Well, sorry for no updates for a while. Daddy has been hogging the computer downloading drivers and RMAing parts trying to build the ultimate Oblivion machine. Here you can see how he is even making me help. I cry and cry, but he just wipes up the tears and tells me to stop snivelling and grow up.
:-(
Anyway, hopefully I can convince him to hook up my computer. Now that Oblivion is out I should be able to blog on his old machine. Or maybe he will be so busy playing he will forget I exist. 
Happy Days

Well, in the month since I last was able to sneak away to update my blog,
I've had lots of fun! Here is a video of me playing on my awesome mat! It
is lots...

I know just how you feel Jonah.
My brother Brody (who is also your 2nd cousin, btw) recently bought a bunch of parts off of newegg to build a new dream machine (the reason why is still a bit sketchy). Guess who got stuck spending hours and hours getting it to work, instead of doing their projects, homework, and labs?
Then, after spending a whole night debugging the hardware (only to discover the power switch wasn't hooked up correctly), I probably put in another 10 hours over the next week trying to solve a mysterious graphics glitch. In the end, Brody flashed his BIOS to a newer version on a whim, and that fixed it good. Ho, Hum. THEN, 2 nights ago (about 3 weeks with the new system) Brody decides to use Partition Magic to re-letter his main drive from D: to C:. The reason: to fix some error a PS1 emulator was giving him about a log file on non his non-existant C drive. So, instead of working on my Seminar Presentation, I stayed up til 2am working on that, only to come to the conclusion he needed to reinstall windows. Arg.
At any rate, I got my Seminar Presentation done; gave it today, and it seemed to go well. It was on OS Virtualization.
Now, when I build my computer this summer with all the $$ I'm making at my new job I should have a better idea of what I want in my system, seeing what Brody got / didn't get. That reminds me, tell your dad that I got a job for now and for the summer as a Software Tech for Avista Inc, right here in Platteville. I'm writing Node tests on the software to run the Boeing 767 Refueler for Smiths Aerospace. It's only $10.69/hr, but looks real nice on a resume for when I get a salary job out of school! :-)
Wow, this Comment is turning into more of a sub-blog entry. Maybe I should just make my own blog someday.
Jonah, you should do some l33t h4x on ur dads new PC. That'd get him back for slave laboring you.
Ha, I got Daddy's computer up and running. His new computer's CPU is running 40C and Northbridge 45C under load.
^_^
He won't let me play Oblivion yet though. Hopefully he gives me this computer one day though... I can't wait to play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
