Not much new going on. We had another dump of snow today. I believe the total was supposed to be between 5 and 10 cm. It was enough to make the drive to work today more enjoyable. I just pretend I'm Colin McRae doing a rally stage;-)
We didn't curl this last friday night. Not due to anything we did, just the other team didn't show up. We called the head of the league to see if he knew what was going on and after he placed a call to a member of the other team they told him that we had called to say we weren't going to be playing! He did tell us they were two players down and were supposed to find some more players. I guess they didn't, but to say that we called to cancel was a bit childish. Why would we be at the arena calling him if we had called them to cancel? The organizer agreed. People are strange and we'll call it out second win.
Starting monday I'll be living the bachelor lifestyle for a month as Marla is heading for Florida for a week long sales conference. After the conference she will be going to New Jersey (new Joyzee for the locals I guess ;-) ) for 3 weeks of training for her new job duties. I don't like the amount of time she'll be gone (nor does Marla), but it has to be done. Cedar dog will be going to her grandparents for the month while the cats and I will be doing the guy thing.
Marla and I have decided to go through Dell again for a computer. I've got a nice one spec'd out and we just need to call Dell to see if they can give us a deal for being a repeat customer. Basic specs are as follows:
Core 2 Duo 2.4 Ghz
2 GB Ram
250 GB HD
256 MB ATI X1300 Pro video card
24" widescreen monitor (Dell 2407FPW to be specific)
Yes, a 24" monitor. I wanted something with which I could also hook my Playstation 2 up to so I don't have to use our Grand Wega. The 2407FPW has DVI, VGA, Component, Composite and S-Video connections. It also has 4 USB ports and a built-in card reader.
It is a monster though compared to average monitors. It should just fit on the desk that we have. A 19" looks puny compared to it:
