I’m taking some time out before my dinner ritual to update the blog on my going-on’s. This is written on my now-trusty iPhone.

First, the power supply is being shipped and should be here by Monday. This is according to the guy who runs Mac-n-PC-Specialist.com when I spoke to him over the phone today. As you may imagine, I’m itching to install it and (hopefully) have my iMac running again. Yes, this iPhone may have been a lifesaver, but it has its limits without the computer and the library metadata it’s attached to. It’s in sore need of an OS update, the phone’s data needs to be backed up in case something else catastrophic happens, and I’d like to switch out some music, all of which I can’t do on Christine’s computer without wiping the phone’s files completely. I’m glad my external drive has backups of my files (thanks Time Machine!), but that will be a last ditch effort, since those backups don’t include the iPhone metadata.

Work is still going well, so no big problems there… although, I was sad to see one manager leave for another location in another state. This guy will be missed; he was well-loved by the majority, an enviable position for any leader. If he’s reading this, I bid him godspeed.

Let it be known that my new phone hasn’t detracted from my puzzle hobby. I’m having a lot of fun with the V-7 Cube and the Pyraminx Crystal. Getting my solve times down has certainly been a challenge, and I hope to make some solve videos soon. Of course, that’s if the computer comes back from the dead, in which case I have two vids that I was working on to complete and post.

I’m finally breaking down and getting a cholesterol test tomorrow. Yay. Christine really wants to find out how I’m doing in this area. She’s had to lay off the juicy burgers since her test. Hopefully, mine will turn out ok, but I’m also hoping that her next test will fare better so that we’ll be able to enjoy the occasional greaseball.

Everything else is good here. The house is fine, just need to get on the ball with small upgrades. The birds are doing good, with Thommen having some attitude problems. All in all, I can’t complain a bit.

Cheers!
