screencaps and music). It nearly ended in tears, because of various software issues, but then suddenly I had a virtual private network and all was good.
The other problem is that it was sent with broken CDRW drive. ::headdesk:: I've dealt with this company before, and they've always been reliable, so I'm assuming there won't be any issue replacing it.
All in all, it's taken up my entire weekend to load software and configure and buy cables for networking so remind me to never do this again, okay?
In the meanwhile, I finished up a small collection of Ronon icons to share. Because really, he's quite pretty. Free to a good home, please feel free to take and use. Credit is nice, but not necessary.

Date: 2005-10-02 07:35 pm (UTC)Ronon is very pretty. We were discussing possible pool boys last night and decided that Jason Momoa would make a good one. He's certainly got the looks for it.
And I'd have other things for DH to do.

Date: 2005-10-02 09:15 pm (UTC)Was it a fun party? If you were discussing pool boys, then I'm thinking it was. *g*

Date: 2005-10-02 10:19 pm (UTC)And we played Apples to Apples with shots. One of the guests suggested kissing in place of the shots, but we all just stared at her. Yes, I was thinking, "you are not turning my party into an orgy." I don't necessarily object to group sex, but I had just cleaned the living room. /g/
There was much laughter, discussion of what we would do if we had a dick. Well, the women discussed this. We would all get blowjobs, in case you were wondering. And the phrase "Canadian nipples" came up a lot. Every time it did, I thought of DH.
Oh, I have a new icon, too.

::snorts:: Is that a sign of getting old, or what? But you know, I so hear you.
And having a dick would come in handy for emergency peeing, wouldn't it?

I peeked at your icons on your user page, Big Damn Hero, LOL! I like that one. I like all the new ones. They are such intrepid explorers, aren't they?

Date: 2005-10-03 03:53 pm (UTC)Mostly each other.
And the big damn hero with him eating had to be done. It just had to be.

Date: 2005-10-02 09:21 pm (UTC)I don't so much want a new computer, I just want to jazz up the one I've already got. Not that I would turn DOWN a new one, you understand. I'm hoping for a laptop soon. I've never had a laptop before.
You should keep your two hooked up and use the old one for backups. Unless you have plans for that one already.

Date: 2005-10-03 03:02 pm (UTC)And there's so much stuff I need to burn to CD. It's a little awkward doing it here at work all the time.
I thought about getting a laptop, but they're more expensive, even used. And I'm a little dubious about buying one used, because they're sure to be beat up more than a desktop would be. My system cost $300, and it's a 1.8 Ghz machine. I know I couldn't get that in a laptop version.
I would love to keep the two computers hooked up, but there really isn't any room on my desk. But I'm going to hang onto it.

Date: 2005-10-03 06:42 pm (UTC)The new shiny computer and new lovely icons look v. good on you, though! Not taking any icons atm, but that is one fine looking man. Mmmmm....

Date: 2005-10-03 10:12 pm (UTC)And thank you! Ronon is definitely one pretty man. I didn't expect to like him as much as I do--the writers and the actor have done wonderful things with his characterization.

Thank you in advance, :-)
