Okay, NewEgg has redeemed itself, UPS still sucks though. I checked my credit card statement and we finally, 7 days later, got the ten dollar credit we were offered. The CF card is still working, faster and better than ever.
I'm continuing to play the King's Quest games in DosBox these days. Tonight I just completed King's Quest II: Romancing the Throne with 175 points out of 185.
Recently I have discovered the joys of DOS emulation on my Windows XP machine. DOSbox is an open-source project which provide MS-DOS emulation that is tailored to gaming. There are builds for Win XP, Mac and Linux.
Success! The new 512MB camera card arrived today and, so far, is working out well. Check out Wika's latest set of photos from Nova's daycare birthday party. Read more about The New Camera Card Arrives...
Okay, my initial frustration over my NewEgg order has been diminished a little. I was offered ten dollars off of a comparable product and went ahead and ordered a larger flash card. I hope my ancient Canon Powershot can handle a 512MB card. It has already destroyed a 256MB PQI card and I was concerned that it was size limited. Anyhow, I will following the tracking info to the minute if I have to this time.
I still have not done much in the way of updating this site but I needed to get some info out another horrible on-line shopping experience I have had. Read more about CD Universe Has a New Contender for Crappiest On-Line Shopping Experience...
What the heck happened to my site?! Well, in an effort to kick my butt in gear, and force myself to reorganize and redesign my site.
I've stripped out the look-and-feel elements and will slowly be working on applying an automated system of templates. I will also be deleting and or rearranging sections to help reign in some of the urban sprawl of my site architecture. This is a bit of an experiment. It's somewhat unsual to put the design process of a site out in the open. This should be interesting... check back soon for updates.
