Not too random nonsense

Yesterday was my birthday, yeah ra and stuff. I had a nice little party with my family, although I would have rather been sailing. Ok, not really, but as the visiting hairdresser pointed out, after 21 birthdays are just another day. I did get some presents though, which is nice. Bunch of clothes, a blanket, some candy, and RAM.
So I have this new stick of RAM, 512 megs of it. Well I go to install it and when I do my computer happily tells me that it will only work with RAM in pairs. IE, this stick is worthless unless I get another. Not sure what I'll do about it yet, but is something to ponder.
On a somewhat different note (still computerish stuff), Totalgaming.net is offering Earth 2150 and it's two expansion packs for only one token. Since I liked Moon Project when I played it before, I figured I'd get them. Playing the first part now (Escape from the Blue Planet), and I still don't like ED. Their units just feel outclassed. But more importantly, the setup supports windowed mode, which is good. Since I no longer have two computers I really like playing things in windowed mode. Oddly enough, both Moon Project and Lost Souls don't have an option in the setup for windowed mode. So I thought about it and then hunted down registry entries, compared them with Escape from the Blue Planet and made some changes. Poof, instant windowed mode. Course, there was probably a good reason the setup didn't include that option...
On a completely different topic, I have to be mean now. My horoscope today said that I should "Stop being nice". It then went on to imply that my niceness will get me killed. I shall now yield before the wisdom of the horoscope and start being as unnice as possible, yep yep yep. Since my horoscope is never wrong, I am the true lord of the dance and don't you forget it
