|  #1 Posted on 21.1.04 1939.27 | Instant Rating: 8.65 |  Well, I was going to post this much earlier but then I was seized with a compulsion to defragment my hard drive and that took FIVE HOURS. I had hoped that it would stop making Compaq display "DRIVE FAILURE IS IMMINENT!" errors every time I rebooted (which, admittedly, isn't all that often) - it didn't - I still don't believe them. Luckily, this being a work computer, there really isn't anything on here that I'd get worked up about losing if the hard drive suddenly DID decide to just stop working. I guess we shouldn't have tipped it over while moving it into this office. Ah, hindsight...
Long story short (too late), my officemate Mikhail found a driver (windowsxp-drivers.com - don't bother registering, the user/pass combo for everybody is "driver/all") that allows the stone-age *Connectix* QuickCam VC that no longer works on Kim's old iMac (although there's probably a homemade driver for THAT, too, now that I think about it) to somehow miraculously feed a raw picture into the XP version of ImageStudio...although it appears you can't adjust/correct the colour or brightness, oh well (but maybe there's some other Logitech stuff that's been hacked up that'll - ah, screw it, it can wait until Sunday)
Man why aren't I home yet? OH YEAH I HAD TO POST THIS BYE

(Note: this is not a competition) The only problem was the graphic that was sent to ME weighed in at a whopping *1001K* - GEEZ MAN. So I shrunk it to 38K for our poor dialup users who demand the rich, shiny graphical experience, yet only have the bandwidth budget for small numbered sizes.
Fortunately, I don't have a tie like that, so I don't have to take it out of my rotation. Or should I say..."unfortunately?"

The Flamingos rock though.

Zed, for some reason I expect to hear the national anthem of some small "Somethingslovakia" type country every time I open that image.
As for you Pieman? It takes a special kind of courage to admit owning that...much less wearing it. Kudos.

It'd probably have to be a pretty fruity shirt to go with that pretty fruity tie :)

Great Combo - never could get away with that here in my office - and where can we get that tie ?
Jaguar - you can get yourself another tabasco tie at www.tabasco.com
