8166 – If I didn’t say it before, I’m sayin’ it now. do not use compusa.
Now they want to substitute the Nvidea 5950 Ultra with a Sapphire ATI radeon 9250 256 meg ddr, a similar, but inferior card. (a more comparable one is ATi Radeon 9800XT.)
I did research, and the replacement isn’t acceptable. I get to call and tell them this morning, and try to get a card that is at least equal to the strength of what the former one was.
They’re trying to trade my $500 card for a $60 inferior replacement. I’m not fuming but my disgust levels are high. They’re either trying to scam me, or are hugely incompetent. This one is more likely to be appropriate a replacement for my original.
I’m going to verbally blast someone if I get even an iota of resistance on this. I’m mighty sick of this whole scenario.
I really feel sorry for some poor slob that doesn’t know anything about computers… this feels like how I feel sharky car mechanics are, preying on folks that don’t know any better.
I’m going to try to get an upgrade on Nvidia, just because my old software is already configured for it. Maybe the silver lining of this long wait will be a better machine?
8165 – Monday, here again. 5 day week ahead.
Kind of funny, Hav chit-chatted with Kev about the FP, and mentioned Die Hard to him before I even had a chance to do so. Hopefully we can get together more often, now that I’m a bit more north.
Woo. Chilly out this morning! 40s Fahrenheit. No wonder Newt was under the covers with me!

I’m not content to be with you in the daytime
Girl I want to be with you all of the time
The only time I feel alright is by your side
Girl I want to be with you all of the time
All day and all of the night
All day and all of the night
All day and all of the night
8164 – Last day of the long weekend, taking it slow.
The birthday FP with Kev and Tomi was fun – we watched Die Hard, an episode of Lost (they’re just getting into it – it was the Kate bank-robber one), Wedding Crashers (which was better than I thought it’d be), and played some xbox: “From Russia With Love” and “Lego Star Wars” – both of which were a great load of fun, and nifty interpretations of the source material. The Bond game had especially good sound and sets, and Lego probably would have the most repeat gameplay, if I had any talent at all for the pod racing pat of the game. The pizza was good, I’d not had the Papa Johns Square pie before, and it was pretty yummo.
Got Gun as a b’day prezzie, and I look forward to playing it once big brain returns.
Bailey-pooch won “cutest in menagerie” – Kev’s got a lot of critters staying at his house right now – three dogs, four cats, two fish, his sister, her husband, their three daughters and one son, plus Tomi. Moneypenny, the runt mainecoon (2 years old and all of seven lbs) was a close second.
Bailey with the airplane ears. They naturally stick out like that at rest,
but can go to full attention if need be. She’s a little snuggle bug.
It’ll probably be the last time for Tomi in the USA, probably – his sis and her hubby are moving to New Zealand. Just an excuse for me to go to Finland then!I now have buddies in Iceland, Norway and Finland to visit now. Maybe I should invest in a few items of cold-weather gear.

8161 – Friday, what to do?
Called CompUSA last night around 4pm, and the voice mail is full. do they not ever check it?
Called the manager, Jackie, and said a tech would call me back once finished with a customer. I requested an eta, and she said “a half hour, tops.
I called back 2 hours later after no call came in. I spoke to Steve, who said that he’ll call and find out the problem, and for me to call him at noon tomorrow if I haven’t heard back from him yet. Let’s see what the excuse is this time.
As assumed, no Danny today, so plan B – walkabout. Treat myself to good times. Chinese Buffet for lunch, maybe CJ’s for dinner. Work out. Wander someplace I’ve never been before. I think I’m going to pass on the spa, unless I stumble across it in my journeys.
FP will take place tomorrow with Kev and Tomi, maybe Brad?

Wow, thanks everybody for all the warm birthday wishes! Also, thank you to Oneeyed and Sedef for the great gift! I’m not sure what I’m going to get with it yet!
Like Phil, I saw my shadow, so a bit more cool weather for me, I hope
I’m officially part of 40 faces now, too!
Had a nice day so far, slept in, played with Newt, rode the bike downtown and got my homestead, voter’s registration, and ID all straightened out for the new address. I think I’m pretty much done transferring stuff to the new place, now. The new Florida state ID cards are pretty, and apparently I straighten out to 6’6″ on the wall height chart.

Got this from acoolsecretary :
Yay, monkey!
Also, very cool cards from Mom and Ldy, not to mention swell waves in other folk’s Journals and websites.
Danny’s getting sick, so probably no get-together tomorrow. Poor guy sounds more disappointed than I am that he’ll have to use his sick day actually being sick. My Plan B? Probably go to the spa and get a sports massage and try to get some jacuzzi-time in.
8159 – Happy Birfady, Scotto!
Happy Groundhog’s Day, Candlemas, Pidyon Ha-Ben,Imbolc, Lughnasadh, Thesmophoria, Farewell to Lords of Misrule’s Trickster phase, etc.
Hm. Some minor stuff to take care of this morning, and then the day is mine.

8156 – Welcome, February!
Odd, considering yesterday’s news, that I took Wilt and the Momster to see The Matador last night (Was going to do Kong again, but a 3 hour movie on a “school night” is a no no for me)…sort of a chaotic film, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone in particular, but I liked it, after a fashion. Maybe a bit too much of some things and not enough of others…. very vague, but if you’ve seen it, you probably know what I mean. About an assassin for hire, not an actual matador. Not quite a comedy, not quite a thriller… great acting by both leads.

May get together with Kev on Saturday for a FP with Tomi if good fortune and a lack of taking call holds. That’d be so very 1986 of us, all together! Tomi’s usually in Finland, and Kev and I are usually so busy! I’ve got to think of what movie to watch… Perhaps Die Hard, in the tradition of one of our first FP’s?
I got my first snail-mail b’day card of the year from

Thank you so much! I adore it, and the confetti made Newton dance.

8130 – out with the work kids (and Tracy)
No video card yesterday. Perhaps today is Big Brain’s Day. Perhaps today, the moon will crack in fourths, and the glowing pink gas inside will descend from above to turn us all into delicious edible ferns for when the dinosaurs come back.
Dear Compusa…
If you can’t make your mind up, We’ll never get started.
And I don’t wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted.
So if you really love me,
Say yes.
But if you don’t, dear, confess.
And please don’t tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.
Out with the gang at Max’s at the Beach place. Pictures of Kaytee, Randy, Tracy and Vicki under the cut. Apparently, I’m the only person in South Florida without a hard E at the end of my Name… even our server’s name was Andy. Tracy’s new haircut was quite fetching, as was Kaytee’s. Liz couldn’t make it due to her flying out to be with her family due to Grandpa’s pancreas issues.

via christin – Study: Most College Students Lack Skills
More than 50percent of students at four-year schools and more than 75 percent at two-year colleges lacked the skills to perform complex literacy tasks.
That means they could not interpret a table about exercise and blood pressure, understand the arguments of newspaper editorials, compare credit card offers with different interest rates and annual fees or summarize results of a survey about parental involvement in school.
Rest of the article can be found here:

Heard from Liz for the first time in a while yesterday. That was nice… apparently she’s keeping two jobs to bring in the bucks.I’m glad to see she’s got some buddies down south.
