I attended my very first Swapfest today. I got an extension cord for my keyboard so that I can use it up in my bed if I’m listening to music, etc., while up there. It was only a dollar, which is $16 less than what Best Buy wanted. Also got a DVD drive for my desktop because mine has been mysteriously broken for a while.

the-major (the IBM thinkpad) is now set up, named after the lovely Major Kusanagi. I’m running XFCE rather than GNOME, but so far everything is working fine, including wireless (yay). Battery life is also very decent. theshortjedi (my other laptop) has really crappy battery life so this computer is a good alternative to take to places without power.

I took a few pictures of my room, for those that might be reading that haven’t seen it yet. They can be found here.

This weekend has been really action packed, but I am freaking exhausted because I’ve gotten about 9 hours total Friday and Saturday nights, and I’m not used to doing that kind of thing anymore. I’ve been listening to more The End of Faith, so I’ll blog about the book sometime later this week most likely.

EDIT: I almost forgot. Drew and I saw Randall Monroe and Davean walking by 68 today. They were probably en route to Swapfest.
