Zombie cold, I think

[mdlbear]

I've been coughing all day, mostly with the feeling that I have a lump of crud stuck in my throat. At this point I have a headache and a scratchy throat, and feel as though something has eaten half of my brain. Zombie cold, definitely.

Went in to work for a short day this morning, and managed a reasonable walk. Left out the hill, though -- last thing I wanted was to be breathing hard.

Didn't do much actual work. Got into a couple of good discussions, though, and ripped some pretty good tracks off hvideo's video recording of my Baycon 2006 concert. (The link may eventually lead to a directory, but right now it's just dangling out in the breeze.) I'll use the ones taken off the soundboard -- they're mono, but much cleaner than the ones recorded out in the audience with a handheld videocam. The gig bag for my Vagabond travel guitar arrived -- it looks slightly less weapon-like than the original one, though only slightly, but seems more solidly built. And it's black, with a red lining. So I'm happy.

Ripping DVDs and splitting half-gigabyte audio files is a heck of a lot faster and smoother at work on my Pentium D machine with 2GB of RAM. Especially now that I'm using an 800MHz C3. Sure, it's quiet, but... I think I see a dual-core 64-bit CPU in my future. Next year.
