It's Hot and Witchdoctor Names

Was yesterday Monday or what!?!? After spending the day rushing around, trying to be several different places at once the veranda has never looked so good; well it is more functional when it's not summertime in the Deep South. Don't think the temp was that high, but the humidity is horrible. You can see the air you breathe. There was a frog and a catfish at the door wanting inside when I finally made it home. Well, that might be slightly exaggerated. But there was a dog at a client's yesterday that I let in by mistake while going in and out to check the outdoor speakers. After fussing profusely about him leaving, it was obvious he wanted no part of going back outside. A call was made to the owner and it was permitted that he stay inside. Ever seen a smug look on a dog's face?

After shopping around for an AMD CPU to upgrade my gaming machine, it boggles the mind about how they number things. Why can't a dual core 2.4 gigahertz processor be a DC2.4 instead of an Athlon 64 3800+-++ whammajamma mofine l1 l2, 512, 128, throw in the kitchen sink n imabettathanintel named thangy? Why do they do that? Is there any method or reason when it comes to to their numbering system? Okay, Intel has started the voodoo naming too. Maybe my Andy Rooneyish attitude is just not with the times. Besides , my next purchase will probably be another video card for this machine. Yep, two of 'em. Truly, I am the elder geek of my domain.

Time for my old geek butt to hit the trail. Don't let Monday creep into your Tuesday.
