My wife's and my computers and surrounding desk areas. Can't you imagine us both just sitting here, geeking away? Doesn't that make you sad?

This week's theme was: I is for Invention
I've had this keyboard since the 90s and I still love it. It needs a couple of converters these days so I can connect it to my new computer thanks to the invention of these converters. :-)
Helped Aviana with her math homework tonight, and realized how much of this stuff I'd forgotten!
Day 102 of my 365 project for 2015.
As promised in "Birthday Present from Alex and Tabitha!" here are the minifigs I also got from them. Both are from Series 7.
I received this in the mail yesterday from mom. There was just one piece of paper… a receipt from a computer repair place with a description of the problem and a hand-written note from my mom. You may need to view the larger version to read it. My parents make me laugh sometimes.

The P.E. teacher gave me a red pocket pedometer holder. It was the perfect solution for storing computer mice for the mobile laptop cart. This system makes it very easy for my primary kids to access.

Ink cartridges in a Canon Pixma printer. This thing turns out great photo prints, but the ink is pretty expensive.

My friend Daria & her cross-eyed rescue cat where featured in the Daily Mail, Telegraph & Sun today!
Wow this was a trip down memory lane. My brother in law arrived today with his old computer under his arm. "Can you get my book collection inventory off this please?" You know the drill I'm sure. No monitor, keyboard or mouse. I keep a spare monitor handy, but the PS2 keyboard and mouse are buried in the container somewhere & I have a dozen people to feed. A quick phone call and a friend arrives with those.
I fire it up. It promptly throws up several dozen error messages then the desktop crashes. The computer is still running though. AV throws up several warnings about viruses and trojans before that too crashes. Hmm. Win98. I have a copy of that lying around somewhere. Install over the top. No go. It keeps all the old C#$P and still misbehaves. OK so I install to a new directory. It asks for key. That's somewhere in the container too. Sigh. back to the old copy to try and get the key from that before it dies. No joy.
Hang on I have a couple of old computers in the office. One is a desktop and one is a server. I try the desktop first. It boots Yay! but it comes up with Windows Server 2000 WTF??? Luckily I remember the password I used back then. I look inside. It is actually a hacked desktop running a couple of SCSI-W drives. But there is an IDE cable going off to the CD-ROM. It has an extra plug on it. Brilliant. Drop in the sus drive. Both HDD and CD fail. Yep CD works on its own. OK lets play with jumpers. Move CD to Slave position Both work, but the HDD comes in as drive C, thus booting the very RS Win98. More playing with jumpers. Eventually I discover a combo that allows the HDD to come up as the slave, and that allows the SCSI drive to boot normally. And it sees the HDD. AND a thumb drive.
A quick check and the needed file is there and appears to be intact. Copy to the thumb drive and remove to a newer beast. No known viruses on these files, so I load them with the application. Crash. Hang on. I wrote this app. A little tweaking and I get the file to read. Why was I so anal about security back in the day? Sigh. Luckily I kept the old security keys handy. I doubt I remember enough to hack the security the hard way.
