It’s lunar new year, which means most of my shows have gone on hiatus this week, and I’m stuck between planning out The Garden and building those beds. {{1}} [[1]]But I did get my strawberry seeds on Thursday![[1]] What’s a girl to do in the interlude? How about install memory at 6 o’clock on a Saturday morning? It’s really the perfect time to do it: no distracting noises, no nagging deadlines. Just you and the harsh white glare of the lamp. You and the barely audible sounds of the screwdriver. You and the certainty that something is going to break.

It actually wasn’t hard at all, for anyone interested in upgrading their computer’s memory. The most agonizing part was taking the old memory out – it was really wedged in there!  My darling is an iMac 5,1,  and the upgrade took her from 1GB to 4. Since I also invested in a terabyte portable drive this month, I feel like I’ve gotten a whole new computer (not that I want to replace you, Anastasia). Of course the real question is, does the new memory make her go faster?

Uh, Yes?

Come on, if I were the type of person who could tell that right away, would I still be using a computer from 2006? Still, I think that single webpages are loading better now. Time to test running multiple applications at once.
