ellarien: two laptops (computers2)
So I have this CD, one of the set of two I bought to fill the gap in my Mozart collection that I suddenly discovered last month.

It plays fine on my elderly and sometimes crochety boombox, but neither computer likes the last two tracks (about the last five minutes of an 80-minute disk). Butterfly won't rip them without inserting bursts of static, and Behemoth just hung iTunes, froze the CD driver, and had to be rebooted without the CD in the drive before it would behave.

I guess I don't get to listen to those tracks except in the old-fashioned way.

Meanwhile, we had a mild and humid day after early rain. The local news is getting excited about floods in one of the popular mountain canyons, that washed out the road and caused a lot of destruction. It's been raining, on and off, since Thursday, I think, which is more water than the watersheds around here can really handle.

Mission Statement

Reading, writing, plant photography, and the small details of my life, with digressions into science and computing.
