a Hattori Hanzo sword

So I’m trying to get (admittedly) a very old sound card to work in Windows 2000. No driver. Check the web. The SoundCard comes up as the chip maker. The chip maker only makes the chip and does not create drivers for the sound card. There is a list of manufacturers. Ok. Go there. Drivers for 95, 98, NT4.0, OS2!! and NOT 2000. Joy. Have a nice day.

In happier news I made my first lasagna and got a call from old friend. (ya Val!) 🙂

Pulp Fiction

I watched Pulp Fiction again… My favourite part… in the store with the Gimp. Bruce Willis’ character has just escaped Zed and nasty violation. He decides to return downstairs and save the man he owes money to. First he picks up a hammer, then a baseball bat, then a chainsaw! He peers around and sees a samurai sword on display and grabs it… heh.

go yankees? yeah! Ron!

Yes, it is strange. I think baseball is one of the most boring sports around. However…for some reason…I can watch playoff baseball. Maybe the crowds are more excited, maybe each game actually means something, maybe the players put in a better effort… but I find the playoff games not too bad.

As a Canadian I (of course) can watch pre-season, regular, and playoff hockey… Speaking of which, I’m glad Ron MacLean and the CBC agreed to a deal (I e-mailed the CBC and expressed my displeasure at the thought of Coach’s Corner without him and was impressed to get a reply back from CBC) it is the chemistry of BOTH Ron and Don that make CC so interesting. Really, would the Olympics be the same on CBC without him?

And what happened to that storm we were suppose to get last night?? big nothing.
