Okay, so I’ve almost transferred all my files and folders from the dying laptop to my new lunchbox Mac. Yay.
I’ve installed Minecraft - essential!
And now I’m trying to find where the save games are so I can get on with the MathMagician Adventure Map.
Alas, things have changed and I can’t find the bugger.
I know it’s in ~/Library/Application Support… but I can’t remember where I go after that.
I can has help from the Minecraft Boffins?
A little while ago, Hound got into my car and ripped its shit.
I called my insurance people - Suncorp - and they promptly arranged to have it all go away for the measly fee of $500 up front.
It’s okay if you don’t remember the original blog. It’s been a while. That was published March 10th. It’s been a whole month and a day since then.
They first told me “two weeks&

Yay.
This is fine and dandy IF your old mac isn’t clinging vainly to life and might just die with each reboot. If that happens, you might as well shoot yourself and save your body from a whole bunch of stress related injury.
This morning [April 11th] I figured out that my old laptop counterintuitively lasts longer

Hubby went and got me a Mac Lunchbox. I mean, a Mac Mini. Estimated lifespan, two years, given the lifespans of past Mac Minis in my “tender” care.
I’m still in the process of wrassling content off the old laptop and onto

I got a forest, next to a desert, and across the river - a jungle!
And almost right under the spawn point, there’s a spider dungeon attached to some nifty caves. Just look for the cave entrance between sand and forest. You should be good.
I built myself a treehouse with a rooftop garden [Seriously, what ELSE do you do with a jungle?] and a mine under one of

Took them long enough.
I’d like to say, “better late than never,” but there’s also the hundreds [if not thousands] of other deaths caused by pallid police shooting at innocent brown people. There’s too many of those and not enough outrage IMO.
One small step towards good progress, anyway.

Since we had the jungle lawn slashed down to lawnlike levels, we’ve had a LOT of grass lying around in clumps. Including clumps near the fence, which threatens the wood palings.
We also have a lot of pit traps where Hound decided to imitate Simon from the Yogscast and diggy diggy hole.
So early in the morning, before the sun decided

One reason for this is: Hubby’s a bit of a feeder.
He loves to give me good, tasty food when I’m down in the dumps - and that’s been a lot, lately. He treats me with delicious things often full of cream, sugar or cheese. all the delightfully sweet

Hubby pointed out to me that I talk about my dying mac a LOT. As in, almost every time I speak to him, a lot.
I didn’t mean to pressure him. I just really, really hate not having a mac.
And here’s a few reasons why:
1) All my stuff was on there. Well, almost all of it. I was still trying to figure out how to get all my photos off my iPhone and onto the mac[

Good news: It means I’ll have blogging material again [seriously, you’re all two posts away from ponies as I write].

I usually say that anything you get for free is worth exactly what you paid for it, but since my budget for this thing is exactly zero dollars, I should probably shut that attitude right up.
