Oddness
So I take the plunge and get a flat screen monitor (the Samsung 930 B). I even get a new video card with a DV) – out as well.All that, and the fricking new monitor only comes with an analog cable!?!?!! Why do manufacturers do that? I had that happen with both of my SATA drives as well.
On the whole though, the monitor seems quite nice.

Nick agitates

While I’m waiting
As my extraordinarily long SQL statement processes, here are some things I’ve been wanting to blog about
- A very funny morning
- An interesting article on the old (mostly 19th century) practice known as “Catch Wrestling“. It was the original predecessor to today’s pro wrestling, and was real. They mostly worked out of carnivals and consisted of extraordinarily tough men who could take on all comers.
- Bolivia is about to elect a president who promises to legalize coca production. That would be a much needed dose of reality for South America, and help to stop their slide into a continent of gangster states. Sadly he seems to be in the Chavez/Castro/Mussolini mold on everything else, so any gains would probably be wasted. It’s surprising that’s not getting more attention.
- A very good password generator.

Technology is moving my way
Bluetooth coming to home phones? From Uniden. It seems horribly insecure (like all Bluetooth devices) but the lure of the wireless headset is powerful. At $200 a bit too expensive though.

Looks interesting
Another good tech podcast. It’s with Leo Laporte and someone I’ve never heard of. It’s called “Inside the Net” and it’s about the so-called Web 2.0 thing happening right now. Quite a lot of potential.

Humbug
So I join Experts-Exchange and then I think of a better way to fix my problem. Crap. Oh well, I’m only out $9.99.

This is cool
