False Alarm

HA HA I suck. The good news is the Satellite Ballroom is smoke-free. The bad news is Melt Banana plays tomorrow. So, I drank a beer and listened to some hippie jam band. The one arabic jam with drum & percussion solos was worth the $3. I think I was actually the only person there not in one of the two bands, a family member of the guys in the bands, or an employees of the venue. It amused me that a large portion of the paying audience (me) was accidentally there because he thought the hardcore show was tonight. Tomorrow, I try again. Four concerts in one week.

Oops. Glad you didn't show up. Are you going to try tonight?

Try? Yes. Unfortunately, I'm still rebuilding my laptop, so I might not make it out.

Your laptop is like a sickly, frail child. Does it ever stare out the window mournfully watching the other laptops play? Good luck with it.

Apparently karma didn't care for my comment about your laptop being a sickly, frail child. We're suffering the logic board screen failure again. Do you have the means to take an iBook and (throw it off a building) connect it to an external display? I don't have any displays. If this is possible, I need to view some data before I send the machine in for repair and just copy it down onto good old reliable paper.

Did your iBook come with the video adapter? Mine's at work, but I can bring it home next time I'm that way. I have an old monitor that's attached to my G3 that you're welcome to come over and use, but you'll need the adapter to attach it.

I think it did come with the video adapter, but I need to look for it. It's probably in an unpacked box. I've never used it. I'll see if I can find it. Otherwise, I may wait until you're well enough to crawl into the office. Feel better, don't work too hard.
