Wait... you're actually reading this?! |

I just finished putting up the Christmas decorations for the L.A. house. It's not much - just a string of lights on the outside and a little light-up artificial tree in the window. Normally when I string up the lights, I wrap them around some columns on the porch to hold them in place. This year I figured I'd try something a little different and hopefully easier - I'd just tie them in place using zip ties. Things were going pretty smoothly as I was tying the lights up. Then I used a wire cutter to snip off the excess plastic from the zip ties. It was all well and good until I accidentally cut a wire on the lights! Everything after the cut immediately died! This was a minor catastrophe that would have been much, much worse if I didn't have leftover electrical supplies from a few classes at UCSD at hand. I soldered the wire back together and soldiered on with my task. The lights are up now, and they're working ok, but I'm a bit concerned I don't have a sufficient fix in place. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
