free beer
Last night was pretty fun. Free beer at the rugby social, chatted with a lot of people, and Woofy Straight Mike will be returning to play with us! I took a lot of pics with my digital cam but I can't get the damn thing connected to my PC just yet. Frickin' USB/driver whatever issues that plague me.
Then we went over to the Lantern for more free beer, under the conditions that we take our shirts off. On the way over, Fitz, Corey and I were discussing this feeling of impending doom:
Jimbo: "Hmm...I dunno, I just feel like something bad is going to happen soon."
Fitz: "Yeah, the worst part is that I'm afraid I'm going to hear it happen from Alexandria."
With this general feeling within the citizens of the DC Metro area, you ask why I'm pro-war? When you live in a target city, you want to make sure any insane third world leaders are properly squooshed under the boot of the Capitalist Pig.
Anyway, it seemed to be Web Geek night at the Lantern. In addition to me, Fitz and Corey, there was Jay, Paul, and Chad. I ended up in the catty corner with Glenn and Brian. Brian was visibly in a burrlather that I was the one holding court, instead of him. I made several successful Gather Information checks for Gurl, as I get a +10 bonus due to knowing all the bartenders from working there earlier this summer. When geeks get together we tend to pretend it's Ye Olde Tavern and we're finding out who the half-orc assassins are in the place. Some things I found out:
- The hot guy Fitz was talking to was Al, and he's in a band
- Mark, my #2 big, dumb, hairy obsession in DC, works at the Hecht's perfume counter! AAAAUGH! Sometimes a successful Gather Information check is a bad thing. Must forget that he works in the perfume department...
- Fitz and Corey were Hiding from me below eye level on a couch. My Spot check failed as my vision was focused at [hairy] chest level, and my gaze passed well over their heads.

USB camera problems?
Three words: "Get A Mac".

Shaddap, I know. Before I "Get a Mac" I need to "Get a Job".

Seeing as how I work in the refurbishment side of said product, it is entirely possible that you either have driver conflicts, a bad USB port on your PC, or a bad USB port on the camera itself.
Be sure to test the USB port first before sending it back, of course.

"Burrlather"? Not even Google can find the definition of that one.
