Enough already

altivoI don't generally complain about winter. However, we've had enough now as far as I'm concerned. It's time for the sun and liquid rain instead of ice and snow.
Swapped my venerable CRT for an LCD flat panel at work today. I haven't much cared for those in the past, but they've definitely improved in recent years. The jury is still out as to whether I'll go cross-eyed looking at it, and the colors seem a bit washed out to me, but it does have higher resolution and a larger working area than the CRT did, so I guess I'll keep it.
Installed the demo for a game called Pony Luv from Gogii while waiting for some things to update themselves (all those Windows updates) and was amused when it wouldn't run because some part of it was looking for .dll files with slightly different spellings than the ones they installed (as, for instance, with a "d" appended to the name) so I renamed the relevant files and suddenly it worked. That seems like a pretty dumb mistake to make. Do you suppose they put their demo out for distribution without ever trying it out? Apparently so.
Anyway, I heard about it from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
felder. You get to choose a breed of pony and take care of it, including feeding, grooming, exercise, etc. Sort of like those tamagotchi (or however it's spelled) keychain pets that were popular a few years ago. The graphics are cute anyway.
The workshop fabric is nearly all woven. About another yard before the bitter end of the warp where I can't go any farther. That's good, because the next meeting of the group is a week from today and I want the fabric washed and ironed before then so I can show it in class.
