McCain = twitchy and blinky; I think he needed some Ativan.
It really looked to me like he was high on something. I mean, probably just prescription painkillers to keep him awake, but he did NOT look healthy.
How do people handle setups with VCRs, DVRs, DVD players, and one or more game consoles? Plus straight up cable, just in case?
The back of my media stand looks like a tragic explosion at a cable factory. But basically, everything goes into the AV receiver, the AV receiver goes out to the TV and speakers, and the Harmony remote takes care of remembering what's connected to what input. (Oh, and the Tivo is patched directly into the VCR, but I can't remember the last time I actually used that part of the setup.)
Noah + Grace = BEST DEBATE ANTIDOTE EVAR!!
And reminds me that I really need to replace our video camera. Or maybe I should wait in case someone gets me one for my birthday.
You guys, I could COMM about half of the debate comments.
You should get right on that. Remember, if you'd wanted to COMM Natter 28, you should've COMM'd four years ago.
Probably coming down with cold. Fuzzyheaded. Did not get enough sleep last night. Wanted to call in but I have 3 meetings I can't miss and a major task to start.
Feh.
Today is World Food Day. Happy World Food Day, everyone!
To celebrate, we should all eat some food. Food is good.
World Food Day provides an occasion to once again highlight the plight of 923 million undernourished people in the world. Most of them live in rural areas where their main source of income is the agricultural sector. Global warming and the biofuel boom are now threatening to push the number of hungry even higher in the decades to come.
Oh yeah, that too....
Question for gamers: Is Far Cry 2 un-PC?
Do you mean is it available for consoles also, or politically correct? I think it is multi-platform and it is set in Africa. So available on the PS3, and great potential for not being PC. I don't know a whole bunch about it, since I'm not all that much into straight out shooters. I think the Half-Life 2 series will probably be my last.
The Maverick family called - they want their name back. (A possible reason for a new description this week. Or maybe they'll keep trying until the numbers come up.)
Oh, ouch. Spreadsheets should be handled with care.
Barclays wound up with scores of Lehman Brothers trading positions that it never meant to buy when a pair of very junior lawyers attempted to reformat an Excel spreadsheet and convert it into a pdf document. The result was that a "hidden" column of 179 contracts no[t] intended to be purchased became unhidden, and when Barclays filed the document with the court it wound up picking up the contracts.
