So I go into the hospital for a cpl weeks, get cut, sawn, and stitched upon a bit, emerge a good bit the worse for wear, have to go back in for an encore performance, emerge thinking what the hell, Death CAN’T be THIS busy, can he? During this agonizing interregnum, natch, I avoided all things Innarnuts like the proverbial plague, knowing as I do that A) a thorough cleaning-out of the mental pipes is a good and necessary thing now and again, and B) my worn-out, Amazon’s Cheapest wired keyboard and mouse rig was due to give up the ghost at any moment.
When what to my wondering eyes did appear, upon my exit from Hospital Durance Vile and re-entry into what some poor deluded souls are pleased to kid themselves is the Real World, but a PayPal account that had, for reasons unknown to me, absolutely blown the fuck UP over the past weekend, rocketing from a running daily balance of, basically, zero (0) dollars and no (0) cents, up to a pretty hefty surplusage in nothing flat.
Pulled 40 bucks from the slush pile right away and headed back to the ‘Zon to see if a more satisfactory keyboard/mouse siuation might be arranged, whereupon I picked up this sweet little rig. Now all’s I gotta do is get used to the feel of the keyboard, which is definitely nowhere near as stiff and clunky as the old one was—with the added advantage that most, possibly even ALL, of the keys seem to work too. Yowza!
Many, many humble thanks to all you fine folks out there in Blogolandia, for all the many things you do and have always done for me over lo, these many years. Back to regular posting in a trice, soon as my head stops spinning like a spinning top.
Good to hear your account got funding, check again it *might* have increased a bit 🙂
Anything for a friend, thank Phil over at bustednuckles for informing us.
