I’m still on the mend from the cold I inherited. Nose is crunchy from all the runny nose activity but it’s healing. I’m using the holidays to catch up on all the things that get lost in the shuffle during busy periods, things like balancing the checkbook. As the one… Continue reading
Over the past several days, I have been “enjoying” the cold my daughters brought home from school and gave me for Christmas. It’s been a nasty headcold that I am now on the recovery end of. I feel pretty fortunate that it hasn’t developed into a sinus infection (yet). On… Continue reading
Last post was thursday not because I forgot to post, but because I have been very busy with playing catch-up after getting back my computer.

Day 13 without the desktop computer. Data Doctors is closed on Sundays, of course, but then I’m usually distracted by football on sundays. Packers have the early game and Cardinals have the Monday night game. Russell’s Chargers are on the afternoon game, but he’s camping right now. Anyway, there has… Continue reading
Went over to Fry’s Electronics last night and picked up a new video card, an GE Force 9600 GSO. I took the opportunity to double the RAM up to 1 gig, so it shouldn’t be all bad. XMX should be sending me a replacement for the 9500 that burned up…. Continue reading
