Random Thoughts....

Just breathe slowly and look at the pretty mountains... some of us would kill to be in PC right now. Heck according to the reports you guys still have a 108 inch base with 5 inches of new in the past 24. :D

Thanks dude. Yeah, we just had another storm yesterday. :)
 
Just found out that I am likely going to have to put my cat to sleep.

Wait what? Damn, Spectre...that is terrible news!
Pneumonia worse than expected?
*fingers crossed for full kitty recovery*
 
Surprise concert invite FTMW! And I got an autograph as well!

Also, sorry to hear about you cat Spectre. Losing pets is a horrible feeling. :(

He looked like he was perking up yesterday, but last night he took a decided turn for the worst so I took him in to the vet. Pneumonia turned out to be or turned into congestive heart failure. He's not responding to oxygen or a diuretic (to remove the fluid that's pressuring his lungs and abdomen). There's also a possibility of a tumor, but that hardly matters now.

Just got off the phone with the local specialists. They'd look at him, but they're saying it's $3K to start and that they're really not offering any likely improvement in condition.

Not looking real good.

Cables are fun. I bought a five meter HDMI cable because it was cheaper than a one that was two meters. Same manufacturer and vendor. When are we going to switch everything to DisplayPort? DP is royalty free, HDMI costs money for every unit.

AFAIK DisplayPort does not support copy protection. So we'll be stuck in HDMI hell until the recording/movie industry stops harrassing it's honest customers: The pirates don't have to worry about copy protection, at least i've never seen a copy protected pirated .avi or mkv. The only one who has to suffer through protection mechanisms running amok, FBI warnings about oil rigs and prisons (cause felons and oil workers care about FBI warnings) and non-skippable trailer shows is the honest customer.

EDIT: I just found out DisplayPort supports copy protection. Thus, it is evil, too.

Same here, Spectre. All the best to both of you. We had to put or family cat to sleep about half a year ago. The house still feels empty without her.

That's tough, spectre. So sorry to hear that. Just make the right decision for kitty *hu..*..err..*encouraging slap on shoulder*
 
I was wondering... Am I surrounded by idiotic people, or is it just me?

FTFY :p

And idiots abound, it's not just you.


Lab meeting - Seiko! I thought I was going to get deep fried and chewed out but he was totally ok with it. He went to the hot springs yesterday so I think he was calmer today as a result. Thank the sphagetti monster.
