Bleh -- 9:24 pm CST, Update by The Master

Since it's a dead news day, I figured I'd throw up some thoughts on the latest E-ad on TV. Have you seen these IBM ads on TV lately? Oh, now you know it's time to call IBM. Blech. Lemme tell ya folks, in computing it's a dang cold day in hell when somebody can come into your shop and fix ALL your problems right now. Heck, our bandwidth problem at my place of work took a solid month to fix, and that was with the installation of a couple of switches. Gimme a break.

Pondering the Imponderable -- 7:32 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Just when you think things couldn't get less interesting . . .

I've been trying out my new CD burner recently. I made a couple of compilation CDs of my favorite bands (namely, Dokken and They Might Be Giants). The software that came with the drive, a Sony CRX140E, is a little convoluted, but it's powerful once you figure it out. Of course, no paper manual or even a PDF was included. Two days ago I found a nice PDF manual on Sony's site for it. I have no idea why it wasn't included on the install CD. The best part is now I actually have decent backups of my important files.

Thirteen Days -- 9:30 pm CST, Update by The Master

I just got back from seeing Thirteen Days, the movie about the Cuban missile crisis. Pretty good movie from a historical prospective, but, please: ONLY TAKE HISTORY BUFFS TO THIS MOVIE. I may never EVER hear the end of this from my wife. I'm pretty sure I'll be getting divorce papers before the week is out.

J.t.Qbe comments: Whew--ditto for Fat Man and Little Boy: I saw it after reading The Making of the Atomic Bomb and thought it was great, but my future in-laws were snoozing. Don't worry, T.M.--if Kevin Costner's pathetic Bahston accent didn't drive her to leave you, a little history won't.

TABLE Bug Fixed! -- 3:49 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

As a follow-up to my post yesterday about the Mozilla TABLE width bug being fixed, I downloaded last night's build and, sure enough, the bug is officially fixed! I no longer have to see our news and finger trackers jumping all over the top of the page. Huzzah!

Devine and Spector Transcript -- 3:19 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Tech TV posted a transcript of a recent chat with id's Graeme Devine and ION Storm's Warren Spector. It's a good read, I just wish they would have edited it a bit more and put all the questions and answers together better. Oh well. Thanks Blue.

Interview with Rantz Hoseley -- 12:05 pm CST, Update by The Master

Cows Say MOO! has an interview with Rantz Hoseley, Race coordinator on the Master of Orion 3 game being produced by QuickSilver. Pretty good stuff, if you're an MOO fan like myself :-)
