I Need to Get Out More
Yes, it is Friday night at 7:30 and yes, I am posting on Boot Blog. In an attempt to make up for the crazy no office-new visitors-Thirsty Thursday week, my lack of internet connectivity at home (fixed it today!), and general life distractions, I was hoping to tie up some loose ends this evening. So far, loose ends have included: checking the score of the Timberwolves/Lakers game obsessively, customer service queries, yelling at my roommates, axing a member who was spamming the boards (ggrrrr…don’t mess with me on a Friday night, punk), figuring out how the DJ is going to get hooked up tomorrow (we are having a massive party on Saturday. The cops are going to come. I’m trying to be ok with this), approving new member apps, discussing our writing guidelines with a Portland area college student, putting images in articles, and attempting to figure out how to sit on my bed without having my really hot computer on my lap. I think I’m going to give up now.

I find the best thing is an empty 3 inch binder.
Books are good but the empty binder provides ample airflow, heat extraction, AND props the laptop up so you can see the keys better.
I really dont know what day it is… I’m in spain and looking at the blog.
chris-
shouldn’t you be updating your own?
yeah, i go for the book method sometimes too, russ, but my legs go numb!

I have about 10 entries, the problem is that I can’t find a place with a USB port to transfer them from the alphasmart…
and I’m lazy…
For someone at home on a Friday evening, you sound as though you have plenty to do - and not at all dull.
I have an old wooden baby doll crib left over from when my niece was little. It sits over my legs like a bed table and the open slats underneath it allows the laptop to gently heat my legs.

I’ve found that a firm book beneath the laptop is the key- that way air can still get to the fans and stuff beneath the box.
Heh, look at me; it’s late Friday night and I’m working on an SQL issue with my site and browsing ORblogs and yours.
