Placid

Rather quiet Sunday morning here.  I was up far earlier than usual for a Sunday, due to a bout of sudden-onset-insomnia.  Go figure...

So, I'm doing some low level computer fiddling.  (Upgrading the anti-virus and web browser on the Toughbook.)  Been out and walked for a bit.  Quiet morning.

Actually using the Thinkpad keyboard with the CF-29, and I'm very impressed.  I think it works better with this computer than it does with the Lenovos!  And the TrackPoint is almost a joy to use here, when you're used to fighting with the crotchety trackpad on the Panasonic.  (Of course, I'm actually using the keyboard properly her, sitting on a nice, level surface with the feet extended.  Very comfortable.)

The Panasonic is sort of my "comeback kid" system.  After the oddball troubles I had with it right after getting it, when I figured it was soon to see the door, and then to get it working quite well now...  Well, I feel better about what was (comparatively speaking) a noticeable investment on my part.  It's a solid little computer.  And one that not a huge number of people have, so I guess it has a little cachet to it.

What I really need to do is get back into writing.  Creative writing.  I used to have a habit of churning out bits and pieces of fiction, and then inflicting them on friends to see what they thought.  Work (and general laziness) drove me out of the habit.  I really need to get back into it.  (Cue up fantasy dream sequence of being a famous, bestselling author.  Fancy music, dancing animals, etc.)

(Reality kicks back in.)

Yep, on with yet another placid day...
