I can always tell it's "winter" in Hawaii because Punchbowl is so green. Most of year it is brown and dry. It was also a classic Halloween...dark, cool and drizzly. No. 1 son carved the punkin and it looked great with the flickering candle. I got all of 3 trick or treaters...just the way it goes in my neighborhood these days, sigh. Good news is there's lots of candy left. Bad news is, there's lots of candy left.
Medium is having a marathon since the new season is starting next week.
I got the new video card finally. I suppose David was trying to tell me that my vintage card did not support the new monitor, but I didn't get it. I finally did when it started acting strange...glowing colors around the pointer and vertical green lines. The old card got a lot of use and since it still works it will join the other computer parts I have scattered around the house, just in case someone needs it. ATI now has TV out on nearly all the new cards. The ATI driver reload looked easier then in the past, but alas when it said reboot, I got the black screen of death. As it turns out it was the "white connector" which my system doesn't like too well. Everything is up and running now, thanks to my IT son. His benefit is that he actually has the new card in his computer. He repeately informed me that I don't need the high end card because I don't play games. I haven't tried any lately, but I'm sure the first person shooters still give me motion sickness, so he has a point.
I feel a bit restless. I'll be the rebel today and only be 15 minutes early for work instead of 30. Heh. PTL, I'm half day...the age ole question comes up. Do I clean house or go a-yarn crawling. And, will I remember I need golden raisins for the oatcakes?
