Alright, I want to do it... I'm not sure if I can, but, I've accepted the challenge:To write a 50,000 word novella in 30 days. Starting November 1st.Tomorrow there is a regional kickoff at a local Panera store. So, hey, at least it is an excuse to have a coffee and something yummy from their bakery.

The last few plays had me on the edge of my seat... let me tell you, but, the Cardinals pulled it off for a win over the Tigers. WOOHOO! This is a win, which noone thought would happen, after 24-year drought. It is cool, sitting in my nice quiet house, I can hear FIREWORKS, Cheering, horns honking! The sounds of general merry-making!It's a good day to be a St. Louisan, for sure. ~satisfied nod~...

The lyrics are suprisingly good, the engineers commenting throughout the video are young and relatively hip-looking overall (read, somewhat dorky guys and really pretty women).ASHRAE has a few things going on to interest and support Students and that is just awesome. Here's the License to Chill page on their website. Licensed to Chill features a hot soundtrack and interviews with young members highlighting the importance of...

I had some problems when putting my HP800ps on the network. The IT guys had assigned a specific IP address to it that they wanted me to use. The card comes pre-programmed with an IP addy, but, you should be able to change it fairly easily. I say *should* but, it was slightly convoluted. The IT guy couldn't quite access the ability, and the Help files were NOT a help.So, I did what I do and posed the question to an Autodesk newsgroup. Meanwhile, the IT guy physically takes the card from plotter and puts it into a desktop HP printer owned by our...
