Busy day today
Well, today was a pretty busy day.
We had a farewell party for one of the guys at work at Hooters in Mission Valley. Since the wife is out of town, she is in Italy now, I figured I would go. Since she managed to demagnetize her ATM card I gave her mine for the trip so I had to go to the bank and get some funds to pay for lunch.
I was on my way home and decided to go to Circuit City, as my sound card was out and I also wanted to see about getting a new phone. The phone we currently have does not have an answering machine and also since we added the family room, we can’t hear it when it rings. Well I found the perfect phone. It has a built in digital answering machine, a clock, a phone book, and all kinds of other wizzbang stuff. But what is better is that it has a repeater station that I was able to set up in the family room and now we can hear the phone when it rings and even answer it in the family room. I also got my sound card and a web cam, though I am still trying to get that to work with my Yahoo Instant Messenger.
Anyway, I was almost late to the farewell party as I was playing with the phone and left late. I love new toys, and just had to have it all set up before I left.
When I got to Hooters I couldn’t believe how many people showed up. Our group was at least 40 to 50 people. We got a lot of attention from the Hooter Girls, well the younger guys anyway. And of course the food was great.
I stayed there for about an hour and a half and said goodbye to Chris as he transferees to Texas and then came home to install the sound card and web cam. The sound card works great and I am sure the web cam is just operator error. I may have to reinstall it. The picture looks great and Yahoo says it is compatible but then they say webcam not found or you are using a firewall when I try to use it on YIM. I turned off the firewall nd still no luck. I’ll figure it out since I have all weekend here by myself.
Anyway that is it for the day. Have a great weekend everyone.
