I finally caught the Red Ring of Death
Feb 18th
Well, it took two years and three months, but I finally became a victim of the "Red Ring of Death:"
So I’ve contacted Microsoft support and they (hopefully) will repair it. I can’t make it "red light on demand" yet. But pretty much, if I play for just a few minutes it stops working.
This seems to be happing pretty frequently lately, as I’ve gotten a few messages from friends saying "Sorry, I’ll be missing for a few weeks while my system is repaired." So it looks like all the original systems must have been affected, it’s just taking its good old time on some boxes.
Crazy House
Feb 8th
It’s a little crazy here tonight… I think that there are more kids than adults… Allison is having her ninth birthday party tomorrow and she has invited a couple of friends to spend the night. So, it’s just a little crazy in here.
I always hate to say "if you look on the sidebar" in a post, because I change this site so often that it’s probably not going to be there long, but "having said that…"
If You Look At The Sidebar you will notice a Biggest Loser-type scale. This is because a group of us (eight, I think) are trying to lose weight along with the Biggest Loser Million Pound Match-Up. Some of us (not me) are doing better than others. I’ve lost three pounds so far, but at one time I had lost over five. And I’ve put some back on. You can see our Biggest Loser page here.
