Current mood:

linking

Ah, life is good.
I recently set up Thirdputer (like a computational corollary to Leftputer and Rightputer) on a separate table-ish thing, so there would be room for my girlfriend to sit and use it (unlike my computers, which are intertwined with one keyboard above/behind the other and both mouses on the right of them, and where the table isn't wide enough for 2 people to compute comfortably even if I de-intertwined them). This means if one person wants to surf the internet or work on something while we watch TV, the other person can do likewise. This is good.

Then I tried to IM her this link stolen from quill18's Lj...

Demonac: Do you have Gmail open?
Girlfriend: [hesitently] ...yes... why?
Demonac: So I can send you this link.
Girlfriend: [giggles at me] This is silly...
Demonac: What?
Girlfriend: I could just get up and walk over and read it off your screen. I can see it from here...
Demonac: The article it links to has smaller text. [sends]
Girlfriend: Hehe, that sign is great.
Demonac: Oops. Apparently I sent the link to myself too... your gmail is still open in my other browser.
