I do so love a good parade!
Okay, I’m having a computer issue that I’m hoping to crowd source the solution for as Google has not been my friend. My main pc (HP, AMD Athlon II X4) has started booting with no video. It posts, and goes to the windows login screen (which you can tell from the audio), but absolutely zero video… not even the bios splash screen. I’ve run upteen tests on the motherboard, ram and video card and everything checks out as okay. Running win7 Home Premium 64-bit. The only way to get video is to kill the power and try again… and again… and again.
The only things that changed in the timeframe sorta near the problem starting aside from the endless windows patches that have come out in the last week or so were the addition of an extra stick of Crucial ram and the installation of LOTRO which insisted on trying to install DX9 everyone time I opened it (I’ve since deleted it as I just don’t have the time to mess with it). Everything in the case is seated properly, and nothing seems to be overheating.
Thoughts? It’s really killing my productivity.

Sean is actually a paid intern, so this sort of thing is all par for the course… just a little more rapid than expected.
We were back in Indiana this week providing photography support for a reunion which was interesting. The tabletpc decided to go in to failure mode, so I had to wait until I got back to The People’s Republic to finish this, but we did manage to bring something back from Indiana with us. We have one of my nephews for the week!!! A four-year-old uber-kinder! It should prove entertaining…
…I just have to remember how to entertain a four-year-old…
…Good gravy, I’m getting old!

Kind of reminds me of Arsenic and Old Lace. [Editor's Note: We again apologize for Dave's predilection for really old movie references. In his defense who can resist Cary Grant movies during his early, manic phase?]
This is day four of my vacation, and I absolutely refuse to go to work today. I shall have one day of vacation that doesn’t involve work…
…well… maybe a few performace reviews…

Well, here we are finally starting to meet a few of the folks behind the scene at the Slightly Off-Topic Network. I can’t believe the News Guy is going to miss the broadcast though… TV is a bad habit.
So, I’ve been on vacation all week. To give you an idea of the life of the boss, this is the first day I haven’t actually had to go to work! I’ve been spending the mornings dealing with equipment and training issues and afternoons at Laurie’s workplace helping her inventory the book depository.
Note to body builders: If you’re looking for a great upper body workout, I suggest you volunteer at your local high school’s book depository. Spend a few hours there a day or two a week, and I assure you that you will have shoulders and arms to be the envy of all! Happily, we should finish up this afternoon.
