Golf

I went out golfing today for the first time all year. It was a department thing from work. And while I almost got called back in to work to fix a problem, I did have a great round. I shot a 78 (+15) over the 18 holes at Michaelbrook Ranch Golf Club. It was a ton of fun and it’s really too bad that I don’t have time or money to do it more often. Well, maybe next year…

Foxie 1.1.0

A while ago I reported on Foxie, a plugin for Internet Explorer, that among many other things provides tabbed browsing. I had stopped using it because of some bugs, but a new version is out and I’m going to give it another shot. Why not just use Firefox? I do at home, but at work, it’s easier on my laptop’s resources to not use two browsers, and I have to use IE for our network stuff.

COWON America
This is a really cool freeware media player for Windows. It has all the features of Windows Media Player and then some. It’s also smaller in size, looks cooler, and it’s free. I love it!

Judge accused of using sexual device in court

USATODAY.com – Oklahoma judge accused of using sexual device in court
Allegations that a district court judge engaged in improper conduct involving sexual acts are false and are part of an effort to attack and embarrass him, his attorney said.

District Judge Donald Thompson violated the code of judicial conduct “by his repeated use of a device known as a penis pump during non-jury and jury trials in his courtroom and in the presence of court employees while serving in his capacity as a district judge,” Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson wrote in a petition filed Wednesday with the Court of the Judiciary.

The sound of Thompson using the pump was heard by a number of witnesses, who said that the noise sounded “like air being pumped or released” from a blood pressure cuff.

NHL 06 | EBgames.com
So I tried NHL 06 last night. It promises to be the most fun since NHL 94, which would be great. Lately the series has suffered from arcade settings and extremely unrealistic gameplay. From what I’ve seen so far, it looks like that has improved. However, by far the worst problem plaguing the game lately is the limited way to configure your controller. I have a Logitech gamepad with a D-pad, 2 analog sticks, 6 buttons and 4 thumb buttons. For some stupid reason I can only assign 4 of the 6 buttons the way I want; the other 2 appear to be hardcoded to control the ingame music player (!!!!). Pisses me off. Must bother EA and have them explain this tenacity…

Get a FREE iPod!

I decided “To hell with it – I’m gonna try to get a free iPod!” It seems easy enough, sign up for $1 and get a $25 Canadian Tire gift card. Then refer five friends to do the same.

You’ll be hearing from me
