davidd's A DOLL A DAY 2023

[davidd]

We're baaa-aaack!

Computer repaired, restored, and ready to roll... finally!

After installing the back-up, it's time to play catch-up!

During my semi-offline absence, I've been snapping photos with an iPad and posting them directly to Flickr, but copying the code and uploading to forums is far too fussy and fidgety for me to do on a regular basis via a touchscreen keypad. But I gots a keyboard again, so away we go!

(g)Natalie is the "smiling variant" of Smart Doll Kanata.

Nelly is the standard, non-smiling Kanata variant, but you may

recall that Nelly could actually be a true haunted doll, as in some

photos she looks grump... I mean serious, but in others she

looks like she is smiling. (g)Nat is always smiling.

I found this little guy (about 4 inches / 10cm tall) while I was sorting

through some plastic tubs in the storage shed. It's one of the Monster Theater

figures that was issued several years ago by a company called dKiller Panda.

This one is called 'Nosfe' and represents the vampire character from the

1922 silent film, 'Nosferatu.'

So... it turns out that re-installing the operating system and data from

a backup drive is not nearly as intuitive, straightforward, or easy as...

well, it's not easy. Or straightforward. Or intuitive. After several frustrating

failures, I called in a Pro! I just hope Nellz doesn't get peeved and blow

everything up! Like for realz, with dynamite or nitroglycerine or something.

Third time... or was it the fourth time? Or fifth? Well, anyway...

the whateverz time was a charm. As a result of Nelly's knowledge,

diligence, patience, and forbearance regarding the use of elosives,

the desktop iMac computer is back in action!
