No problem,

But please don't think I was trying to insinuate anything...

I only pointed it out 'cause it does happen, I was the product of such indiscretions 35 years ago, (Insert immediate clarification statement here: I was adopted at 13 months of age) My genetic father (he is by no means anyone I would ever call Dad) was married at the time I was conceived - so was my genetic mother (again, she isn't the one I call Mom)- just not to each other 8O

He was a musician playing at the Airliner Hotel in Winnipeg, and she was a waitress... She accidently spilled a pot of coffee on him between sets, he ran outside and removed his scolding hot pants, she ran out after him to appologize... And then along comes me 9 months later.

However his wife (then) also became pregnamt 1 month after the hotel parking lot incident - and gave me the chance to have a sister - who is 29 days younger than me, She lives in Sydney, N.S.

('Cept I've seen pictures of the wandering musician and I just can't figure out how he managed to get all that "action")

The 60's must have been great...

As black as black can be...
Looks extremly dark out there. I have 2 hooks out there at the moment whereof one of them is a pretty shitty job and only a 1 year contract. I really don't want that one but if I do get it I will be forced to take it... YUCK!

:sos:: :sos:: Bing, and anyone else who builds PCs, I need assistance!

I need to replace the case fans in my desktop. It has two Top-Motor DF1209SM 12V 3.5" fans. Does anyone here know of a place I can get them? A google search didn't turn up much, and RadioShack doesn't carry them. I tried Parts Express, any other suggestions for places to look?

Thanks... KJP

Trevor that's a shocking photo of tori :bluezoned:

Kevin most PC shops that custom build PC's ought to have some case fans in stock...at least all the ones local to me do.

Great picture Trev.... Nice capture of the moment.

Kevin, your local PC shop would be the best bet as they'll have the fans you require and there isn;t the hassle of waiting for shippment...

If not here are some places you could try online.. Basically your looking for a 8mm or 92mm case fan. I would say something in the <2000 RPM range if your looking for steathy silence.

All Electronics (http://www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=220&type=store)


or you can go to the PC Boutique places, although they may cost slightly more.

Cooler Guys (http://www.coolerguys.com/)

Directron (http://www.directron.com/)

Frozen PC (http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/frozencpu/index.html)

Those are just some of the places, I have lots more if you required...


I just finished watching the show "Holes" with Katherine. I quite enjoyed it...

Tenn over Miami today, 10-6! Back to the top 10 we go. :)

There was only 1 TD today in a strong defensive struggle, and we scored it! :td:

In my opinion, FLA should not be ranked above us already, as we beat them. Both teams with 2 losses? Go figure. Why concerned? Because 3 teams in SEC east have 2 losses each, and BCS ranking is supposed to determine who goes to SEC championship game. That is, assuming 2 or 3 of the teams win out.

Trevor, sorry. I am not sure I remember Taylor's name. So, I went with what I knew. :LOL:

Yeah Trev, it's beautiful. The pictures don't do it justice at all. It's really spectacular through the telescope, the dark part of the moon looks 3 dimensional! It makes it obvious it's a sphere and not flat like it usually looks.

Speaking of which, time to snap another pic.

Here's my first batch of post-total eclipse pics, as the moon is passing out of Earth's shadow:

The first one was taken at 8:34 PM EST, just after totality ended.

Here's a shot from 9:44 PM EST. I actually took two shots and pasted them together into one file, the second one with reduced exposure, to bring out the detail in the bright part of the moon. In the left-hand image you can see the umbra (dark shadow) and in the right-hand image the penumbra (light shadow).

http://kpatz.home.comcast.net/eclipse/eclipse12.jpg

Here's another shot from 9:58 PM EST. Umbra shot on left, penumbra shot on right:

http://kpatz.home.comcast.net/eclipse/eclipse13.jpg

Last but not least, a shot at 10:05, just as the moon was passing out from under the umbra. The penumbra makes one side of the moon a bit darker than the other, which is evident with the naked eye or the right-hand camera shot:

http://kpatz.home.comcast.net/eclipse/eclipse14.jpg

(Well, maybe you can see them, maybe not. Comcast's website is being rather persnickety and seems to be refusing to serve my site's pages right now :x )

Hey FP gents... not sure if this would be an appropriate thread to start as it probably has a short answer:

Does zooming an FP have an effect on picture quality? Say zooming from 1.0X to 1.3X's? Or is it better to actually move the FP back to the proper distance?

Much better than the Panny 300. The image was more crisp and clean.

OSIM - hi everyone. been a long weekend. No good news about the job. I got an e-mail from the recruiter. The company I am interviewing for is highly impressed with my technical skills but they see this as a lateral movement for me and the 2 other applicants will be moving up. To me, this means salary issues. :huh: who knows. I just want to get out of this job!!!!!!

Kevin - cool eclipse photos. Any news about either of your opportunities?

E - rest and get better.

Lex - love the Beemer. Glad your daughter and dad are doing better. wishing you and your family the best.

Trev - cute picture of you daughter last page.

I know there is plenty to comment on but I have to get ready for our weekly status meeting. :321:

Nice Beamer Lex. (I don't like "Bimmer", sounds too stuffy for the likes of me) ;) Hope things get better for your dad and your daughter.

Pr@, have you posted a Matrix review in Movies yet? I'll be looking for it.

EJ, at least you're getting positive responses from your interviews. I haven't heard anything from SC or FL yet. I plan on calling them soon to see what's happening. I need to get out of this place more than ever now... :nutkick: because :bash: they're :banghead: going through :a>'> another :grab: MERGER! :banghead: Let's just add more insecurity on top of my insecurity from the last merger! AARRRRGGGHHH!!!

At this rate, if I'm still around when this merger happens, I'll have worked for 4 different companies without having moved out of this building. :?? Can someone please stop this thing, i wanna get off! xx)

My friend got back from the HT cruise. He had fun, though the HT stuff wasn't as interesting as last year. I wish I could have gone, I need some time out of the cold, and is it ever cold right now. Too cold for early November. I thought I told you Canadians to keep your cold air up there where it belongs! :bash:

Ok, enough ranting for now, I don't want to wind up banned again... :crush:

later... a rather frazzled and frozen KJP xx)

Good Morning Everyone!

Nice car pics Lex! I'm sure you are enjoying this ride.

Kev, maybe you can contact the Florida company and let them know you're interested. Being persistent will sometimes help.

Do you mean Gordon or the Matrix?

Hey, I resemble that remark. :)

My review? Here's the short version....I liked it....alot. So much so I figured if this was a stinker...then I wouldn't have to buy reloaded and I'll pretend the other 2 didn't happen. Now I'll get both just so that I can complete the trilogy. If you liked the first Matrix...you may or may not like this one...depending on what you bring to the table. If you didn't like Re-loaded (Bing)...you actually might have a hoot at this one.

Well Gord is an interesting guy but no I meant the movie ;)

Good to hear that other people are liking the Matrix and I'm not the only one. I'm beginning to think I am, the stuff I'm getting from professional reviews.

Kev, that's cool that your friend went on the HT Cruise. I REALLY REALLY wanted to go this year, with me doing my theater project and everything. But with Jen 8 months pregnant right now, that doesn't exactly work.

Back to the theater. It's finally DRYWALL DAY!

I also saw Matrix: Revolution this past weekend. I liked the movie very much. But it had to be the work theater experience ever. :evil:

Kevin - you know the saying - No News is Good News. :roll: Yeah right. Good luck with the new merger.

Being persistent will sometimes help.
My thoughts exactly. I wrote an e-mail to the president of the company declaring my love ;) , um I mean my desire to go work for his company.

Guys, George is still having trouble getting into the guide. I'm not sure what to tell him. Kevin, will you email George and see if you can figure anything out? I'd appreciate it.

Maybe adding the line to the file could help, if nothing else.

[Kevin P]

I emailed him, we'll see what he has to say. I asked him what's in his hosts file and what he gets when he does a nslookup www.htguide.com.

Any DNS propagation issues should be long over. Pr@, did you ever figure out why your work PC was having trouble accessing HTG after the switch over?

Hey folks, I got the new fans installed in my PC. I had to drive all over town to find a place that had 92mm fans. While I had the PC apart I discovered that it had two more fan positions inside the case, so I took the other good fan and stuck it in the slot nearest the drives, so the PC will (hopefully) run even cooler now with 3 case fans. Not that heat's been a problem with this machine, as far as I know...

Hey guys had a fun day today. Yesterday we went and purchased a new notebook for my cousin (this one (http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FS10035378&newdeptid=1&logon=&langid=EN&dept=0&WLBS=fsweb7)) Anyway it turned out to have a stuck pixel so we swapped it out for a new one today that works much better. I'm in the process of reinstalling XP as it came with all sorts of propaganda installed on it :roll: Anyway as you can see it comes with a "free" Epson all in one printer where you pay for it upfront and then mail in some rebates. My cousin said he didn't want it so I bought it instead since I could do with a new printer and for "free" it seemed like a good deal. Its a little loud when printing but the scanner and copy functions work great:T
I've also being eyeing buying an external CD burner as I didn't get an internal one when I bought my Dell this spring. I thought about buying a packaged one but then thought when I want to upgrade later to a DVD burner I'd be screwed so I found a good deal on a USB 2 external shell at Costco for $80 so I picked that up along with a 52X Liteon CDRW drive. I've only ripped one disk with it so far but it was fast and being USB its a snap to install. I can now move this drive around with me to back up my in laws PC as well as glenda's in a more reasonable time frame over my old 8X burner that will get donated to my mum.

I also picked up a new optical mouse as my old one was acting up a bit..its a cheaper Logitech one (Click!) but its much smoother then the iFeel I was using previously...so all in all its been like christmas around here with all the new gadgets:yesnod:

Andrew!
Congrats on all the new stuff!
I am like you, can't wait for Christmas..Do it now mindset!! :P

Kevin!!
Fans in the PC are a good thing!
The more you can cram in there the better.
I have 5 of them in my BlueZone PC..They are not noisy either. It's the CPU fan and Power supply fan that can wreek havoc if they are not certified silent!
Just ask Bing about my previous power supply. ;)

Satellite com linked Tortis. Ok, that's funny. But the plight of the sea turtle isn't funny at all. It seems the green sea turtles are very endangered from years of abuse to their nesting grounds, and trouble in the sea. A sea turtle only nests every 2-6 years. So, they are tough to track anyway. This one traveled some 350 miles to a feeding area. That's a long way!

http://i.cnn.net/cnn/2003/TECH/science/11/10/hongkong.turtles.ap/story.turtle.transmitter.ap.jpg

Ok, if turtles don't work for you, how about a 125K + mods BMW?

Another week and another waiting period...yep, my insider friend told me they won't interview the "other" candidate for the job until this Thursday...so it's another week of wait and see! :? But this just allows me time to work on my patience and build my character some more...right? :D

So in the meantime...I'll show you my new fence along the back hillside (in progress):

http://www.devotionsbyerik.com/Fence_section.jpg
Here's a section detail, showing the design or swoop I desided on.

Here's an angled shot showing what I have finished so far...

And finally the three sections I have yet to do...and then the wonderfully dead lawn that died this last summer from our EXTREME heat spells that happened while I was away...yes sprinkler system to be installed next year! ;)

Once it's all up I'll stain it and then it's off to begin the work on the basement! 8) And of course all the other projects around the house...that is IF I ever get time with little Nathan coming soon! :D

Nice turtle flip Lex!

What's up Trev? And Pratt-man?

AC Schnitzer makes some wicked cars.. My favorite from them is the CLS European model. It's a bit too hardcore race car for some, but I love it just because of that. The whole interior is made of Carbon Fiber as is the Widebody flares and the hood and trunk. This car is a top dog on the Autobahn.

Eduardo!
I had the same experience in Hawaii at Hanubue Bay (SP?)
Swimming in the bay with a surf board and goggles , i would put my head under water while laying belly up on the board to watch the Salt water fish underneath me.
At one moment a large sea turtle swan underneath me somewhat to the side. I was in awe as well as a little spooked. I experienced a heevy jeevy and had to quickly paddle off to the side a bit.
Still it was a pretty amazing thing to experience and see.

Imagine finding a wild horse stampeding across the surface of a computer chip. Well, we never imagined it---but here it is! This "American thoroughbred" mustang was discovered galloping around on a Hewlett-Packard PA-RISC 7000 microprocessor, flanked by the initials of the chips' designers. This processor was code named "Mustang" and was used in the HP 9000/720 series computers that were designed and built in the early 1990s. The initials JDY belong to Jeff Yetter, who was project manager for the chip, but did not actually add the doodle to the mask (Jeff says nobody remembers--or will reveal--who did).

This is a very cool site. Who say engineers don't have a sense of humor. :D

I really love this new mouse I picked up yesterday for cheap. Its just a Logitech Click! optical mouse but its so much smoother then my optical Logitech iFeel mouse it replaced.

Hey, guys, I just saw a show on DirecTV on the Fine Living Channel, channel 232. It was a half hour show called "The Genuine Article", just on home theaters, from HTIB to the extravagant. One dude had built a mini-cathedral with 40' ceilings for his living room theater, wanting "perfect sound". Had custom CAT speakers (not CAT cables!) weighting 2 tons each. Cool...

Grey Cup day
What is that?

What's that....

I guess the best way to put it is, it's the Superbowl only Canadian style (that means it's better :D and it's minus the over bloated half-time show...but they're not that different sometimes....you get Shania...we get Shania....okay, but occasionally it's Anne Murray :P ). The only thing that makes it even better this year, is that it's being played out in a Prairie town. Trevor and Bing are you guys going?....should be quite a party if labour day classics are any indication of what to expect. Parkas, snow boot and a warm thermos of ...uh...hot chocolate...yeah officer that's what's in there ;)

Andrew was kind enough to invite my wife and I to his place to see the game on the really BIG screen. 8)

So in case it wasn't obvious...I was just jesting Andrew a couple of posts ago :oops: :D

Mornin' folks... TGIF finally.

Hey, I got an email from George. He finally got back on HTG, he had to disconnect his router. Maybe it was caching the old DNS or something. Resetting the router would likely have had the same effect.

I get tons of spam on my work email. Most of the "enlarging" ones come into my Comcast (formerly attbi) email. I wonder if I'm the only guy on the planet who couldn't care less about the size of his... you know what I mean.

Man it's been bleepin' windy the past day or so. 60+ mph gusts. Our wind storms give you southern guys' hurricanes a run for the money sometimes. I half expect to find a tree in our living room one of these days.

Also a heads up for you guys, a new virus/worm going around. Norton calls it W32.Paylap@mm W32.Mimail.H@mm, some others are calling it Mimail.I, but in any case it masquerades as an email from PayPal, and if you run the attachment, it asks for your credit card info and it emails it out to someone. Pretty nasty. Here's Symantec's writeup. (http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.mimail.h@mm.html) (Whoops, it disappeared off Symantec's website? :huh: maybe they're renaming it, I'll post an updated link when it's back up Updated link to reflect name change)

Otherwise not too much going on around here. Just pretending to work and trying to survive, nothing ever seems to change.

L8r folks... KJP

Good to see you back George! I can also see you've wasted no time in posting throughout the forum. A dedicated poster.

Andrew and George, I e-mailed Kevin Benton at Complete-It for some pricing on FP's. He was about $200 higher than most others on the Z2 but he said he might could do better on a 2HD. I guess I'll have to wait and see.

Thanks on the virus warning Kev.

I don't get it with all these "enlarge your XYZ" spam. I need a bigger XYZ about as much as I need a bigger uvula, appendix, or hole in the head. :roll:

Christmas is still over a month away, too soon for decorations I think. I follow the "No C before T" rule. Of course, that doesn't work the same way in Canada, where their "T" is a month earlier than ours. :huh:

Still, anyone who puts up Christmas decorations more than a month before is :crazy: ;)

Christmas lights already Gord? Getting started a little early huh? We are the lazy kind... we usually start putting up the tree and lights around the first week of December.

Yeah that's what I usually do ...but you have to remember the region I'm from...you ever try putting up lights in -20C/-30C (with the wind).

Don't forget...it's early November and we've been buried under snow since Halloween. So +1C may as well be +20C as far as I'm concerned.

:)

We're only the land of ice and snow for about 5 months of the year. A common misconception of Americans is that we drive our snowmobiles on the street year round. Kind of reminds me when comedian Rick Mercer convinced several Americans that our Parilment building was made of ice and was melting so that government couldn't hold parilmentary sessions and Canada was going to be shut down :LOL: Yup sounded as reasonable as the dreaded Saskatchewan Seal Hunt :rofl: That one was a classic! Unfortunately it was at the U.S's expense...sorry about that...but it was funny.




"A RONSTER!"

[Gordon Moore]

You'd think I'm crazy but it's the whole city....Winnipeg has a contest for the city in lights. The festival of lights parade is next week. The city had their street x-mas lights up last week. They'll be turned on next week.

I have neighbors that had X-mas lights up since halloween 8O (now that's nuts!)

Simply a regional thing men. ;)

That and they look nice. Then again we have snow and the 2 go hand in hand so ;s@ :2fingers: to you guys

Hey Lex and Mats, while trying to help Andrew regain access to HTG on his work 'puter, I went to http://www.checkdns.net and had it check htguide.com's DNS info, and it found the following error:NS list mismatch: registration authority reports that domain is hosted on following servers: 'dns2.triora.ch; dns.extra.ch', but DNS server dns.extra.ch reports domain to be hosted on 'dns.extra.ch; dns2.extra.ch; dns2.triora.ch'. Please make sure that you configure the same DNS servers in registrar database and on your DNS server.I don't know if this could cause troubles with some people accessing the site, but it probably should be looked into.

Yeah gord's a nutcase any which way you look at it:)

I leave my lights up all year round though since the previous owners saw fit to close the eyelets on the screws holding them up :roll: I might change that this year and go to rope lighting as I could hide it more easily and it would be more durable. I live about 10 houses down from the griswalds though so no matter what I put up for lights it pales in comparison.

Sonnie The Z1 price was much higher then the 1HD price so he's likely right in that the 2HD will be cheaper for him. You might find it cheaper in the US though but I doubt you'd find better service.

No one ever sees it that way...so there Phuzzzzzt :P

Time to go home and kiss my kids...later all, have a nice weekend.


Oh and Andrew, tell your cousin that the router is on sale till Sunday or Monday. ABSound has one less ;)

Pretty cheap firewall if you ask me. You'd pay about the same for ZoneAlarm (if you were buying the Pro version). My brother-in-law will never own a laptop so this will do him fine.

Since we're all fans of 80s music here, see how you do on this 80s lyrics quiz! (http://www.yetanotherdot.com/asp/80s.html) I tried it at work earlier and got a score 67 or so. But people were yabbering about my cube so I couldn't hear myself think. I might try again later.

Hey Guys and Gals!

George,,Good to see you made it back in ole! Buddy!! :later:

Nice day today in Toon Town, snow is almost all gone, makes me question if I really needed new snow tires..


I did the same thing with the Intrepid! Put the old rims back on with Winter Tires!..Oh Well, At least we will be ready for the big dump when it happens. :E

As for Christmas Lights..I still don't have mine up yet, however I usually put them up early October or even late Sept sometimes..
We used to experience -20C temps consistantly in October a few years ago here in Saskatchewan. Too Cold to be putting up lights on an icy roof during those days.

Sonnie,,The FPTV screen would have to be at least 96" no less.
106" may be too large for my room.
Is the H2 Matinee available now?

Well, as I mentioned, I'm having computer problems big time. I'm on my laptop now, as it's the only computer I have working right.

[vent on]
That's pretty sad since I have 3 computers. 1 is down for the count. (I smoked the wiring harness on prior power supply, and that computer never worked right since. One I just built that was great in another case had problems. I did finally get the basic W2K stablized. However it's not letting me load ghost. I get an installer error. :evil: If I can get a network card working with that machine. (I'm sometimes horrible keeping up with driver discs), then I will try doing all the windows updates to see if that fixes my installer problem.

My main computer likes to reboot randomly. I replaced the CPU fans, checked the memory seating, but still it reboots. Occasionally I can get it stable enough to work a bit. I tried repeatedly ghosting that drive, and damn, ghost has an error in dos. :twisted: I'm about ready to say the hell with them all, have an electronics bar-b-q, and just use my laptop. Either that or I am going intel next time. I don't know how many of my problems are AMD related, however, I am sick of all these problems as much money as I have spent on computer gear. GRRRRR.

Andrew, judging by your pic in the "TTP Photo Gallery" section, I'd bet you aren't even 25 yet :D so I'll let your low score slide this time.
...I wish I still looked that young.

I sent the url for that quiz to all my sisters (well ok, not the ones I don't know) - and I'd bet that none of my brothers even remember the 80's...

[Lex]

Thanks Andrew. PCs have really kicked my ars lately. Well, I couldn't find a driver disc for this network card. I have no idea what make it is. I know I had an Intel, and a Netgear. I'll be danged if I know what this one is. I thought TI maybe. But I just don't know. Flat out, I've had a helluva time.

I'm on my main PC right now. It did this last time after rebooting 20 times I guess. I finally got it to not reboot once, and it ran for several days solid then. I don't know if it will run this long this time. I just don't know what could be the problem. Random reboots, usually before it gets all the way to the desktop. Ideas?

Lex

[Kevin P]

Well, Lex, reboots could be caused by a number of things:

1. CPU overheating? Check your HSF and temps. I doubt it's this though if it's only sporadic.
2. Flaky RAM? Got more than one stick? Try one at a time and see if that helps. Try reseating the sticks.
3. Got the latest BIOS?
4. Flaky driver(s)? Try booting into Safe Mode and see if the problems still occur. Try uninstalling/reinstalling your devices.
5. Flaky Windows installation? Try installing a 2nd copy of Windows into a new folder/partition, and see if the problems still occur.
6. Still no go? Dude, get a Dell. haha ;)

Hey Andrew,

I talked to Greg and he said that he's going to their folks (they're having a big party too). What time should we show up?

Normally I'd email you but I'm reloading Windoze on my Brother's computer so my main pc is shut off right now and I don't run email from my laptop. I guess I could call but were running out to shop (now that stores are on holiday hours 8:00am and their Christmas lights are up ;) )
Darn kids keep waking up at 6:00 am and on a Saturday even :cry: SATURDAY!!!! :x OH well, if it isn't the kids it's the cat wanting to be fed.
Have a good day... (yawn)...




"A RONSTER!"

[Andrew Pratt]

Middle of the afternoon is fine gord:)

I agree with kevin that it sounds like it could be a bad power supply or flaky memory. The safe mode trial is worthy trying too just to make sure its not a driver issue

Too bad with the PC problems Lex. Thoose darn things should just be there and work. Luckily I still have my retired Dell machine here since the Laptop went down in the F*ckupupCompany.com fall.
On the DNS issues on the previous page I can't see any reason for users not beeing able to pickup the server even if the entries as such seems wrong. I check the owners own domain and it shows just the same error.
I think it's more an issue of Routers and Proxies within a company that is cached just like in George case.
Anyhow I have informed my "provider" and is expecting some answer soon I hope. Before that we don't have to change any DNS setting Lex.

I actually had the same thing with my BlueZoned PC.
However, after O/C the cPU she is now rock solid..Figure that out if

A new Hard drive on my old PC has fixed that one as well.
Both are running AMD processors.

Kevin, all good ideas. However, I do think their's no need to update bios if it was working correctly. It posts correctly every time. It's when it gets into loading the os that things sometimes go haywire, and it reboots. I've actually had it reboot 3 times when closing the CD drawer! I'm planning to strip out the CD burner and put a standard CD back in and see what it does. If that doesn't fix it, I will also play with the memory, and removal of other peripherals.

Thanks for the sentiments guys, Mats, Andrew, Kevin and anyone else.

ok, now to the delimma. Is it hardware or software, or even bios.

Maybe I said earlier, but closing the CD drive door causes my system to reboot. Just poof, the screen goes blank and it reboots. I did get away with gently letting the door close once and it didn't reboot. However, it immediately starting blinking the light, and quickly did reboot even then. I tried 2 CD drives. I tried moving it from secondary primary to primary secondary, and it makes no difference. However, it does also reboot occasionally even when I haven't touched the CD drive. I'm flumoxed. I have no idea what to do. I can try another drive. I'll have to remove it from my other PC though. I think I got that PC stablized. However, I've not got it loaded from ghost image yet. Problems with installing ghost.

Pretty decent game...first half was great then the offence slowed down a bit but overall not a bad grey cup game.

Hey, guys, checking in finally at the end of my vacation. Wow... interesting time.

I've never gotten so much work done on the theater in one massive push. Tied up all loose ends with staggered studs, wiring, and Acoustiblok, hung two layers of drywall on all walls and ceiling, and am wrapping up the drywall thing now. Messy, messy. I'm beat. Stage, risers, and columns come next, methinks. Just as I was about to seal off my equipment area and hang the drywall towards the beginning of this, I figured out a way to completely rewire the equipment bay that is much better. Took quite a while, but the results are great so far. I'll post pics when I can. I've finally got a room, not just a space with studs and fiberglass!
:banana:

I also managed to bang into a ladder that had my powered screwdriver still sitting on top, which fell off and cut open my head. :evil: I guess every project needs a war trophy. I just needed that like I needed another hole in my head. (rim shot) Thank you folks, I'll be here all week!

I also completed my 12 week Body For Life fitness competition this week, and I feel great! Ready for this? I lost 10% body fat percentage, lost 26lbs of fat, gained 5lbs of muscle, cut 6 inches off my waist, and dropped from a 46L in a suit/coat size to a 42L. No joke... woo hoo! :banana: I'm still not all ripped and muscley like you see people in pictures, but I'm satisfied with the progress. I'd like to cut more body fat for muscle definition, so I think I'm going to sign up for another 12 weeks here shortly. Need a break first.

Jen's doing okay with being pregnant. Spending a lot of time resting in bed, so the investment in our A/V system for the bedroom is paying off for now, until I get the theater done. Jen and Nicole Farstad had another baby shower last weekend, this time for Nicole, so they had fun. Only another 4-7 weeks before the babies start arriving!

Great pic, Andrew! I love the colors--that's very, very similar to what I've been thinking of going with.

Good Morning Everyone!

Lex.... sorry about all the computer problems you are having... we have had our share this weekend with dial up.

I couldn't get much posting in over the weekend. I think I managed one post and my dial up reconnected about 5 times during that post. We are only connecting at between 9kb and 24kb so it's very slow. Glad we got cable here at the office.


Trevor.... no the 2HD has not been released yet... 12/1/03 is the sheduled date.


Nice shot of the party Andrew.


Chris.... sorry about the hole in your head... I got a HT construction scar myself. Mine is healing rather well but it's a nasty scar still. As far as your double drywall, did you put anything between your 2 sheets of drywall like glue or silicone or whatever or did you just screw it?

Sonnie on my back wall when I doubled up I simply screwed the two together with lots of screws...its solid as all he!! so I don't think you need to worry about glue. I crossed mine too so one sheet was vertical while the other is horizontal so I don't have over lapping seams.

Oh and Andrew... this weekend Angibug went to Fred's (like a mini K-Mart) here in our home town and found some of those black chairs with ottomans like you have in your HT. Their price was $109 each but they haven't sold any since they got them a few months ago so the manager stated he'd let us have them the day after Thanksgiving for only $79 each. I think this is a pretty good deal. They look just like the ones in the K-Mart picture and Bug said they were nice an wide.

Lex... can I post the Boxlight info over in Front Projection?

No... better not... I might get covered up. This must be low key!

Man... that 50HD DLP looks sweet and tempting but even at dealer cost it's a little out of my league.

Hiya Fellas,
Been plenty busy 'round here.

Finally got my new furnace and AC installed.
94% effecient 2stage burner/variable speed fan and 12 seer AC unit...much better than the 25 year old ones I had :T
Utility bills better drop!

Took the little lady up to the Mall of America for some early X-mas shopping and a nice little getaway weekend :)

My new snow tires arrived from the TireRack...had to get them mounted and balanced on my factory rims.

Glad to see everyone is doing ok

Sonnie, that puts me in a difficult position and frankly should have been handled via email. But since I'm on the spot, I'll have to answer honestly.

We've been hoping to land a projector retailer as an advertiser. If I give away the farm, we've got no real estate to grow crops if you know what I mean. Then there is the fact that if I let you do that, regardless if your making a profit or not, it makes it difficult for me to tell others that they can't do the same thing. So, I'm sorry, that just won't work at the Guide.

Oh, it hurts to have to say no to friends. I guess that's my situation though, I have to sometimes. Lastly, I'll have to ask you not to publicize even in TTP. Now if you want to take this to the next level and advertise, it would change everything. There's really no in between here Sonnie, if your a dealer, your making a profit likely. So, your just going to have to play the game the right way, and make a business out of it if you play here, and that includes emailing members with special offers. I just can't let that happen here. Sorry.

Lex

I understand Lex... although I do not plan to make this a big dealer thing and I do not plan on any profit regardless of what you might think. I obviously don't have the time nor desire to make enough money with it to advertise anyway either here or anywhere that it would cost me.

I was only trying to help out a few forum buddy's that might want to take advantage of it. But again, I understand your situation and appreciate your honesty. I will refrain from mentioning it here on the forum.

Nothing much going on here really. working on my sub plans and staying busy at work. I've got a training session for two days that I'm setting up and helpping at as well as a noon hour training demo of one of my server applications to the staff here at head office so time is flying by.
