Closet to bath

Wieslaw — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 23:26:00 +0000

Today, I discovered a solution to my bath problem. While at IKEA, I decided to take a look at the closet that caught my eye. The doors to the closet were replaced with cloth panels using KVARTAL track system. Next to the closet was a bathroom and there was a solution staring at me. A rectangular RAAN rod with FLORENCE curtain and RINGSJON rings. It took less than five minutes to install.

Here it is. My personal office bathroom problem solved.

KNOPPIX is great

KNOPPIX is a bootable, live Linux system made by Klaus Knopper.

You can read more about it at http://knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html .

Download it, burn it and it works like magic. Put it in any computer with a CD drive and you are good to go. It does not mater what or if an operating system is installed on that computer. The KNOPPIX CD is live, self contained and it will run even if the hard drive is damaged, hence I use it to fix broken computers.

Microsoft broken hive

Busy as a bee in a hive.

I got this screen while trying to fix my cousin’s Dell laptop.

This PC is going nowhere fast. Perhaps the usually busy bees that make it work are absent from the hive.

Microsoft choices

Here we had some distinct choices to make.

I chose Mac.

When presented with clear choices, like this one, I usually recommend buying another computer. Since I do Windows no more, my choice would be an Apple.

Got glue

My son decided that he needs new work shoes because one developed a major problem. I had to drive to Home Depot to get some glue. They had glues for everything. It took me about half an hour to read instructions on packages (forgot the glasses again). Finally I found one that was waterproof, flexible after drying and could bond leather and rubber. I went to pay for it. There were no human cashiers, except for contractor checkout. I had no choice but to use self checkout. Since I never carry cash, I pulled my check card and scanned the glue. The display started blinking and emitting beeping sound. It stopped doing it shortly. The guy who was overlooking the operation of the checkouts said that the alarm was set off because the item needed ID check. He needed to verify that I am old enough to buy glue. It was a surprise, I did not know that kids are still sniffing the glue.
