I thought today would be better!
When I had high hopes that today may be a better day. I didn’t want to push myself but thought that maybe I could get through the day without having to take Tylenol 3s for my sciatica. I didn’t do much just some walking around the house but again spent a majority of my day lying on my side on the couch. Well I was pretty good until about 8:30when the leg pain started up again! About...

Gotta love the net
Watching a live U20 game on my big screen plasma, another live streaming game on my laptop as well as another replay game using my laptop and my Slingbox! Sports lovers dream come true!
Brazil's Mistake
If Brazil get’s knocked out of the U20 World Cup Round of 16 by Spain tonight it will be their own fault. Their keeper made the critical mistake of taking too much time in setting up his wall, he assumed that the Spanish would wait and have the 10 yd distance enforced. Smart thinking on behalf of the Spanish by taking the shot and catching the Brazilians off guard. If the ref is ready there...

This looks like a great application. Looking forward to testing it out
Laptop Rebuild
Just started rebuilding my Asus Z62FM Laptop with Windows Vista Ultimate. I started rnning into wireless problems and screwed things a little more when I tried to fix things. With my back problems I have been using that macine to remote control my main desktop. Probably a good thing that I am rebuilding it. When I first imaged it with Vista in December, not all of the Vista drivers had been...
I Love Watching
Being a former goalkeeper myself, I love watching the young keepers in the U20 World Cup, especially their reactions when a shot gets through. After thet make a big save (or if a goal gets by) they immediately call their defenders to task, as a goalkeeper should. Some get quite animated! I always tell young goalkeepers that I am training, that if a goal gets by them, it is never their fault...
One Advantage!
The only advantage that I can find from having a bad back that I am sufferring with now is that I can lie on the couch all day and watch the U20 World Cup! Soccer all day! Go Canada Go!
iPhone Hype New Curve coming
With all the iPhone hype and the fact that it is not available in Canada, I just bought a new Blackberry Curve from eBay! SWIMBO needed a new phone as her older motorola is not charging any more so I gave her my Nokia E62 yesterday. She is not overly fond of that phone, and I wanted a Curve (same as Pearl but full Qwerty keyboard and spell check) but since I recently upgraded to the Pearl (which...

Going Crazy! Ram Upgrade
I am going crazy here trying to figure out a Ram upgrade!. Upgrading from 2 GB to 4 on my Intel Vista Ultimate Machine. All Ram tests fine and runs great when in pairs in the machine. When running 4 GB I get periodic lock ups and 100% CPU usage! Not sure if it becuase I am using Dual and Single Sided together. Keep swapping pairs to find out. Check back soon for final results.
She's fine!
Well Breanna had x-rays done and there is no break in her arm. What a relief! She wasn’t all that bad today and actually went to the pool for a short workout, she didn’t use her arms though and swum with a flutter board. Looks like she just sprained herself!

Love my new setup! Dual Display
I recently went back to a dual display setup for my primary PC. Picked up an ASUS MW221U 22” Wide Screen LCD on dealer demo and now have it hooked up on my primary system via Dual Display. My old Viewsonic VX-2025 20” is now the secondary display via RGB connection and is also connected to my Mac Mini via DVI. Quite nice opening email in one monitor and working on other...
Arrggg
Trying to get into a webinar using Webex and can’t with IE7 and Vista. Ended up installing Firefox and can get in now. Should have done that some time ago. Still will use IE for most sites but I like Firefox and Opera as well.
Ouch
Not a good night at Soccer Practice last night. I slipped while playing and tweaked the knee, and poor Breanna took a fall and landed on her arm. She is still complaining about pain today so she is off for X-Rays just to be safe. Hopefully there is no break as she has a game and a swim meet this weekend
Swim meet
Sitting at a swim meet that bre is competing at. She was first in her heat!
