Well that's good. Fantastic. That gives us 20 minutes to save the world and I've got a post office. And it's shut!

Engrossing, ain't they, those cute lil' imaginary people?
I have had to put my disk away because I'm not getting any work done. Heh.

Birthday Presents And The New Economy
So, as well as the huge party and all the money (thanks guys!), I also got several new computers, a house, a family, and a new job.
Curiously enough, all of them are virtual.
The party was on the MuNu forums (big thanks to Susie and Renata); the money was pengos, the Munuvian currency (slightly pointless since I own and operate the mint, but the thought is appreciated), the new computers come courtesy of Microsoft Virtual PC, the house and family come bundled with The Sims 2, and the new job is...
Well, the new job is interesting. I'm now working for an ISP again, after a break of several years. But I haven't left my old job, it's just that we now have an internet division. Except that we don't really have an internet division; it's all, well, virtual. All we do is run a web server and handle level one tech support* - and billing - and everything else just sort of happens.**
Strange place, this 21st century of ours.
* Is your computer turned on?
** Yeah, right.

I wanted to decorate with black baloons and crepe paper, but Renata wouldn't let me! ;)

We have several newly functioning old computers (Brian's tinkering with Linux again, stuck in VI and in pain) - does that count for anything?
Sorry I missed the b-day - Happy belated birthday.

Birthday Song
Happy birthday to me!
Happy birthday to me!
All hard disk drives suck,
As does Windows XP!
Mmm, chocolate...
The nicest present I got today was this:
20-year-old girl at office: (Sings) Happy birthday to you!
You're a hundred and two!
Me: Thanks!
Girl: So how old are you?
Me: Thirty-eight.
Girl: No, how old are you really?

Happy Birthday, Pixy. I was trying to figure out a way to wish you a HBD in a quiet way that would surprise you. Like a simple trackback, but it didn't go through.
Still, I hope it was wonderful and joyous day!

Well, I'm late - at least from your side of the world - on my side, it's still the 20th. Happy Birthday!!! Hope you got loads of nice presents. *grin* But at the very least you have loads of wonderful birthday wishes from all of us bloggers out here spewing words.

Blub
Had a power outage here at Pixy Central this morning, and my two main computers are still sulking. Yuri, my Linux box, has at least come out of its room and is willing to talk (albeit in monosyllables); Kei, my Windows box, still refuses to open the door.
I'll be back in a bit.
Honey, could you pass me that wrench? No, the big one.

Just go to the door and say in a loud, clear voice, "don't make me get OS X!"
Works every time.

I Can't Believe It's Not Butter
Maybe I need to arrange a side by side taste-test, because right now I can't taste any difference between triple cream brie and double cream brie.

Well, at least it wasn't
single cream brie! ;)

That's because triple cream brie is mostly butter with culture and mold.

Fifteen Minutes of Winter
Right outside my front door...
And down the steps...
The neighbourhood looks... different...

Well, at least
that's out of the way--although I supposed you still have the entertainment value of the SDL to look forward to, as they predict this means that the global warming caused by President Bush's policies in Iraq has now come to pass....;)

"Pixy Central"? As in: Pixy is in that picture?

Well, no. Since Pixy was behind the camera at the time. :)
That yellowy building with the red roof is where I live.

My first reaction: but it's summer! (Which makes me Americentric
and idiotic, since it's really fall--but September is always really warm in SoCal, and I'm still in shorts, flip flops, and a tank top.)
I assume this is really incredibly unusual, like snow in the non-mountanous parts of the U.S. Southwest? I tend to think of Australia in monolithic terms, unfortunately, and conceive of it as slightly less hellishly hot than in our local deserts.
I've seen snow on orange trees in two freak snowstorms in SoCal. Like I said: unusual. Twice in 42 years.
Your building looks almost like the faux Spanish style that every third house in SoCal is constructed in!
Thanks for the hail.

Holy Fucking Crap! My Goodness!
We're being shelled! No - no, it's hail. Holy crap!
And damn! The battery in my camera is flat! Damn damn! The whole park across the road is covered with hail, the roads, everything. Never seen anything like it.
Update: Good thing my camera charges fast! Photos should be along shortly.
Update: And my memory card was full. Let that be a lesson to you! Well, I charged the camera, copied everything off the memory card, and ran out again to take more pictures. The streets aren't covered with white anymore, but now there are people out enjoying our fifteen minutes of winter.
Pictures to follow.
Update: Help! My computer's broken!
Update: No, it's just the mouse. Bad mousie!
