Wednesday : 28 September 05
I have spent the past… far too many hours tinkering with my video card. For the most part, it’s fine. However, the TV tuner aspect is leaving a little something to be desired. Okay… it’s leaving a LOT to be desired. I’m not “mad,” per se, but I am a bit irritated. ATI did a good job with the predecessors of this card, I don’t know why they screwed the pooch here. At least, the lack of tuner functionality doesn’t affect my ability to play City of Heroes. In fact, there’s actually been a benefit: I am no longer seeing a message saying that the video card’s drivers are “too old.”

Other than dealing with this card, the rest of the day has been good. Work was nominally productive. I got a call from inviting me out for lunch. Today’s fare: Noodles and Company. While I usually have a satisfying meal, today there was something about the steak in my entree that was… off. Not the taste, the texture. *shrug*

I rented a kid for the evening. Max stayed here while Kate and Perry were at a class. And, once again, Max proved himself to be a rather low maintenance kid. He’s one of a select number of kids for whom I actually enjoy babysitting.

Stray Toasters

  • I had an apple earlier, but I was really looking forward to having a cinnamon roll this evening. Messing around with the video card, I completely spaced off going to get one.
  • Reason #459
  • “Right let’s try this costume thing again.”

  • Neil Gaiman and Joss Whedon discuss their audiences in a Time Magazine interview.
  • It seems as though SciFi will air a Dungeons & Dragons licensed movie on 08 October: Dungeons & Dragons II: Wrath of the Dragon God. I’m not sure if the “II” is because SciFi has done a previous D&D movie or if they are “continuing” the numbering that started with “that movie.” Regardless, I think that it was a good idea for Wizards of the Coast to present the movie via SciFi. It just seems like a natural fit.
  • …and while I’m on the fantasy kick: I picked up a Soulshredder (from Mage Knight) while on Saturday’s pilgrimage to Mecca. I think that it’s a pretty damned cool-looking figure.
  • Bunny and…. The Force?   –   
  • Lunchbox art show
  • I find this amusing: Palm CEO Shows Live Audience Bill Gates’ Cell Phone Number
  • I caught an episode of Quantum Leap on… hm… I don’t remember what channel now. During it’s heyday, it was a good show.

We’ll call that good for tonight. Tomorrow: CSI and painting the wainscoting in the living room! And maybe, just maybe, I’ll be able to patrol Paradigm City and return with a new Indigo Bolt story. That would be fun.

Namaste.
