National Silly Clocks day, autumn edition
Spring ahead, fall back. Problem is, we live so far east we should be in the Maritime Zone with New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Daylight Savings Time just puts us close to _real_ time. What idiot put Maine in the same time zone as Michigan? And my digital watch does _not_ reset automatically.
In other news, this computer made a funny fan noise when I started it up this morning. Don't know if it was the case fan or the power supply fan, but I shut down and restarted a few times and the noise went away. And the processor hasn't cooked . . . yet. The machine is a 300 mhz pentium, Win98 just when 98 was first released, and it really doesn't owe me much. But I hadn't planned on shopping for computers anytime soon. May get a Mac next time, get away from the eternal updates and virus attacks. Of course, if there were enough Macs out there to make it worth a punk's time, there'd be viruses and worms and spyware for the Mac.
Don't need a fancy computer. Word processing, simple accounting, and simple digital photo processing. And solitaire. Does the Mac have a solitaire game?
Gray, damp, not actually raining this morning, temps supposed to reach 60 F -- maybe the last time we see 60s until next April.

Anyway, the fan still seems to be working. We'll see what happens when I start up tomorrow morning.
(Yes, everything important is backed up. And it isn't the hard drive flaking out, anyway.)

I like Linux. No blue screens and things just work and I don't have to reboot to get resources back. I like the games I can get too. I really like not having to pay Bill Gates money for something that irritates me.
