My workstation lives!!!

I have installed a new harddrive and an OS (XtreamPain). In addition, I have installed the drivers for my sound card. I still need to install drivers for my video card and my scanner. Of course, there is a ton of software I need to install. Oh well.

Race Across America (RAAM) is currently happening. The following is from an e-mail update:

"Solo rider Russ Goodwin was hit by his following support vehicle last night. Although Goodwin was not injured in the collision, reportedly there was a heated exchange, following which, according to Goodwin, his crew left him there, forcing Goodwin’s retirement from the race. It is against race rules to ride at night without a following vehicle."

This is one tough race.

My website has been down for a week now. On Monday last, the DSL modem failed. First I called my ISP EasyStreet who comfirmed the problem was hardware and then sent me over to Quest. Quest agreed to shop a new DSL modem which I found in my back yard on Friday. But, as I was going out of town, I did not get a chance to install it untill Sunday. Then, I discovered that the new modem only had one ethernet port, so I had to buy additional hardware so that all of my computers were networked. Just got every thing back today.

Well, not everything. My workstation's hard drive has justed failed. Good thing I just purchased an IBM ThinkPad x40!

Either the redneck really hates bicyclist or they really hated biology.

I like bicycling, but hopefully, it will not come to this.

I may have friends in high places.
