As to the Florida link. Really nothing to say. I usually try to go for structural explanations. But sometimes the answer is that people are no damn good.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Seriously? What kind?
Let me pull them out and take a quick picture. Hang on. They're very simple, but I've literally got them in a box to Craigslist.

That Florida link is crazy. Just, nuts.
I have rearranged stuff to free up some bookshelf space, and it's a functional arrangement, but I really don't like how it looks. Having the printer on top of my desk makes the shape all wrong. Need to ponder.

Ok. Here you go, Hil.

They need some serious dusting, which I would do before sending them. They've been in a box for two years.

They're nice, but not really the size I'm looking for right now -- I think I need either a desk lamp with a really tiny footprint, or a floor lamp. Thanks anyway, though.

Ok! It was worth a shot!

Rearranged stuff again. Printer on top of little bookcase seems to work OK. And putting it this way let me rearrange where I had the modem and router plugged in, which let me eliminate a bunch of messy cords. And the way I have it now, I can hide a bunch of others by taping them to the back of the desk leg. (I have issues with cords. Can't stand a tangle of electrical cords under the desk.)
t edit: the Apple cords that let you swap out the cord or the plug are great. Just switched a bunch of those around, and it made everything a whole lot neater. Computer cord goes right into the wall, Airport Express gets some extra cord so that it can sit on the desk.

YAY! I got all of my quilt squares done, and I've got the inside of the quilt laid out: [link] It's really gorgeous. The pictures just don't do it justice. And once I add the borders, this sucker is gonna just pop. Here's a more close-up picture: [link]
I want to work on it more, but I totally have to go to bed. Really. Right now. See me go.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I love playing Word Sandwich just after 9. Makes me feel so smart to be in the top three... for a few minutes.
