I worked on mapper for a little bit again today, as well as my IFComp entry. I also checked in with csa2 and csa2 programming. Both were pretty quiet.
I checked in with a few other message boards I lurk on. You can tell its summer as nobody is spending a lot of time doing postings.

I spent a greater portion of my free time working on my wife’s laptop. The CPU fan that I just installed, never did get the PC up to speed.
It’s a 2ghz machine that has been running at .997ghz even after the fan was installed. I contacted the vendor of the fan and they replaced it.
It came in yesterday and I installed it last night. Still no luck. I remembered a power setting that dropped the speed down to save battery life. I looked it up and there is a BIOS setting that I changed and that fixed that. I had upgraded the hard drive while I was at it. Changed it from a 5400rpm 80gb to a 7200rpm 320gb and reinstalled windows XP and Office.

Things usually go dead in August. It will all pick back up in September, though!
