Our old and well-used PowerMac G4 was beginning to show its age and it finally began to crater.

Well, here&#8217;s a good layman&#8217;s explanation, by Rob Bryanton.  Just mind-blowing!

I&#8217;ve got a Sony amplifier/receiver for our home entertainment altar system.   I also have a set of surround sound speakers, not the best in the world, mind you.

Regarding the post a couple days ago about my recent theme, ahem, mayhem, I&#8217;ve decided to release the whole kit and kaboodle.  Here&#8217;s all 688 images.  Here&#8217;s a sample image:

 Gravatars are back! I&#8217;m using the Gravatars2 plugin (see all the plugins in the &#8220;Credits&#8221; page listed under the About tab up there).  It&#8217;s got a groovy feature of assigning generic gravatars to commenters who don&#8217;t already have a Gravatar account.

		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago, Alan Cooper wrote The Inmates are Running the Asylum, a polemic about the software development business. A better metaphor for my &#8220;web design&#8221; techniques does not exist! Cooper&#8217;s book especially blasts how a lack of management control leads to feature creep &#8212; unnecessary addition  of so-called features to inflate a [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "The inmates are running my asylum", url: "http://www.electrolund.com/2007/10/the-inmates-are-running-my-asylum" });</script>]]></description>

The relative newb that I am, I never realized what it&#8217;s for.  It was originally intended to thwart spam bots from mining the links out of comments.

I think I was hitting burn-out.  Very little inspiration and time to commit to it lately.  As if supplying the content weren&#8217;t enough of a task, the engineer [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "The blogging blues", url: "http://www.electrolund.com/2007/05/the-blogging-blues" });</script>]]></description>

For instance (not necessarily in order of importance):

One goal for me a few weekends ago was to install some new light fixtures.
Topmost in Sarah&#8217;s list was to repaint the kitchen.

Up until Saturday, the kitchen was a pleasant blue:

For those of you who are already subscribed, you might be confused by the recent post (dated 2005, no less).
I rescued this post from the old archives that were lost in the change from the old blog system to WordPress.
