Back from Readercon, where a very good time was had. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
akaspeedo has a report up already. I'm watching merlinpole's and (check) stevendj's (check) space.
We cracked today and hauled the fans and air-conditioner up from the basement. Actually, my SO cracked, so he did the hauling of the AC. I would have just kept sitting in my own thermal deliquescence. I've gotta hand it to Hotpoint; that little room unit dates back to my bedroom in my parents' house, and it's still working after many, many moves. My best estimate of its DOB is 1982, maybe 1983.
Meanwhile, the electronic vortex of doom continues to plague this house. This week's casualty: my NEC monitor. The problem seems not to be the power cord but the connection between the power cord and the monitor, which is no longer jiggable with random objects. (Nonrandom objects don't work either.) This issue comes up with monitors a lot, doesn't it? Is it something easily fixed, worth fixing? Something that would be a crime to abandon an otherwise perfectly good monitor because of? (I have a spare in its place now.)

There was a brief drenching Saturday too, during the dinner break. It was really quite wonderful and made the nice dry restaurant seem cozy.
