This past weekend wasn’t as fruitful as I had hoped.
Elise and I drove downtown on Saturday afternoon and headed to Spamarama. We approached the gate to find out that there was a $5.00 per person admission fee. We evaluated the ongoing festivities from beyond the chain link fence and decided that we could [...]

We decided to try out Johnny Carino’s last night. We agreed that we’ll stick to the Olive Garden if we’re ever in the mood for faster Italian food.
We were rushed to a tiny two top table at the back of one of the wings of the franchise, our waitress mumbleasked what we [...]

Yes, yes… I’m good. I got my computer working again. Came home for lunch, determined to get it working - and I did.
I’m back to where I want it to be… 25gb boot drive with XP, 30gb MP3 drive, 655mb of SDRAM, USB 2.0 card (with the Intellimouse using one of the ports).
Everything looks good [...]

I thought I was cool. I plugged in the Archos and XP read it as an external drive. Yeehaw. I went to transfer the existing music from the Archos onto my secondary hard drive. Oops… where did my secondary hard drive go?
I unplugged the Archos and restarted my computer. Still no ‘D’ drive (that’s my [...]

Arrr arrr arrr arrr… more power! I just added another 128mb of SDRAM to the box of circuits, bringing me to 655mb of RAM. I just got back from Discount Electronics where I purchased a 2-port USB 2.0 PCI card. I think they’ll be seeing a lot of me in there. [...]

After eating on Saturday evening, we walked to the pond to see the hog tracks. We found a couple trees that are being beaten alive by woodpeckers.
Elise and I stayed up to watch another worthless episode of Saturday Night Live.
Sunday… hmmm, we woke up and had omelets. Elise put Que to rest. [...]

I just setup my first peer-to-peer wireless network using two 802.11b Dlink wireless adapters.
I’m at my parents’ house right now. Mom wanted a wireless network because she didn’t want to run wires. I spent approximately an hour on the phone with Dlink tech support. That was a waste. Had I played around with the configuration [...]

Okay, now that Friday is upon us, I guess I’ll go ahead and post an update on what we did last weekend.
Ummmmmm… Hang on, let me go ask Elise.
Okay, I’m back. That was funny. We both had to stare at each other with our heads tilted to collectively recollect what we did 5 [...]

Okay… I’m stupid. A few days ago I decided to network my two computers because I was doing some mad CD ripping and needed more hard disk space. I spent 3 days with networking burning in the back of my subdural blah blah. I sat down this evening and decided that come [...]
