Jan 25 05:38:26 * flyback takes his first zyrtec but doesn't hold his breath that it will help any better than any of the other allergy/asthma meds
Jan 25 05:58:33 * flyback bbl
Jan 25 06:27:50 * flyback is having some anienty spiking again and wonders if it's due to him cutting up a 40mg paxil into 5mg pieces rather than get some 10mg refills and cut them to 5's mabye he got too much
Jan 25 06:28:18 * flyback can't wait till the doc says to cut off the last of the paxil
Jan 25 07:17:28 * flyback ok if a via/cyrix/winchip cpu can run a 3d FPS at a usuable level then my chances of getting married before I turn 40 just shot way up
Jan 25 23:01:36 <flyback> you guys think it's worth spending the $23 to get the radio shack futuredial usb phone cable that is a pl2303 inside (+3.3 and +5 tollerant serial to usb) or I should wait and get it online or something chjeap..   I am thinking the $22 is worth it to have it now to be able to actually work on a project this weekend.
Jan 25 23:04:02 <flyback> I guess with my stupid reasoning, while unrelated to this I had bought a $34 usb to rs232 adaptor for a work client and it didn't work so I might have to or the business eat it, although it can be used for another client later.   I guess I feel like I would end up with 2 worthless cables but I guess that's stupid ocd reasoning
Jan 25 23:05:08 * flyback that and I listen to my mom too much and worry about money even though I never buy anything
Jan 25 23:07:29 * flyback ok then I will just confirm that this model of that cable is still a pl2303 and then go back and buy one, thanks guys
