Remember that stuff being called "Go Litely" at some point. That was just cruel. There was nothing litely about it.

Yea, you don't want the Go Strongly solution. You would need a seat-belt to keep you on the toilet seat from rocket propulsion.

Ah ha ha, one of our graphic artists has some friends that are going to tell me how to fix a 10 year old mac server that they haven't made parts for for years. None of the Mac guru's I know have parts for it. Told her to have them call me. When you could get a server for $200, tried to get them to let me to buy one for spares, but noooo. Now we have to wait for one to get shipped for $100. They have spares of all the pc server stuff.

Cheers guys.

Btw Wayne, get a nice soothing anaesthetic cream to rub on your freckle. It'll make it more comfortable after hours of TP abuse.

Nah, just sit outside with a garden hose. Wait, Wayne is in the midwest, that might not work this time of year.

Congrats Jeff, Sharon is a saint.

That wasn't too bad. I'm finishing the last of the saltwater before 6am now.

Done and done!

We got there right at 9:45 and were done around 11:00. Everything is cool with no issues to worry about. He removed one polyp and sent it out for a biopsy but doesn't foresee anything. The doc was really cool. He even played The Who on his Ipod for me whilst I was waiting to get knocked out.

The only recommendation is to take 25-30 mg of fiber daily. Unless I have problems I don't get another for 3 years.

My gut doc thinks everyone should take that fiber stuff you mix with water every day for the rest of their lives. The stuff you mix with water to make sure you are getting enough liquids as well.

I think many of the gut docs think we should eat hay.

I eat a LOT of fruit. Apples, oranges, bananas and grapes. Peaches when they are available.

Smoking!

On our big bad mega computer now has three added in video cards. We built it originally with the two GeForce GTX980 cards that are huge. Each of those cards are two slots wide and each have two cooling fans. Each card has 2048 cuda cores whatever that is. The cuda cores are used to make our mapping program run faster. They can't do the proper 3D display so we had to add in yet another card to do the 3D mapping it is a Quado K4200. It has more cuda cores and all three cards are in place and running happy.

When I called tech support on how to connect the SLI bridges the tech support guy said it can't work. With a bit of stubbornness I figured it out. Screw tech support.

Now I need to add in the two new 1TB SSD drives and run them as a stripe RAID for even more speed. It will have 4 SSD drives, 4 spinning drives and 12 cooling fans total. The power supply is 880 watts.

It has churned on a single project for a week in the past. More POWER! Arf Arf Arf.

Yup but I only remember hearing a little of it. My nurse asked if I was feeling groggy and I gave the Devil Horns of metal and then I woke up in the recovery room.

Wife and I got some lunch on the way home then Hank and I took a 2 hour nap.

That monster would fall asleep reading my email.

Called around and $900/mo is the cheapest I can get more than 10mb upload speed.

It is strange how the USA invented the internet and we have some of the slowest access to the internet of the developed world. The USA is not even in the top 10.
