I cleaned the humidifier. You wouldn’t believe the crust I had to scrape off the bottom of it. I didn’t take any photos of it, so I can’t post those.

I started trying to use Google’s RSS/ATOM reader. It’s kind of neat. As a secondary note, I’m using this post to see how it reacts to new posts. You can use the google reader if you have a google account (if you don’t let me know) and go to http://www.google.com/reader/

I need to clean the stuff out of the humidifier. You’re supposed to clean it every week. I have shut it down until I get the time to clean it up.

Today I got my new mouse for my laptop. It uses bluetooth and has an on/off switch. It takes a while to get it working… my bluetooth wasn’t turned on at first on my laptop. Oh well, It’s working now.

As you may (or may not) remember, I had a crappy video card in my awesome new system. That is now going to be changing. Tuesday, I ordered my new video card. The bad part is that it won’t be in until Monday. The new video card is a XFX 6800 XT. It had 2 DVI outputs on it, so I can actually hook up to my 2 17″ LCD monitors with DVI instead of VGA.

I’ve moved all of my old computer parts out of my office. There is quite a bit of room in here now. And you can walk through it. I moved a lot of stuff into the attic.

No longer unbeaten

Well, as I said above, Illinois got beat in basketball today. Iowa played very well. There were some bad calls, but not enough to make that big of a difference. With the strength of the Big Ten this year, I didn’t think anyone would manage to go undefeated anyways. I just hope we don’t lose any home games this year. And hey, 15-1 is not bad at all.

The Illini just beat MSU. There record is now 15-0. Hopefully this will stop those doubters saying that we haven’t beat anybody good.
