Well, so far today has been a much better day than the last couple. While I don’t have the ram for my work machine yet (I’m assured it’s “on the next truck” up from head office), I did just finish ordering a nice new system for home, with some parts based on suggestions given when […]
As I just mentioned, I’m looking to upgrade my system a bit, something middle of the road, price-point wise, and I”ve been out of hardware for a while, so I have no clue what is best anymore. A while back it was athlon + an asus board, but these days…. no clue. I’m only looking

Well, made it through the weekend, started the week. The last bit at work has been slow and discuraging. It seems like I’m constantly doubling back on myself, going back over things that I should know, do know, have done, or need to do over and over again. Part of it I think is trying
Yay, looks like MJ has made it on his trip to Vancouver! Well, to Seattle anyway… hope the border patrol doesn’t give you trouble 🙂 I was getting worried too, almost ready to sent out the Search and Rescue for someone I’ve never met, don’t know what they look like, drive, or where they should

Well, tonight was the big Buffy the Vampire Slayer season series finale. Read no further if you don’t want spoilers. While Derek might not agree I did think it was kinda cool. No big death scene, and the big-ass magic act that Willow did wasn’t really seen, and if it was indeed “deeper than the
Just rediscovered a site I had put in my blogroll a while back but haven’t been visiting lately, codepoetry. In reading the author (name? who knows, no about link I could see.. bad blogger!) has some interesting points on how apple can increase market share. In short, by eliminating “Mac only” stores. While it’s cool

Wow, I managed to suck down the 500 meg Half Life 2 video and all I can say is wow. Almost more exciting as the Doom3 footage I mentioned. The physics in the game look amazing, you shoot a wooden platform and hey, it spliters, and (if shot in the right places) falls apart, just

Say it ain’t so! Rori has a good enrty over at onegirlslife about how the heroic rescue of private Jessica Lynch may be a wee bit distorted. Links to UK and Canadian stories tell how her injuries didn’t include any stab or gunshot wounds, and how the Iraqi doctor tried to take her back to
