Long overdue.

Long overdue. Yes it's been way too long since I up dated this and beings how I was in the neighborhood and langterra so kindly reminded me, I thought I should bash out a few words seeing how this keyboard is a smooth as silk now that I lubed it up.I took the keyboard (dexxa)apart and cleaned it then lubed up the keys with JIG-a-LOO lubricant. Damn!Does it ever do the trick. It has been longer than I thought since I updated(almost 2yrs 
)so I should update the comp situation as things have really changed. Bought a PIII last year from a guy in town who later laid a truck load of computer stuff on me. The PIII is 667mhz running win2k.I recently added a nvidia 128mb video card and am running dual 17" monitors.CD/rw/dvdrom came as an extra and have only this week got the thing to burn Cd's'. It needed a firmware upgrade and I could of got it running months go if I had only done the upgrade. 
the sound system is on-board which I plan on changing to sound blaster live soon.Altec lansing spkrs with the sub out running a sally-ann sub.The scanner and printer are both different now too.The scanner is scans twice res what the old one did. The printer is hp deskjet 722c but the drivers for it don't allow for 2 side printing or banners.Another Huge improvement is the new seagate 80gb hard drive. I finally have room to do some of those music projects I have been planning for soooo long.The pIII is now connected via a dual modem LAN from 3com with pcanywhere to the PII (hence forth known as the music server 
)Pcanywhere is pretty wild as I can control the p2 while sitting at the p3.It has given me some headaches trying to get pcany configured properly but think I may have gotten all the 
out. I plan on adding a cpl of the p1 machines to the LAN too.WHY? Becuz I can!!! 
Having the LAN set up will also let me move some of the stuff around to reclaim some of the floor space in here.
Dave the computer guy also gave me a powerpc mac that with a $20 monitor adapter is running a e-mu sound module that is midi capable. I can hook up the dr rhythm to it.dave also cpl weeks ago gave me a mac OS upgrade disk and few others.
Speaking of software..... one of the reasons that I happen to be in the opera community is that I just finished installing the latest stable opera. 9.2
A few other software titles of late are;photoshop,the gimp beta,fly2k,audacity,etc.
Trivia is going pretty good too.The 14k milestone is now behind me as of the other day.It's too bad that some of my buds have decided to hang up their skates tho.
I created a frapper site for #trivia which has about a 100 members or so but need to recruit some more.
It is springtime and even though the birds are starting to return it doesn't look very springiy outside right now. It's raining but trying it's damnedest to snow.Snow knocked out the power a cpl weeks ago all over the northwest. The outage did however give me a chance to talk to judy and janice over the blower.Alton has been back driving school bus since sept. Pascal is out in Edmonton working at the plaza hotel. Pat is hoping to get another job paving up the line and should be out today to get the dodge to drag Chris's new 5th wheel trailer. Mom is having stomach problems and is due to see the specialist in 10 days or so. I have to go to the doc to find out the results of my tests to see if I have acid reflux.
I hope to get a better camera soon so I can post more pics and stuff. so till then........ttfn.
