(Functioning) Dishwashers Are Evidence that God Loves Us and Want’s Us to Be Happy

Thankfully, our eight year old Bosch (Bosch? Gosh!) dishwasher does still work, though “work” means “as long as it is started with an arcane button sequence not noted ANYWHERE in the documentation or on the Bosch support site, AND I hold my mouth juuuuuust right.”

It has had the electronics replaced once, already–a few months after the manufacturer’s warranty ran out (thanks Squaretrade!), and that seems to be the failure point, now. *sigh*

Since I’m the only one who seems to be able to “dance the dishwasher startup jig,” if when I die, my Wonder Woman will just have to buy a new one. . . unless we replace it before then. Probably a Whirlpool (since, currently, Whirlpool has a MUCH better repair record than Bosch.).

Diogenes–No, Not THAT One

Seriously cool software:

Diogenes

Of course, it is designed to be used with the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae which is available only on paid subscription, and so, absent that, use of Diogenes is pretty well limited to dictionary searches without that, but it’s real useful for quick lookups as opposed to dead tree copies of Strong’s and Liddell-Scott (and seems to have a much broader base than the Strong’s Greek Lexicon).

A handy-dandy lil resource when vocab fails crop up in reading. besides, who doesn’t need more dictionary resources?
