Woo hoo! It’s 2:19 in the afternoon! And nothing is happening! Well, okay, Outlook is archiving a whole crapload of ancient e-mail. That’s about it, though. It was weird—I got handed a big project earlier this morning, then the same guy who handed it to me came back fifteen minutes [...]

Okay, so I’m trying to get that video card working tonight, and it continues to refuse to be cooperative. As I mentioned, last night I wiped out the nForce motherboard drivers, thinking that might help things. As long as I was going to need to put those back on, I thought I’d update [...]
