I'm watching K19-The Widowmaker tonight. I have a question.
In one scene, the soldiers are given little towels with which to cleanse themselves. The explanation is, they only shower once a week. Now why would that be? For showering, does it really matter if its salt-water? Just bring in some raw from the ocean, and then drain it back out of the ship. Why use precious 'stored' water?
Just a thought.

The internet really is a beautiful thing.
I've been checking every place I can think of, trying to find a copy of hockey for my Game Boy Advance. I really like the little toy but not surprisingly, as it comes from Nintendo, the roster of available games is a bit on the juvenile side. Now I'm as juvenile as any 30 year old you might find, but the standard Nintendo offerings weren't thrilling me, even 2/3 of my life ago.
So I went on eBay. I haven't done a lot of eBay shopping in my life, but the few occasions I've tried it, its worked out great. And for GameBoy game, its a safe attempt. The one I found was $10 US. I can afford to lose that much, if it doesn't go great.
I ordered before the movie I watched at 8:30. It was a 'Buy It Now' item, so I didn't have to wait for an auction close. By the time I came back online, all the confirmations had been sent, and the guy selling sent me a personal email to let me know my game would go out in the mail tomorrow.
Saskatchewan retail = 0, eBay = 1

For those of you that take an interest in such things (Hi Greg) I have finally bothered to put encryption on my wireless access port, here in Saskatoon. I didn't actually do it to be more secure, but I theorized that perhaps my problem is related to there being other network activities in the vicinity of my house that may be upsetting my access port.
For those of you that have your own wireless equipment, when you're at my house, the password I put on is . . .
