It’s a work in progress but everything should work now

 

OSG's on the wing, coming home from Montreal Worldcon…

She says she had a wonderful time, but she wants her kittehs and her own bed. We're going to pick her up at the airport, since OSGuy is at work. We have her house keys.  Heh. But we're out of resources to do the reception number on her house that she did on ours. The...

Not much, except that nothing exploded today. That’s a good day.

The fish tank lights are working. The fish are fine. I got a little work done. Tomorrow I'm planning to really bear down and get going. We've had glorious weather: 72 to 85 degrees daytime, in August, no less. I went out and watered everything, just because I could....

how to start a reef tank

You're probably tired of my rant about trackpoints... :lol:... But for those of you who are interested, this is how to start/run a marine tank. There are 2 paths: 1, an all-in-one, an aquapod or its ilk: will handle gobies and blennies, hermits; or---2 percula or...

An online survey by users show a majority prefer a trackpoint (pointing stick) mouse. Reviewers are 90 percent otherwise. What's wrong with this picture. I went out to various sites to look at laptops...and all the help-me-choose features completely omit the pointing...

Annnddd….the new light blew out. Back to the fish store…

Couldn't believe it. It burned for 4 hours and died. We now have a new lamp, and we took the metal halide's ballast apart to be sure the starter hadn't blown. Must have been new-thingie-syndrome. One more trip to the Valley, but this time at least we came back without...

We knew the fish tank ballast had blown; then we discovered…

...after getting a new one..(or its parts)...it didn't fit. We did get a foxfaced rabbitfish (one-spot variety) to eat the cursed caulerpa weed (see Discovery Channel: Killer Algae) which has been the bane of this tank setup. But the tang hated him. We got him because...

Still moving slowly

I got a little work done this morning. We went out shopping for hose washers (yep) so we don't have a leak in the back yard. But a little after that I came down with a rare case of the hungries...I mean, if I didn't get food in the next fifteen minutes, I was going to...
