I do not get angry very easily. But this week, I got mad. This Tuesday was the last day of preschool, so we had a free day of sorts during which parents could come and play outside with their kids with water, bubbles, hula-hoops, etc. I brought my digital camera to take some pictures and was keeping on the desk when I was not using it. Sometime during the day, it was stolen. Stolen! From a preschool! And, not just that. One of my coworkers had her daughter with her and she had left her wallet on the desk as well (she is 8...it was a monkey wallet, obviously belonging to a kid). That got stolen too. From an 8 year old! And do you know what was in that wallet? Money for the bookfair. How sad. I have my suspicions of who took it (I mean really, there was a finite number of people in that room. It isn't too hard to make a pretty good guess...). I filed a police report, but the school is still not sure if insurance covers personal property. Sigh. The camera was a graduation gift from Lucas. It was a great camera. Some people are huge jerks.

That's all I have to say about that.

News: Sony: Key PS3 launch titles hit in 2007 - ComputerAndVideoGames.com

However, Reeves maintained that shifting PS3s in the early days won't be a problem, such is the strength of the PlayStation brand: "We have built up a certain brand equity over time since the launch of PlayStation in 1995 and PS2 in 2000 that the first five million are going to buy it, whatever it is, even it didn't have games."

I would be laughing more if I knew this wasn't totally true. Sony could take a dump in a box, label it PS3, slap a $500 price tag on it, and it would outsell everything.

I'm one of those guys who has a huge list of projects. I tend to work on multiple things at once a little bit at a time and it takes me a long time to actually finish any of them, unless it's something that must be done or I really want to do. One of the things that has been sitting at the top of my list for awhile was turning the news page at the pop.vox.music site into a b2e blog.

The biggest hurdle in doing this is keeping the layout and design of the page intact so that it still looks like the rest of the site. Danny helped me out with that by showing me this tutorial on how to turn any web page into a b2e skin. I also was waiting for Danny to install the new version of b2e that supported absolute domains. I didn't want to have to install b2e again in the popvoxmusic.com folder on our server since that would be a little redundant. With this new version, you can have blogs that are on different domains on your server. So now check out http://popvoxmusic.com/news.php

It's not nearly finished yet. I have to make the actual blog part look nice. I'm still not sure how we're going to get the alternating backgrounds to work but I think we can do it. But I'm stoked that we were able to create a new blog on a different domain using b2e. I'm also stoked I'm doing something on the computer besides playing World of Warcraft.

So the university is launching a campaign for a new software that's going to help keep the network clean. Too bad they were dirty enough to steal someone else's advertising idea.

I'll credit my brother Mike for sending me this link. WTF!

Here's why. My friend Chris got a new video card last week and offered me his old one. It is a PCI Express card. I don't have a PCI Express motherboard but I've been wanting one. I found a good one on Newegg for $55. I ordered the card Wednesday night. It will be on my doorstep tomorrow. I also just upgraded to 1 GB of RAM. So 1 GB of RAM, my new motherboard, and my 256 MB ATI something card (not quite sure what it is, but it's free and better than the card I have now) will make some of that fog in World of Warcraft go away for sure.
