the Y i work for on the weekends is selling trees for the holidays. Apparently, they’ll be up there on top of the stack, chucking trees to each other. If i get a chance, I’ll try to snap a pic of that
two large arcade style DDR dance pads in the dance studio of one of the high schools I work in. I peeked inside. There’s handrails and everything.
just testing ability to post via eMail… but people like this little drawing by Mark, so I’ll leave it up, I guess
it’s cozy… has a fireplace in a big common room. The heat is a bit much in the little bedrooms, once you close the doors. It’s also fun to tell the kids we’re “staying with a hairy friend” when they ask where we’re sleeping.
stack of camp mattresses. I totally forgot to take any ropes course pics for blogging.
Last night, after a little issue with the scanner and a reinstallation of some drivers, a couple of my programs were acting weird, so I rebooted, and right after logging in, my screen went black. It seemed like the system was running. I managed to blind reboot it once. I couldn’t log in via VNC, though, so I knew the video drivers weren’t running correctly. I tried reloading the original Dell drivers, but it made no difference… still went black. Removed the video drivers and I could log in just fine… though I can only deal with giant chunky 800×600 for so long. At some point I found out that the user account I set up for Sarah could log in just fine with the Dell video drivers loaded… so that led me to believe there was some sort of software/driver thing going on. I couldn’t figure out what was causing it, though. I tried disabling everything I could think of, and it still went black on my username. So I refocused on the video drivers, tried a couple different ones and a couple methods of completely removing the old drivers… but still no luck. Finally, I tried these Omega drivers and they seemed to do the trick. I dunno how well hooking the laptop up to the TV is going to go, the next time we want to watch something I downloaded on the big screen, but at least I’m not computerless anymore. There’s a bit more fear, as time goes on, that this laptop will just plain die, one day soon… regardless of the transplant/replacement of most of its innards.
There was also a threat of canceling the Adventure Ed overnight for one of the schools because of some new electronic filing system that all trips have to go through and some CPS paperwork and legal department bull… but I guess they finally worked it all out today. We got the go ahead this afternoon. We were on the verge of coming up with some sort of concelation day for all the kids who had signed up. They were still signed out of their classes and stuff, so they were technically ours for the day, but we probably would’ve been restricted to school property. I’m glad that didn’t end up happening. The high ropes experience is really a key element in my mind.
Psyched that I got the mophoblogging going again. I was doing that stuff back in early 2005 (via Livejournal). I’m pretty sure moblogs and that term existed then, but I wonder if I could’ve coined mophoblogging, or snagged a related domain name or something.
A Dunkin’ Donuts with a counter and stools? Reminds me of Main st Webster, before the remodel (no cigarette machine). i should’ve asked if they had mugs.
