I can't believe it was that easy.
I have the login I use for my blog set to automatically jump to the directory it needs to be in. Manually that works just fine, apparently blogger still needs the full path. .:sigh:.
BTW... BLOG'S FIXED!

This
little ditty won the contest for "Best Warcraft Movie". I know, it's lame, but it's funny, and well done.
It's really sad that those level 60 chaps have nothing better to do. Raise the roof! Raise the roof, let those without lives become martyrs.
*updated*
Speaking of level 60 -
The Ballad of the N00b is a rather comical musical tale. (modifier modifier modifier)

I don't have exact numbers right now, but after receiving my cards and doing a couple of a tests - I have not found as large of a difference as I thought.
I went up to a 7800 3D Mark, but that's without any AA, which is what's really supposed to be helped by these particular cards. Running the super high resolution of 2650 x 1600 is possible, and even playable, but not smooth.
I clocked it down to 1600 x 800 for Need for Speed Most Wanted and that seemed an ideal resolution. I'm able to run FlatOut2 at full tilt, and but I really noticed a quality difference in BF2.
BF2 shows the difference between the 7800 and 7900 chipset, and it really looks amazing. Everything is rendered better. The water is clearer, smoother, the textures are more conforming to the curves, and the color is vivid. I'm still experimenting with the ideal settings for everything, balancing my desire to be at max resolution, and my need for smooth frame rates.
A dual core FX would solve a lot of issues, and RAM running at full speed wouldn't be bad either. 2 SATA 3Gig drives running in RAID...

I saw someone else searching for "cleaning SPT intake" and realized I never actually figured out how to do it. I know you unscrew the clamp, but whether you're supposed to just brush the surface or actually use water is where I'm wondering. In any case after an inspection it was just fine, so not needing a cleaning after 3 oil changes.

It may not be the first step... but it's progressing.
I've just purchased a book for $40 entitled: Microsoft ADO.NET 2.0 - Step By Step
Building Database Applications in .NET 2.0
I was attempting to teach myself via the examples and forums on the web. Unfortunately I was mixing the 3 different ways of doing things and twisting myself up in my own inferences about what was needed as a basic groundwork. I was setting it up programatically then dragging and dropping, and apparently the drag and drop adds extra bits (table adapters) that interfere with the programatic way I was attempting to do things.
I'll post a link to the forum post I started, and also post the solution I've come to once I can explain it in my own words. I like learning from a book, it's usually fairly straight forward given a good text. There was an ADO 2.0 - learn in 24 hours book which I would have rathered, but this one was the only one B&N had in-store.
Adventures in programming. I don't like DB programming, I like fun programming, but fun programming is funner when you've got a useful database built into it. *sigh*

I'm scared of the new version of blogger.
I think they'll take something away, I don't think I'll migrate correctly. Maybe I'll back everything up... ha, back everything up. Blogger is my backup. Should everything go blahooi (and it has) I just republish from blogger.
Anyhow, I'll stick with old blogger till they kick me out.
At any rate:
FRENCH - check it out. It is indeed french, and I have no clue, but there's this chick from Ireland featured on there with music videos and such and that part is in english. Sounds really cool. Check her out =)
Oh yeah, they also linked to me via blog log, so if I see a few more hits I just may make them my blog log buddy. I think I got into the network, just an add... and it's been boom since.

Just checking in...
Didn't want to go so long without posting. I haven't even come up with any good links. Yesterday I was working solid right through lunch. I finally got moving on my access to VB.NET OLEDB connector goodness Survey program and almost got there by the end of the day... then found the right settings for the DB which would have done the trick but they did something to corrupt the code. It wouldn't load and I'm going to have to strip it out and start over. I have to get it done by the 2nd week in January and though there will be plenty of time to do it durring the weeks around XMAS (it's slow, everyone's gone) but I'd like to have it done before then.
Computer parts, fixing, web programming... trying to get on top of everything before the end of the year.
I finally got my finances in order last night for the business. I never have my personal finances in order :]
Speaking of which, an AMD-FX 60 (dual core 2.6ghz) Socket 939 is going for $450. Down from $800 a month ago.
I'm almost considering just getting a Socket 939 board with DDR2 and saying be gone with it. I'll be monitoring the prices of Socket 939 and I'll probably snatch it up soon.
In that case, anyone want an AMD-FX55? Got a 939 motherboard?
How about 2 7800GTs for SLi? 2x7900GTXs are in my future, with 2 chips on each card -- that's 4 graphics processors. 4 Graphics processors and 2 CPUs with 2 3G/sec SATA HDs in RAID 1.
.:insert Tim Allen 'more power' sound here:.

Red TV - think "America's most exciting police chaces" with added bonus of surveilance footage.
