Today was a good day!

Well, finally, after a few weeks of lots of downs, I had a really good day today, aside from one little thing.

First off - I use my iBook G4 all the time, everyday, and I pretty much leave it on 24/7. I think before yesterday, it has been about 3 months since I turned it off. LOL! Anyways, the power plug is a bit annoying. The first one that came with the computer got badly bended like below:

See where the exposed wires are? Well, because of all the bending that occurs with "normal" usage (yeah, I break things so shuddup). This is partially my fault. Well, it gets worse when it gets overheated and start burning off the rest of the wires after the first crack.




I was able to find yet another AC adapter (this is my third one), and told Roy to turn his inventing machine on in his head and come up with a way that it will be hard for that area to be bended. No matter how hard I try, I forget in a hurry to be careful of the wire. So, Roy found a heat activated "thing", that you normally wrap around exposed wires to keep them from environmental exposures.

So you can see that it will be HARDER for that annoying spot to be bended! Isn't that cool or what?!
It is about 5 inches long, so it should def protect it for a long time.





Another good note - My car is ready. How I miss my automatic windows, power locks, better stereo system! I have to wait until tomorrow or Monday to pick it up. Ugh.

The only small sad note of the day is that I got Jamie's ashes back. I will be doing the Memory Glass for Jamie, and scatter her ashes somewhere. We haven't really decided yet, but I really would like the Memory Glass.

Until next time...
