After a strange and damaging fail on the part of my blog, we will have to have another go ’round.  We are starting from scratch.  I though about putting some effort into recovering the files and articles from my old blog before thrusting Frostmourne into it, but then I am lazy and many of those articles are out of date.  I spent quite a bit of time preparing the Alienware entries and they will be missed.  However, we are moving forward and we will not be looking back.  I am sorry for the loss of all that research I put into the m9700 sound issue.  I will still answer questions about it and provide as much assistance as I can.  That part of my life has gone on long enough.  I have new things to occupy my time and effort with.

Such as:

• Clan Avalanche.  We are making a comeback and I am trying to bring back some of our original members, even if just for small snippits at a time.
• Firefox 4 Beta.  C’mon guys, this browser is the shizzle.  Hit F11 while browsing, you know you want to.
• The Deathstar (v2).  I have a new desktop utilizing the Intel Gulftown 6 (that’s 6) core CPU with hyper-threading.
• The Ebon Hawk.  My new MSI netbook U135 that will be my right hand while Betty is in the shop.
• Black Betty will be in the shop for some case damage suffered from a trip to Walt Disney World.  WDW will be picking up the tab.
• Emergency Management.  I just had my first taste of a large scale (not really) event of a Chlorine attack.  Simulated.  That is a bit of a rush, folks.
• WordPress 3.  You can figure that one out on your own, people.
• Drupal 6.  Check out www.coldware.net.  Now approved for general consumption.

There are some great game releases scheduled in the near future, too.  Starcraft II, Diablo III, and others.  Busy, busy, busy.
