So I bought a Windows computer for my wife to use. I need to know how to get it online (using cable and my own router) so that I manage not to get it infected with every bit the filth and crap on the Internets. I've been using Macs for years, or else PCs that I don't administer, so you can see that this is virgin territory for me.

Gotta read the whole thing.

I hope it's not too late for another rmg laundry day entry!

Coincidentally, this also happens to be my CFC entry.

In accordance with rmg Laundry Day, observed today April 6, 2006, I did laundry. My findings are within.

As much as I would like to participate in rmg's Laundry Day I find myself unable to as I did all my laundry this past Sunday and have not yet generated dirty laundry in sufficient quantities to justify either a fill load or a diary documenting the event.

So instead I will be participating by doing dishes.

first, let me just say i'm very pleased with the participation so far. as i understand it, it'll be the sixth for a bit longer in hawaii... although, why would you waste your time on the internet if you lived in hawaii? in any case, there's certainly room for a few more laundry diaries.

second, it seems that some of the people who signed up haven't gotten around to doing laundry and writing about it. gzt comes to mind. perhaps we could make tomorrow gzt's laundry day? that'd give all of you a chance to get that laundry finished up without having to worry about the time factor.

third, sort of an administrative point, i was thinking it would be rather corking if those of you who wrote laundry diaries would add an "rmg's laundry day" tag and if you're feeling really ambitious, vote any laundry diaries you liked to the front page... but you know, no pressure.

finally, since i think we've all enjoyed this fun filled hulver's site event and, of course, one good turn deserves another, maybe we could make this a monthly or even fortnightly (though that'd be pushing it for me) thing. i think it'd be a stone groove.

but enough of that, rmg, what about the laundry?

Life is marvellous! I love it all, the marvels and pins and whistles.

I'm doing laundry as we speak! It's in the wash. I sent out an email to a couple lists I'm on about RMG LAUNDRY DAY, told most of my neighbors, it's all so marvellous. Several are participating, though I didn't tell them about HuSi to post it on. If they find it, they can post. If not, whatever. They might send them to me. If so, I may ask about relaying them here.

Who's hiding the snacks and beer!!!

rmg's laundry day was particularly exciting for me because it was also my first day at my new job.
