I haven't been without a computer at home in a very long time, and I must say that it's a very strange feeling. I'm so used to using a computer all the time. Even when it's unnecessary. I'll check my email ten times while watching a DVD. I'll browse the internet while waiting for food to cook. I'll check the weather a few times before I leave the house in the morning.

Lately, I haven't been doing a lot of "real" computing stuff at home (hence the selling of the Quad), except for the podcast, so I'm not feeling a serious lack without having a computer around. It's just the little time fillers. I'm so used to having a computer within reach at all times that I'm going through a little bit of withdrawal.

Combine the lack of computers with Katia being gone for the weekend visiting a friend and me being in the office by myself doing some work, and I've had a very strange and isolating few days by myself. I wouldn't want to live this way, but it hasn't been too awful.

Things will begin to change on the computer-front at home on Wednesday, when the first of a few toys arrives...
