LJ go BOOM!

Yeah - SA/LJ was dumb. They caved to a group of right-wing nut-jobs with a knee-jerk reaction that caused more problems than it solved. It was handled badly from square one and has started a slide towards a very slippery slope indeed.

But I'm staying here, cuz ya know what? I'm a free user. I have very little right to tell this company what to do as I'm not paying them a penny. If I was a paid user I'd be all outraged and stuff, but they have absolutely no obligation to listen to me at all.

I'll get around to writing up this past weekend at Woden Thor eventually, but it's been a couple of hellish days at the office and I'm beat.

Interesting fact

A 6-lb bunny, when blowing her coat, can fill the bag of a Dirt Devil Hand-Vac in 2 days.

And there's STILL more coming out.

She's all tufty and grey and she trails little clouds of fur wherever she goes. On two occasions I've just given up, held her down, and plucked the bejeebus out of her. I'm sure she feels better for it, though she'll never admit it of course.

I R electrickly talented!

I fixed the cord on my second AC unit!

Not sure if Pepper got to it or if it was just wear and tear from the move, but the AC unit I put into my bedroom window wouldn't work when I installed it last week. I found a couple of exposed wires in the cord, so I quickly unpluged it. Finally got round to picking up some electrical tape over the weekend.

Thank goodness for Stage Lighting A20, where I learned enough to do simple wiring repairs and installations without blowing myself up. I cut out the damaged section of cord, stripped the wires back at both ends, spliced each wire (matching the colors), and then electrical-taped the hell out of each one. Tested it an YAY cold air! So I taped the whole lot together and now I have a working AC unit in my bedroom. There is an outlet directly under the window so the shortened cord won't have any stress on it.

I know it's not too hot yet, but it IS very humid, and with my recent breathing difficulties I'm a LOT more comfy in AC right now.
