Had a blast yesterday getting together with my pals, it was so much fun I'll have to confess: we were playing Rock Band. We didn't get far enough into it to go start playing Heroin Hero, but there's always next time.

Heroic Links!	Thanks Ant and Mike Martinez.
Play:	Nodes 2. Thanks Digg.
Links of the Day:	8 Celebrities You Didn't Know Were Geeks. Thanks Digg.
Stories:	Snacking on a wing and a prayer. Though Red Savina is no longer the world's hottest pepper. Women stuck 2 days in elevator. Eating aspirin? Elevator in a two-story building? Police: Man took $20 in kid's piggy bank. Thanks Rigs.
Science:	Low-energy bulbs 'worsen rashes'. Low-energy bulb disposal warning.
Auction:	WoW Companion Cube Fetches $365 On Ebay (Plus Shipping!).
Media:	Dolphin takes out cameraman from 100 feet.

All I have to say is - holy crap is the ECS (EliteGroup Computing Systems) site slow...

Trying to download latest Realtek drivers for the mobo - the ones on the mobo CD didn't install properly. This might take a little while longer than I expected.

I was hoping to hop into guild wars or HL2 (if the onboard video works well enough) about half an hour ago. Oh yes, I'm beginning to wonder if my ATI card had been nuked during the PSU-fry way back when, as I installed it on this new mobo, with no graphics either onboard or on the card's VGA port...

EDIT: Realtek onboard networking seems to work on the physical level, but the driver will not install properly in XP - the drivers from Realtek's website seem to go through and install fine (even give the option to repair/remove), but nothing new appears in the Network Connections window. I just have my Local Area Connection 2 up there for VPN... bah.

Funny, though - with all these hardware changes, XP didn't ask me to reauthenticate...
