Unutterably Silly So what are you doing RIGHT NOW?

[kazbates]

I just finished reading a new article about my nephew (and Godson) and thought I would share it and one other with you all.

Dad helps Saints assistant Adam Zimmer with coaching and loss - Dallasnews.com

Saints rallied around grieving assistant -mysanantonio.com

I'm so proud of him! Go Saints!

Rooting around in my desk drawer for un reimbursed expenses. Rent's due, you know.

Maybe there's a pint of Bearhugger's in there, as well...

I got quite a few hundred pounds of ground up treehugger in my deep freezer if you're ever interested.

Just make sure you don't bill clients twice for the same thing... or you could be indited for mail fraud. (The Firm allusion FTW).

Wow -- a first post, and he already knows how to talk our language! Fits right in, he does.

I get around that by saying I'm not applying the electrodes for research, but just for the fun of it.

Cheers,

I really dislike IRB meetings.

surely one way to duck, out of the IRB meeting, would be to become a patient ?

Welcome To MR (Herzlich willkommen bei MobileRead), Rock Lobster

I like the avatar picture. It brings so many thoughts to mind... Noir, Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, Sam Spade, Humphrey Bogart, The Maltese Falcon, Phillip Marlow...

But for some reason your posts and avatar seem to have clues that cause me to think of other member's posts ..

Plus, Moejoe's love of noir, etc.... Also, the "What Are You Listening to Right Now?" thread with music... Rock Lobster song ...

But, The Deutsch made me pause... Then again, I did post a time or two in that forum...

Well, this is the Llounge , so forgive my meanderings.. and have fun joining in the craziness..

Delving into the mysteries of ndiswrapper in Linux, to install a Windows driver, so a USB 2.0 PCMCIA adapter card will be recognized as actually providing USB 2.0. Ndiswrapper is the easy part, and the driver works fine. The card manufacturer's website was a regal PITA, done entirely in flash, not viewable in Firefox, requiring me to resort to IE 8, and finding the driver was an exercise in following virtual breadcrumbs.

All's well that ends well, and it works, but that vendor is off my list as a source of components. (I was given the machine the card is in. I didn't buy it.)

If you don't mind my asking, what card was that, so I know to avoid it?

I have an old lappy with USB1.1 native and was looking at just such an upgrade in an attempt to squeeze that last bit of usefulness out of it.
