Memes: January 2006 Archives

Blackbird has asked to see our computers for show and tell this week.

We have many machines in our house. They are all networked into a wireless network because I will not let Steven drill and knock holes in the floors and walls of this house like he did in the townhouse. The network is code named "Graceland".
	Our Network, code name Graceland, is run by a machine that Steven built many years ago. Her name is 'Cilla, in honor of Priscilla (the freshly married, black dyed hair, very young, wife of Elvis). She controls internet access, file shares and who knows what else. She runs 24/7 and is only shut down the week we go on vacation. On occassion she has to be rebooted due to power outages or something with the stupid cable company.
The companion that serves as a file server is known by the code name Red, in honor of Red West. Red is not running right now. I don't even think he has been running since we have been in this house, the reason why escapes me.
	Steven's workhorse, you-name-it it-is-on-there machine with tons of RAM is Elvis. This machine was the #1 machine when I met Steven. This is the macine he used to telecommute for work and the machine we chatted on for a month or so before a phone call was initiated.
His old laptop was LisaMarie but she has been retired as LisaMarie2 and his new laptop is now LisaMarie.
	Each of the girls have their own machines: Colby's is AnnMargaret
J's is NannerSammich
	Gracie's is HoundDog
I have 3 machines of my own. My HP Windows machine is Pink_Cadillac.
	My frankenmachine I built from an old HP I had that runs Linux is TheColonel.
My laptop I got for my birthday this past August is Memphis.

This is the machine I use every single day for every single purpose. I also share and the kids use it when they need a fast work horse game playing machine and are too lazy to go play on their own. It is a Toshiba Satellite P-35 S605 with a 17inch monitor. I love my laptop. Because my monitor has much real estate when I make graphics I often make them too large forgetting that I see things much smaller with my 1440x900 resolution. 800x600 seems soooo primitive now. I am now off to the doctor for my weekly fetal monitoring session. See you all later.
