Dirk's Blog Thing

This morning I woke up hearing thunder outside. So I thought I'd better shut the window and turn of the PC. Unfortunately I fell asleep again thinking this, and only dreamed I was shutting the window and turning off the comp ... Oops. Few minutes later I woke up again though, and this time actually got out of bed to do those things before going back to sleep. I even disconnected the power cables ...

It's almost 2 pm now and I'm finally up. It'd kinda been a long work day yesterday. Was home after 1am, and then Steffi called and asked me to do a delivery with her. In the end that didn't happen though.
Anyway, I just tried to reconnect the power to my computer. And monitors. And TV. And stereo system. Modem. Router. And whatever else is still connected to those two cables. The power surge was enough to kick out the fuse, and none of the devices were even turned on. *shurgs*

So. Today I'm probably having a day off. I'm saying probably because I know there's a delivery at 8pm today, and it's not certain enough of our drivers can be at work today (one of them is starting an internship today and he doesn't know when he'll be back home). Anyway, most likely I'll stay home today and do something fun for once. Like iron the huge load of clothes piled up in my room |:


Oh, and my Livejournal turns 8 today. Yay. (:

looks like someone got themselves a new guitar.
and they're practising in the middle of the night.
and they sux.

So. When I got back and turned on the light, two light bulbs spontaneously commited seppuku.
Or something.
Add to that the one that stopped working ... errr ... sometime earlier this year. Or last year ... Means, that I have one of 4 lightbulbs still lighting my place.

And no, I don't have any spare ones. I feel that the working light bulbs have less incentive to stay alive when I have spare ones, and therefore die even more frequently.
Well, okay, most of them only die once, but you probably know what I mean.

Electrician woke me by banging against my door.
Installed some new hardware next to my door.

Now I can choose between almost 20 melodies for my door bell.
More importantly though, I can set the volume of it, and I can turn it off!!
How cool is that? No more falling out of bed in surprise because someone rang teh door!

It also has LEDs, but I haven't seen those at work yet.
It also has a button that turns on the lights in the hall. At least that's what it's supposed to do, dunno if that button is actually hooked up to anything ...

So anyway, I'll have to figure out how to operate this at some point ...

And now I'm going back to bed ...

hrm.
So the power died today.
Twice.
My computer survived though, as it seems.
Killed my 1337 uptime ofc d;

tonight is not a good night to make backups I think.
Too much lightning outside.
