$60, but why?

Got back my pics of the 2006 LV Marathon on Saturday. I must say i looked like i was going to die. I really need to do something about that before the next attempted marathon. They charged me $60 for a CD of the pics (4 of them), and about 10 various ones of the race itself. Really not a very good deal when you consider that they could not manage to get one Picture of my better half!

Last week an entity called "DVD marathon" sent an email to myself and the missus. Claiming to each of us that they had Close up finish line Video of us. My question via email to this man was: How can you prove this, when Gen saw no cameras when she finished the marathon? I told him i would like to see some sort of proof, a still, or something. No answer as of yet. I suspect that "DVD marathon" is a Scam!

Short man comin at ya!

DSL, Windows XP, and my Dog.

Well, my new DSL won't seem to let me VPN out of the link, and i NEED to be able to vpn out so i can work from home at times. The sad part of all of this is, i switched to DSL from cables because the Cable was sucking, and is $50 per month, compared to the $30 for the DSL. Maybe i can configure another type of VPn to work with this... arg.

XP is a pain in the butt, the disk i have was causing my Laptop to not load the add/remove programs applet in XP, so i had to revert back to an older Sp1 disk, and then upgrade to sp2, good times. I may have to purchase a copy of XP that will allow me to upgrade to Vista for free. OR, i could just switch to Linux if i can get Wireless to work.

My dog won't let me sleep, every night, weather we put her in her kennel, or i leave her out, she wakes me up somehow. Given, i sleep very light, everything wakes me up. PJ sleeps through everything, wich is great, but I'm dying, i can't even see this screen right now! I'm thinking getting some Lunesta (TM), for the dog would work....
