Freda loved the snow yesterday. She cried when she had to come in. nyecamden visited too.

Today (Tuesday) is redcountess's seventh birthday (again). We are poor but loving, so I haven't got her present yet. I did, however, spend yesterday evening and this evening transplanting the screen from purplecthulhu's dead 550MHz TiBook to her 1GHz TiBook, using the guides from PowerBook Medic. It all went a bit Haynes and I had to reverse-engineer just what these two completely undocumented cables did, not to mention the helpful note that every screw in the thing except two is a T-8 Torx, and never mind they're all of different lengths and shaft diameters. Bring me the head of the psychotic fuckwit who designed this thing. Apple: beautiful hardware on the outside ... just never, ever look in the box.

It's been running 45 minutes now and hasn't melted. Call me Victor von Frankenbook. I was a bit worried about the heatsink connection. We'll see how it goes.

I am writing this from my Evo N410c which I let Liz put Windows on. Ew. I'm using Chrome, which is a very nice browser. There appear to be rather a lot of advertisements on this "web" thing you people use, though.

Yeah, the towers are nicer. Our G3s and G4s are a delight to work on.
