Title: What made your day today?
Post by: swimmingbird on Sun, 25 October 2015, 17:50:05
We have a what's bothering you thread so I thought let's practice our gratitude and talk about the good things that made our day!

I got a message from a user over on reddit complimenting me on my GON Nerd60 with Hyperfuse - he was actually wanting to see if it was for sale. I was incredibly flattered that he liked my board so much.

I'm now helping him out now in getting his own GON sorted  :). I know it's all ego but it feels nice to inspire someone else's wallethack passion for keyboards. It was Boopers's GMK Dolch cinemagraph that put me down the 60% road at the beginning of the year and it's really cool to inspire and help someone else down the same path.

After considerable aggravation for me and my son, we have beautiful (almost) new kitchen appliances working properly.

And I bought a lottery ticket to see if their was any positive energy left in my account.

I added an aux input to my wife's car. It's nothing really extravagant, but I've been trying to come up with an easy way of doing it and never found anything I liked online. I ended up figuring out a way on my own, and it costs me about $5 for the jack itself. My wife is super happy about it, which is all that really matters.

It's the little things in life.

Also fixed my chair's armrests, hopefully no more pleather peeling on my 54 cent chair.

Just realized you're in Sydney, getting a good day there is easy peasy

Weekdays: Go to Harry's Cafe, get a pie and a beer while the sunset

Weekend: Go to fish market, eat lots of cheap oysters and grilled scallops

My little girl is such a humble, helpful, beautiful little delight. All of this is by grace, not by any superior parenting by me or wifey.

I found a bug in one if Lenovo's drivers.

I figured out how to make our application run about 7% faster.  But I got the go ahead to buy new faster hardware anyway, heh.

I get to write some Autohotkey scripts for work.

My Zealios arrived.

My best friend comes in town on Friday. Haven't seen him in person in almost 2 years.

My birthday is this weekend, and my kids are soooooo excited. It's really sweet.

My wife mowed the lawn. Reminds me that the best thing I ever did was show her how to start the lawn mower. I have not had to mow the lawn in 3 years now.

Nice! Mine recently took care of the weed(not fun kind) problem we had. It was bad. I was waiting for the Predator to jump out of that ****.

What made my day was my brother stopped by and I got to see my 10mo niece who ended up making a terrible mess but his wife cleaned it up so no harm there.
Also, he brought me an external USB floppy drive with a couple extra 3.5", an extra 2TB WD HDD he had(NIB), and also a Dell AT101 with black alps that he got from his work. It's horribly yellowed and quite dirty. I haven't even tested it yet.

Making all the women at my wife's place of work jealous by taking her a homeade stromboli I made just to take in for her lunch.  I refuse to work on Veterans Day and needed something to do.  Used breakfast sausage, sauteed onions and green peppers, provolone, and some cheddar.  On top of the crust I did a light egg wash with and sprinkled some italian seasoning, and some smoked parmesean/reggiano/romano blend.  She left what was left for the rest of the girls to fight over.
