On this day:
- Woke up at hotel with bouncy kids; took them all to school/daycare, then went back to the house (power back on) and cleaned up. I still had the dead hard drive to deal with, which slowed down the vbz ordering process to the point that I was sending out multiple apologetic emails to customers on 2002/12/22 and 2002/12/23 and shipping many things via Express (overnight). See also /vbz.
ICQ
- what: log of ICQ conversation between Bubba and Woozle
- Conversation resumes the next day.
Bubba 12/10/02 12:56 PM We just got another order from Maria Kamar

Bubba 12/10/02 4:00 PM I downloaded directX 8.1 to help the DVD play
movies and need to know if it's OK to install
it. It has some heavy stuff in the user
agreement like EULA stuff that could mean
other than what I read it to mean. Also after
install it becomes part of the operating sys
and there is no way to uninstall it w/o
reinstalling 98
woozle 12/10/02 4:10 PM directx 8.1 should be fine
Bubba 12/10/02 4:10 PM kewl

the count?
Bubba 12/10/02 4:12 PM y and not all have received answers yet
woozle 12/10/02 4:12 PM as long as you've been getting the majority
informed, that takes the worst bite out of
it...
Bubba 12/10/02 4:12 PM rt
woozle 12/10/02 4:13 PM If you send any more emails, you can put in a
link to the status page I put up -- "For more

woozle 12/10/02 4:44 PM (it's been so long since the kids have seen
the FBI Warning on a video, they're in the
living room throwing kisses at it...)
woozle 12/10/02 4:45 PM WinTemp -- when you say ICQ files, what about
them makes them ICQ?
Bubba 12/10/02 4:45 PM it must be a really pretty warning
Bubba 12/10/02 4:45 PM that's what they are labeled as
Bubba 12/10/02 4:45 PM like the one I just sent you
woozle 12/10/02 4:45 PM white on blue-shifting-to-green
woozle 12/10/02 4:45 PM let me see what they look like on my system...
woozle 12/10/02 4:46 PM ahh... named icqnnnn.tmp... yeah, if those
will let you delete them, it's ok to do so.
Bubba 12/10/02 4:47 PM k
woozle 12/10/02 4:47 PM anything in Temp is only supposed to be there
temporarily, anyhow -- locked while needed,
unlocked when done.
Bubba 12/10/02 4:48 PM k
Bubba 12/10/02 4:52 PM 411megs freed
Bubba 12/10/02 4:52 PM let me know if you see them roaming around
Bubba 12/10/02 4:53 PM hopefully they'll reproduce in the wild and
some will come back home
woozle 12/10/02 4:53 PM The farmers will kick up a fuss, of course...
Bubba 12/10/02 4:54 PM let em
Bubba 12/10/02 4:54 PM the DVD player still says there is a probleb
w/my video subsystem

Bubba 12/10/02 4:55 PM Major Bummer
woozle 12/10/02 4:55 PM Wonder where the driver disc went... Brought a
box full of driver discs up here; will look
for one that might be yours & send you a copy
if I find it.
Bubba 12/10/02 4:56 PM KEWL b-cuz I rented Reign of Fire on DVD as a
tester
woozle 12/10/02 4:56 PM how many days till due?
Bubba 12/10/02 4:57 PM today
Bubba 12/10/02 4:57 PM @ noon
Bubba 12/10/02 4:58 PM I downloaded a DVD thing from MS because it
said I needed it and then it said that I
needed DX and so I got if=t and still nothing
woozle 12/10/02 5:02 PM I'd return the DVD... I doubt I'll be able to
get you the drivers this week... any chance I
already installed them? I _think_ the drive
worked as a DVD-ROM reader without any
drivers, but I could be remembering wrong...
keep an eye out for any discs which say
anything like "DVD Drive(rs)" on them...
woozle 12/10/02 5:02 PM Also, any clue what the make/model is?
Bubba 12/10/02 5:04 PM I don't see anything telling me the make and
model
Bubba 12/10/02 5:04 PM I think it is a Gene Rick DVD player
woozle 12/10/02 5:05 PM might have to take the unit out and look at
the label
Bubba 12/10/02 5:05 PM to look at it
Bubba 12/10/02 5:05 PM rt I'll do that later
woozle 12/10/02 5:05 PM k
woozle 12/10/02 5:05 PM cuz from that info, I can probly find drivers
online.
Bubba 12/10/02 5:05 PM k
woozle 12/10/02 5:05 PM Somewhere I'm sure I have a manual, which
would also tell me...
woozle 12/10/02 5:06 PM hoo nose wear it iz now...
Bubba 12/10/02 5:06 PM if you come across it kewl, if not then say la
gare
woozle 12/10/02 5:06 PM will be sure to say la gare if I don't...
Bubba 12/10/02 5:07 PM kewl
Bubba 12/10/02 5:08 PM interesting...the interactual sys profiler
says the DVD device is not found
woozle 12/10/02 5:09 PM where did you find the interactual sys
profiler? Not sure I've heard of that...
Bubba 12/10/02 5:10 PM do you have IA
woozle 12/10/02 5:10 PM IA? Probably not, but I can't be sure unless I
know what it is...
Bubba 12/10/02 5:10 PM there are two windows next to the error
message box and the top icon is the link into
the profiler
Bubba 12/10/02 5:11 PM InterActual is a DVD player software
woozle 12/10/02 5:11 PM ah. Guess not.
Bubba 12/10/02 5:11 PM is on Keily's laptop also and it played DVD's
fine
woozle 12/10/02 5:12 PM don't see it... where is it on the Start menu?
Bubba 12/10/02 5:12 PM think it was part of the DVD pkg
Bubba 12/10/02 5:12 PM do you have a DVD ROM
woozle 12/10/02 5:12 PM nope
Bubba 12/10/02 5:13 PM interactual.com
Bubba 12/10/02 5:13 PM that is where I fond that I migh need the
other two things I installed
Bubba 12/10/02 5:20 PM why not software - looks at what you have
compares it w/what you need and then reports
as to what is needed to make it work or at
least eliminate lacking software issues
woozle 12/10/02 5:21 PM sounds useful
woozle 12/10/02 5:21 PM wish I had a DVD player on any of our
machines...
woozle 12/10/02 5:21 PM ...but I'm holding out for a burner.
Bubba 12/10/02 5:21 PM rt, seems like S's laptop would have one
Bubba 12/10/02 5:22 PM it's just like Keily's
woozle 12/10/02 5:22 PM naah... it's several years old.
Bubba 12/10/02 5:22 PM so is K's
woozle 12/10/02 5:22 PM she was shopping for price, not features.
Bubba 12/10/02 5:22 PM rt
woozle 12/10/02 5:22 PM Perhaps one is available for it, tho, if
Keily's really is the same.
Bubba 12/10/02 5:22 PM K's was a gift so the buyer probably wanted
features
woozle 12/10/02 5:23 PM ah.
woozle 12/10/02 5:23 PM is K's CPU a P2?
Bubba 12/10/02 5:23 PM or 3
woozle 12/10/02 5:23 PM S's is P2
Bubba 12/10/02 5:23 PM I can ask
woozle 12/10/02 5:23 PM what the heck
woozle 12/10/02 5:24 PM It's not clear what the model # is...
woozle 12/10/02 5:24 PM it says "Type 2626" on the bottom; that may be
the closest thing to a model #
Bubba 12/10/02 5:29 PM K's machine is at Sven's work because it has
some bad clusters and he's doing the defrag
kinda stuff
woozle 12/10/02 5:29 PM whenever
Bubba 12/10/02 5:29 PM rt
woozle 12/10/02 5:29 PM he should run SpinRite
Bubba 12/10/02 5:29 PM will suggestify it
woozle 12/10/02 5:29 PM grc.com
Bubba 12/10/02 5:30 PM kewl
Bubba 12/10/02 5:31 PM they still have no phone or cable for internet
Bubba 12/10/02 5:31 PM at the moment, which is odd because they live
in Decatur
woozle 12/10/02 5:31 PM hmmm
Bubba 12/10/02 5:31 PM it's taking like 2 weeks to get an appointment
woozle 12/10/02 5:31 PM never had it, or it went out?
Bubba 12/10/02 5:32 PM moved to a new house and have yet to get it
woozle 12/10/02 5:32 PM ah.
Bubba 12/10/02 5:32 PM is scheduled
woozle 12/10/02 5:32 PM thassa start.
Bubba 12/10/02 5:32 PM so many people in ATL though
woozle 12/10/02 5:33 PM things sometimes take longer in big cities.
Bubba 12/10/02 5:33 PM seems backwards
Bubba 12/10/02 5:33 PM but is the case here
woozle 12/10/02 5:33 PM individual businesses serve more people...
they make more $, but they're closer to being
over-capacity so it takes longer.
Bubba 12/10/02 5:34 PM ah
Bubba 12/10/02 5:35 PM think I need to reboot Waldorf
woozle 12/10/02 5:35 PM k
Bubba 12/10/02 5:36 PM brb
woozle 12/10/02 5:36 PM if icq seems slow, could be cuz I'm
downloading
woozle 12/10/02 5:36 PM but that shouldn't affect yr other net
activities
Bubba 12/10/02 5:36 PM not that, just can't get mail or access any
sites
woozle 12/10/02 5:37 PM ah. boot away.
Bubba 12/10/02 5:37 PM k
Bubba 12/10/02 5:56 PM am I bk?
woozle 12/10/02 5:57 PM seemingly
Bubba 12/10/02 5:57 PM kewl
Bubba 12/10/02 5:58 PM off to try the web
woozle 12/10/02 5:58 PM surf safely
Bubba 12/10/02 5:59 PM will try to not let the board hit me in the
head
woozle 12/10/02 5:59 PM avoid www.crateintheroad.com
Bubba 12/10/02 6:01 PM real site?
woozle 12/10/02 6:01 PM no ideer
Bubba 12/10/02 6:01 PM will look
Bubba 12/10/02 6:17 PM no craterintheroad.com on clicking the link
and didn't check whois
woozle 12/10/02 6:17 PM the net can probly live without it
Bubba 12/10/02 6:18 PM it'd probably fill up really fast
Bubba 12/10/02 6:18 PM enny weigh
woozle 12/10/02 6:19 PM set up the site and have a pop-up for medical
insurance when they try to leave...
Bubba 12/10/02 6:19 PM ohhh goood one
Bubba 12/10/02 6:20 PM 27 pop ups
Bubba 12/10/02 6:20 PM Welcome, you may never leave.
Bubba 12/10/02 6:20 PM until you buy a policy
woozle 12/10/02 6:20 PM special discount for recent burn victims
Bubba 12/10/02 6:20 PM how recent?
woozle 12/10/02 6:21 PM hmm...
Bubba 12/10/02 6:21 PM it's been 3 1/2 years for me and I still feel
it in a big way
woozle 12/10/02 6:21 PM if they're still paying the bills for the burn
treatment, then we might as well give them a
discount, cuz they aint gonna be able to
afford the insurance anyway...
Bubba 12/10/02 6:22 PM true
woozle 12/10/02 6:22 PM just being practical...
woozle 12/10/02 6:22 PM ;-)
Bubba 12/10/02 6:22 PM rt o

putting his stuff (better than Flores and more
merch) in the store

little more attractive to buyers so the email

Bubba 12/10/02 9:22 PM does this mean no?
