That was pretty fricken cool.

Moved another 500-ish records out of my living room.

I used to play Scorched Earth 15ish years ago. That game could cause friendships to be called into question.

Being dyslexic, I make typos and other mistakes all the time. Especially when I'm tired and, uh, have recently endangered my own life. I usually proofread any post I make, twice. Plenty or errors still get through. Your mockery actually wasn't that un-funny, I've just been itching to use that graphic, and Mr. Baguette has been quiet today. That emoticon was appropriate after all...

I don't even know what that last emoticon means, but it's too bizarre not to use.

I only moved 250 of the ~2500 records in my living room today, and even that took several hours. I had to first empty one of the my record shelves, make space for it in another room, then set it up and level it with shims (of the joys of owning an old hours.) It got sick of working inside, so I went out and did some limbing with my chainsaw. I nearly ran myself out of talent there at the end. I took out a couple tall but very thin trees, and one 25-footer wast attached to another ~35-40-footer by these nasty vines. I ended up with the top third of the tree I cut down swinging from the taller tree, which was leaning over ominously. Worse still, the whole damn thing was pointed in the general direction of the bay window in my liver room. Fortunately, I was able to hack off a few 5' pieces of the tree I cut, and drag the rest of it in the opposite direction of the house. Eventually the vines snapped, and both me and the bay window survived. In the words of Strong Bad, look who thinks he's Clever Dan.

Move 2-3000 records out of my living room so that the contractors can access the south wall on Tuesday.

Did I read that correctly? Did you say place the switch panel's plug into the surge protector's outlet, or place the surge protector's outlet over and around the switch panel's plug? I'm a simple man; I do not possess an engineering degree nor am I mechanically inclined. Sorry to have taken up so much of your time. Please continue with the wonderful safety lecture technical description. (with apologies to the late, great George Carlin)

Check the top item on this page. It ain't high end audio, but it'll give you eight individually switched outlets. That plus 8 of the abovementioned extension cords will do what you're describing.

I got a bunch of 1 foot extension cords from monoprice. They turn any surge protector into a squid, as needed.

No, that's

Yes, and...? It's quite possible to insert an image from Flickr into a message: Today's test subject, Geir Jenssen. What's not working is posting a URL to the actualy Flickr page. like this: [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/ultravod/2803507947/]Link to photo page[/url].

My bad about the spoiler tags, but yes the movie sucks. There's not much to spoil, really.

I should point out that Greg has his personal office (which has a paltry four monitors, IIRC) and the rig I showed above is the, uh, GRID computer. He also has a pair of Senns, but I don't know which model. Certainly not 650s. As an aside, it's now difficult or impossible to link to a Flickr photo page when composing in the advanced editor. The head case software tries to embed the page like a YouTube video and generates an error. 091507_Biosphere_RML12 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!@@AMEPARAM@@http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3288/2803507947_d99154ab0d.jpg?v=0@@AMEPARAM@@2803507947@@AMEPARAM@@d99154ab0d
