What I Threw Out Today

I began September 21 2010 - To record of some ephemera I had collected before disposing of them

Not Great Pics

Today is dull, and the sky is grey. Dawn was 0834, but it didn't seem to make much difference. So, it seemed like a good idea to take the WITOT pics by artificial light.
Actually, it wasn't such a good idea. Some pics have my shadow in them, and some have considerable shake as I used zoom to see could I escape that shadow.
So better luck next time, I hope.


Actually, this is a pretty pathetic collection of items, all of which have been discarded.

This is documentation from both computer hardware and software that is long either disused or thrown out. It came to light during the current work-room sort-out.





One of the blurry images, but you can make out that it is a small bag that once contained ultra-violet beads, actually on a wire bracelet. The idea was that the wearer would be able to know whether they needed more sun-protection. The bracelet is still around somewhere.




The blur is so bad in this one that I can't even read what it says. So I will tell you that it once was the packing on a plugblock which is now part of the electronic kit that I rarely use because I have a terror of doing an explosion or hurting myself or knocking down the house or something.


Packaging off a Jack-to-jack cable.
It is realatively recent - Jan 2013, but I've no memory of what I needed it for.
 Am fairly sure that this fire-hazard warning is off the very chair I am now sitting on this minute as I type this. Bought about 1997 or so, it cost nearly200 Euros, and was reduced at that. But the comfort it has given me over those years probably makes it close to the best money I ever risked spending.
Again I'm not sure what I got this firewire cable for, but it could have been in the course of wiring up my 'technical desk' - at which I am currently sitting. I suspect I might have got it in Dealz, or some other bargain shop.
The final item is a directions sheet for the timer I am still using in the kitchen. The digits for seconds are fairly unreadable, but the mechanism still works fine. I used it only last night to time the rice I was cooking. Have it a long time - no idea just how long.


Somehow, doing this was a bit of a chore today - must be that grey sky.
The fact that the pics wouldn't stay where I put them didn't help!
