What’s this gonna do for my computer?

We were at Best Buy & picked up something that might give my computer a little more juice.

It’s a RAM stick [doo-dad] that should make my computer better. It doesn’t look like I can get a brand new computer any time soon. This will have to do. Anything is better than freezing up or a “blue screen” everyday, right? ;)

My man’s going to put it in tomorrow. I’ll update how it all went.

New Banner

The long-awaited RT banner is now here. Check it out! It looks great ;)

cold, cold, cold.

Holy crap-shit! It’s cold out there. Don’t go out unless you have to. If you have to, bundle up. Gloves, hat, scarf, an extra pair of socks. It’s 7º but the wind chill makes it below zero. If you have to go out: Don’t stay out very long.

Be safe. Stay warm.

Fed-Up in Buffalo has the blues

It’s all over the net so I don’t have to link to anyone talking about Labatt USA having their HQ in Buffalo. Who remembers the t-shirts they used to sell at the mall that said:

 

We have had a sucky football team forever & [now] we’ll have the beer to back it up :( There has to be more to Buffalo than praising a beer company relocating here & offering only 20 new jobs.

The corporate move, from InBev USA’s current offices in Connecticut, will bring about 20 sales and marketing jobs to an office in downtown’s Key Tower sometime this spring.  

Someone get me a Molson! ;)

It’s only numbers making up dollars & sense

I was looking through the NYS cash report ending Dec. 2006 pdf [page 28] & found some interesting numbers to post just for the record:
