Sick Kitty, New Tech Toy
Sep. 8th, 2016 03:21 pmWe have a sick kitty in our house. King is an elderly cat, and has long-term kidney disease, so he's fairly sedate most of the time already. Yesterday though, he was threw up his breakfast and hasn't eaten much since. Nathen is giving him chicken broth which he laps at occasionally. He disappeared for a while yesterday, and I spent twenty minutes looking for him, before locating him under the bench in the foyer; that's where he's been spending most of his time. I suspect he likes the cool tile there. I've been checking in on him frequently, encouraging him to eat and drink, and hoping that he's feeling better soon.

I spent all of Sunday and Monday with Posi at his new place. We played at least 12, maybe 18, hours worth of Factorio. I'm getting a little bit tired of single-player (though I'm still working at getting some of the achievements 'cause they're fun), but with other people it's like a whole new game. I love the challenge of coordinating multiple hands working on one project. Steam says I now have over 250 hours in on the game, all in all. I think I got my money's worth.
----
During one of our brief spans of not playing Factorio, Posi and I went to the nearby thrift store where I made a real score. I'd never even seen a linear tracking turntable before, and I got one at the Goodwill for $15, with the owner's manual. It looks as though it's hardly been used. I'll talk more about what makes linear tracking turntables interesting behind the cut. But here's a picture. Pristine!
