• New Copper Coil Heatsink

    I was able to get a new heatsink for my desktop computer this past weekend. It’s a beautiful copper coil sort, totally better than the old one that serviced my Athlon 64 processor for so long. The processor is running @ 38 d. Celsius thus far, great for putting it in with the new heatsink…

  • My Birthday July 18, 2009

    We did go to SC and get some fireworks 1 2 for my birthday, and to pick up milk from the farm yesterday. I have my birthday cheesecake in the oven. (yes, I am making my own birthday cake, beats having one from a store …) Frank had me open my presents already. A bunch…

  • Fireworks 2009

    On July 4th of this year (2009) we had our 2nd Annual Family Fireworks show, but previous years tradition really started it with fountains only, back a few years more. This year we increased what we did, hand picking each item ourselves, not getting any “pre packaged” things. We go to Phantom Fireworks off of…

  • My Kittens

    My newest kitties are 12 weeks old today. I’m keeping the boy and girl (Prince and Princess Aurora) of the feral kitten group born April 20th under our house … the largest two of the kittens. I separated them right before they turned 6 weeks old because the mother cat was starting to bring dead…

  • Wii Power Cord Freezer Trick

    Our Wii system was working fine since I last wrote about it not working: hyperthinking.us/weblog/2009/03/02/wii-power-none-then-yes/ until I discovered it wouldn’t turn on after I moved some things around yesterday. It either wasn’t working beforehand, since we did have a sudden house power down then on again Power situation on Sunday, or that didn’t affect it…

  • My video camera is out

    My Sony Handycam that I got for Christmas ’08 is in for service @BestBuy due to Baby Q pulling it down off the shelf it was charging on near the end of last week. It still works fine, but the case is crushed on the right side and it’s askew at the top seams, so…

  • Seeing things much better

    I wrote about my new contacts the other day and now have an update. My re-visit I saw a different eye doctor and she listened to my complaints about the Mono Vision and tried a few new hand-held lenses for my left eye and finally adjusted my prescription and got me a new left-eye contact…

  • Chrome

    I’m trying the newer browser by Google “Google Chrome”. It is nice looking, very minimalist (something I like a lot) and it seems OK. I use a small theme in Firefox for keeping the interface small to allow more “browsing space”. The look of Google Chrome is flat and that is also nice. I have…

  • Seeing things differently

    I don’t have good distance vision, start losing detail a few feet from myself without corrective lenses. I can get by like that but don’t drive a car like that — I could if I didn’t need to read street name signs at all. I mean I can get around fine where I know everything,…
