Shiny Hyper People
I guess lack of sleep makes me hyper, if I've managed to make myself awake.
I've got my computer at home partially set up the way I want it. Two monitors, two keyboards... it may be a little weird, but it enables two people to look at the same project at once. But we can't have the second keyboard, the mouse, and Pablo plugged in at the same time. We have to choose between Pablo and the second keyboard and the mouse.
Sis and I came up with the most hilarious way to freak out her genetic sister, "That Woman." My computer, as I mentioned, has an extra monitor and keyboard. So what we do is, we set up the laptop in such a place so that the monitor and keyboard can be put inside the closet, with the cables hidden. Dude then sits in the closet. That Woman comes into the room, and the laptop begins typing and doing Completely Weird Things. That Woman would completely freak, because she is *not* a computer person by any means. Computers are like black magic to her. She doesn't understand them even to the elementary extent that Sis and I understand them. Sis has to be helped out with things that I understand pretty well. Then, I'm the daughter of a computer scientist, and I'm majoring in computer science.
We'll see.
This is going to be interesting, though. Already we've been having alt-tab wars.

-Asimov? Clarke? Niven? One of those Dudes.
Thats why these days, herbs are sold at GNC and the government burns hackers and drug dealers at the stake ... for we hold the keys to what people do not understand fully.
