Up and Running again

A new video card and new dimms later and we now have a functional computer again (whoopeee). Amazing, the cheapo ATI card that replaces my NVidia GeForce4 Ti 4600 is actually much better. It pays to be a few generations behind the curve (except that I didn't wait with the GeForce, oh well). This means we'll have to get our photo album up-to-date with shots of our recent trip to San Diego. Look forward to that coming up soon. One things for sure. I'm not turning off this machine (if I can help it).

Of course, Christmas is approaching faster than toro down a cobbled street in Spain. And when you are as unprepared as we are, you're bound to get trodden on or worse. But then again, all those prepared folks standing in line after Thanksgiving demostrated that you're bound to get trodden on regardless.

We're still on the lookout for some air-tickets to SA for Inna and Danny (that would be a lovely Christmas presentSanta, if you're ... reading). Sadly, everything affordable is already taken. Hopefully something will turn up soon but we'll wait until the last minute if necessary.

Here's an enjoyable link of Jon Stewart quotes if you're interested.
