Peoria ChronicleI’ll tell you. What ticks me off is when you buy a piece of equipment
for your computer — in the hope it might speed up performance and stave
off the need to buy a whole new computer for a half-year of so — then
struggle to get the @%*@$! installed, and /then/ discover the CD with
the drivers […]

… my new graphics board is working fine now, thank you.
I actually did go to the manufacturers Web site and download the drivers
(thanks for the tip, but I had already done this by the time I saw the
comment ).
On a lark, I used some “found money” to buy a new graphics board. I
didn’t have an […]

? Journal Star: Get to know your local TV personalities
I suppose I’m
tilting at windmills here, but does anyone else object to the word
?personalities? and a synonym to ?television news reporters??
I would have liked to see Steve Tarter write separate articles on one
individual television reporter at a time, focusing on their opinions

Jeff at Peoria Television Stations has
called it quits
.
He’s blaming it on the start of the fall semester.
I’m not taking it off my blogroll, for two reasons:
1. Jeff might very well decide that retirement just didn’t take.
2. Someone else with a love for local television might want to take up
his cause and take over the […]

On the other hand, you just /know/ they are going to find some way to

I’m writing an article for the Community Word
that will focus on ugly and
unsafe abandoned properties. I’ve got a pretty good idea of which ones I

busy and exhausted from work, and what little time I have tomorrow is
going into getting the Community Word

I give them grief so much, I think it’s appropriate to laud the decision
to re-package their recent series on methamphetamines and its effect on
children and families .
When the series original ran on the Web it just included the articles.
NOw, it includes the excellent photographs that ran in the dead-tree
edition.
I just wish that the paper would […]
