Stir Crazy

You know you’re going a bit stir crazy when you wish you had access to your college physics and engineering text books (they are home, on my bookshelves) because time and non-use has rotted away many of the formulas from my brain.


We lost power on Thursday night and it is now Sunday morning, I’m on my second book but that much sustained fiction reading is getting tiring.


On the bright side, the kids haven’t really noticed anything is different since Friday when they got a little bored and wanted to watch TV. Once we finally explained (it took a while…) that no power=no tv, they’ve been great.


On the down side, I think my wife is losing it!

Some background: I've been a Windows (and DOS before that) user since roughly the 5th grade (that would be 1984/1985-ish, eeek) and part time Linux user on and off since 1994.  Other than two years in college, I've used those platforms (and a little Solaris) exclusively -- that's 25 years of experience.  Twenty-five years of learning shortcuts, time savings, and overall comfort on a computing platform. All that experience, shaken up and shelved for now.  Well, sorta.  This is what I think so far: Pros: I LOVE the hardware.  Seriously. Dual video cards (one for low power, one for high performance) Upwards to 8 hours of battery life...
