Now is the time for all good geeks to test their newly cleaned keyboards to see if they are operating within acceptable limits. So far, so good. Wow. It’s so clean! Well, I couldn’t very well take in my computer tomorrow with a completely gross keyboard.

Alas, while all the keys are white and shining again, and it’s much more quiet like it was before, the volume keys and eject button are still non-functioning. I’m hoping to be able to whine and get a new keyboard as well as the new Super Drive. If not, oh well. I can live with those keys not working if I must. The rest of the keyboard is just fine.

So yes, tomorrow we are going to go see an Apple Genius, and then I will probably be without my computer for a bit of time. No idea how long it will take to replace the drive, but I can’t imagine it taking too long. At least I hope it doesn’t take too long. At least Lin has a reasonable computer I can sit at during the day now, if I need to get on line.

And then … as soon as I get it back … the movie making and DVD burning shall begin. Mostly though, I just want to back my stuff up on something that holds more than a CD does. I am drowning in CDs already.

That’s what I accomplished today. I cleaned my keyboard. Lin is currently outside with all manner of chopping and cutting power tools with the intention of pruning trees, chopping down some trees, and whacking all the bamboo down. I guess he is going to get a lot more accomplished today than I am!

Still want junk food for dinner, and I mean to get it. KFC for me!!!
