VMware-2.0.4-1118, host RH 7.1, guest Win 2k Professional. In non-fullscreen mode, the cursor works like a champ, blinks, looks good, etc. In fullscreen, it will show up when I click it to a new location, then blink off, and it never blinks back on. switching back and forth between full-screen and not, it’s definitely only in fullscreen mode. the tools are installed, and I’ve tried all combinations of params, even though the options are (almost?) exclusively for non-fullscreen mode.

Bowling was crazy fun last night. I won the first game by about a dozen over mark, then got second place in the second game by about a dozen to mark. The third game I couldn’t do crap and barely broke 100 (101 :), finishing fourth behind Heather (ouchie!). Fourth and final game I started aiming again (transcendental bowling wasn’t working for me any more :) and picked up a 149. Mark’s last 2 scores were 181 and 191, and he almost didn’t play the last game because his arm was so sore. I’ll be glad to have him gone next week so I have a chance :) hehe

The weirdest part of the evening? Having one of my old friends back from IBM spot me and come over to ask if I wanted to work at the consulting company he’s working at now. Turns about 22 of the chip design group I used to hang out with (and play insane amounts of 3-coin with :) all headed over to the same company, and they had been looking for me earlier this month to offer me a job. Odd :)

Happy Birthday ! :)

today, in summary:

- ordered new UPS
- lunch with and (Empanadas! :)
- finishing new time tracking procedures/tables/views
- upcoming dinner and bowling tonight

TOAD really is nice to work with. Kinda wish the coolio version wasn’t $2k, but it’ll prob. be worth it down the road, methinks.

cute pic, sis-in-law :)

32 years ago, my parents made the fatal flaw of saying “I do”! Now my wrath will be unleashed upon the world! Muhahahahaha!

oh, wait… I keep forgetting i’m a dork.

thank you, drive through

I’ve always noticed that when I yawn, the music I’m listening “seems” to speed up, making me think that my perception of time is modified. No, I don’t know what causes it, but I’m guessing I’m not alone. Or, well, hoping :)

anyone know of an updated ETA for new DBZ on cartoon network?
? :)

nothing feels so restful as a solid 9 hour sleep post-all-nighter.

Now if I can just hire superman to do the time reversal trick while I finish my stored procedures… anyone got his number or web site? :)
