Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

Yesterday the browser I was using got painfully slow ... then I fell asleep. So I'm still catching up to the folks who wished me a happy birthday (thanks!).

I'm starting to think that I should load up two computers with as much RAM as I can scrounge, dedicate one to nothing but web browsing and the other to nothing but photo editing, and always connact to those two machines via X from wherever I happen to be sitting when I want to do either of those things. Then maybe I wouldn't have the problem of various machines getting bogged down from hving too much memory-intensive stuff running at once. (As a side effect, if I use VNC along with X, I can have just one set of open windows/tabs for browsing, accessible from anywhere in the house, instead of being in the middle of these things in this room and having left off in the middle of those things in that room, and not wanting to open GIMP on this computer because I'd have to close all those open pages first to free enough RAM, etc.)

Yesterday I felt better enough, compared to the previous few days, to feel like I could get back up on the roof and try to shift the plastic back into place, taking advantage of the calm air[*]. But I also had enough sense to talk myself out of it, because there's a party I really want to go to tonight, and if I'd gone ahead and used up my spoons dealing with the roof, then today I would have felt as wretched as Tuesday and would not have been able to attend the party. So I rested for the sake of tonight's pleasure.

Alas, leg cramps kept me from sleeping well this morning, so I still ought to try for a nap this afternoon before going out to have fun this evening.
