Ding dong, the bell is alive
Dec. 7th, 2009 12:12 pmFor as long as I've lived here, the doorbell hasn't worked. Lately, I've even missed package deliveries because of it: I've been right here in my room, the delivery person has rung the doorbell, shrugged, guessed I wasn't in, and gone about his merry way—even though I was sitting right here at the computer waiting.
Well, that's not going to be a problem anymore. I now have a working, loud doorbell, with a DING-DONG whose notes hang in the air for a good ten seconds or so after the ring. All that it took was replacing the button. To think I could have had that years ago if only I'd asked someone to replace it then, or even had Dad do it.
( Of maintenance long overdue, and 12 rolls of film I found in a box in my room, and EtherPad. )
Finally, as a reminder to folks reading this on my LJ: I may not have mentioned this in the past, but I have other social networking presences where I tend to write a lot more these days. Or at least a lot more often:
Twitter: http://twitter.com/robotech_master
Facebook: http://facebook.com/robotech.master (mainly used for echoing Twitter, but occasionally I post things there, like kitty photos, that I don't put on Twitter)
I also write a lot for TeleRead, http://www.teleread.org, and have an infrequently-updated essay journal at http://terrania.us/journal (which is also echoed in a feed on LiveJournal). And if you're reading this on LiveJournal, I also have a Dreamwidth account, http://robotech-master.dreamwidth.org, that I'm actually using to post this (it's crossposting into LJ).
