10:53 AM - This month so far

I haven't been blogging much.  Here's a brief rundown.

  • Caryn and I went to Kalamazoo for our anniversary.  It was very nice.  We went to the chappel at K college where we got married, out to dinner at the Blue Dolphin (rehersal dinner location), etc
  • Back to school.  I'm taking networking, stats and two English courses. 
  • My computer flipped out on Friday.  The display was black.  Part of the problem was a lose cable as the connector isn't very good on the video card and it doesn't hold.  However, the card is also not initializing the display (two different ones) sometimes regardless of the cable position.  The fan was clogged and cleaning that has minimized problems, but not completely stopped them.  Once the computer is up, it works as expected.  Very strange. 
  • The monitor on my Mac is cycling through blue, green and normal periodically.  The color is not consistent.  I'm waiting for a replacement.  It was bought in 2001.  15 inch displays suck anyway. 
  • My father had a birthday this month.  So far I haven't done anything for it just as he didn't send me a card or acknowledge my birthday.  He sent me an anniversary card, but that has a sore spot with me for another reason.  I don't feel like talking about it.  I had a few drinks on Sunday night and actually prepared an iCard with a picture of my cat's ass for him.  I didn't send it though.  .Mac allows you to use your own pictures.  All I wanted at my birthday was an email.  That's free.  I realize he doesn't have money.  I know the anniversary card was a ploy to get a good birthday gift.
