#42 Full House

#42 Full House

I never cared much about Presidents Day, but this time I celebrate it because we have full house again. My kids came home, my mother in law is here, my wife never left, so we are all here. :)

One of the side effects is that I got a few laptops to fix. Two Windows 8s to Install and one sound driver to repair. Plenty of things to do, but I do not mind - when my house is full, my heart is full too.

Photographically it looked easy enough - laptops were already on the kitchen table, and I just cleaned the mess, and took a shot. And a few more. I had to bring a soft box to control the light better, and after that the other one. These keyboards are giving odd reflections unless they are angled just right. And the worst part was computers themselves. It was like herding cats. My Windows 8 didn't want to stay on logon screen more than a minute. Filip's laptop was trying to recognize my face every time I passed in front of it. Tina's fingerprint reader was trying to recognize invisible fingers every few seconds, and Zorica's laptop was going to sleep every few minutes. I literally had to play them in order to make this happen. First I'd move the mouse on mine and Zorica's laptop, avoiding Filip's as much as possible, pressing a 2 second delay timer on my remote control, clicking on Tina's laptop to show the logon screen, stepping back to avoid being in the picture, and going to the camera to see if I missed anything. Of course I did, so I had to repeat everything again. Fun! :)
