    OK, now that's weird

    Heard a loud pop out back, and when I went out I saw the glass of our patio table had shattered in thousands of pieces. Making it even more weird was a long narrow blade screwdriver I had left on the table which I use for weeding the flower pots on the composite deck was stuck in the deck...

    Fallout NV intolerable glitches

    I love the game, but it sure is a beast to get running correctly on Win 7 64! I'm stubborn enough, so I refused to let the crappy game engine prevent me from playing the game. I have 41 active mods which might have caused some of the problems, but IMO without some of those mods the game would be...

    Computer just stopped

    It was almost as if someone pulled the plug. No restart, reset, no fans, nothing except a couple of lights on the mobo. Opened up the case, and I have to admit, it's pretty darned dirty. Wouldn't there be some kind of warning if the CPU overheated? Can dirt short a circuit? I'm going to clean it...
