I Think I Just Turned My Fruit-of-the-Looms Into A Fudge Factory!

by Rainier on Dec. 17, 2010 @ 12:00 a.m. PST | Filed under MOTD

The Christmas cards are starting to roll in, and we usually hang them on a wall in the office, but this year, it seems a lot of companies are opting for electronic greeting cards in e-mail. It's too bad because it was always a cool sight to have them on display, and it makes the place look nice and festive as well.

A few days of no TV/DVR watching, and the thing jumped to 86% full. Guess it's time to make a dent. Last night, we watched Hell's Kitchen (the finale) and The Good Wife, but it's mainly the HD recordings that take up a whole lot of space.

I still have two computers to re-assemble, but that'll have to be for this weekend. My main gaming rig is done, and that's what matters.
