Annoyances

[mdlbear]

Picked up a couple of chipset coolers yesterday hoping to silence the video card that I borrowed from work a week or two ago. Only to find that the heatsink is glued onto the chip, and the fan is non-standard. I am now looking for an AGP video card that's old enough to be fanless and new enough to have a DVI connector. That, or banish it to the bedroom recording studio with an old, quiet video card and the Delta-1010 sound card. Need to do that anyway, since it's time to start recording again. I'm going to go down to Micro Center this afternoon and rummage through their bargain bin, if they have one this week.

My left shin is grumping at me; I'll probably have to take it easy on my walk today. Rose garden, I think.

The office is a mess. So's our bedroom, which I told the kids I'd clean up (as part of a challenge which we all failed miserably at).

The fact that it was "borrowed" from work made going out and getting a new card a much easier decision, even though the machine it was ganked from is currently out of service.
