My Knee Update
Had an arthrogram and MRI yesterday. Not particularly painful, but had a bout of nausea whenever I stepped down with my left foot.
Results are mixed, haven’t spoken to the doctor yet (he’s in surgery today) but the nurse in the office read off the MRI report. There is some articular cartilage damage, which isn’t fixable. It also said that there was a body of unknown origin.
So, hoping to hear from the doctor this evening or tomorrow, he’ll probably have to look at the MRI films himself first. Hoping for something fixable, even if that means another surgery.

Disabling Dashboard (OSX Tiger)
A lot of people running OSX 10.4 don’t realize that Dashboard, that slick little icon over by the finder is always sitting their sucking down their RAM. Mine has a lot of tools in it that are nice, but that I rarely use. But, I always have terminal open so I wrote a quick script to turn dashboard on and off. (more…)

Cat-5 Macbook
It’s been a bit odd, but because of various reasons my laptop has had to deal with having a network cable plugged in. Unfortunately, it doesn’t quite clip in, the upper part of the case is in the way…
I write this as I have gotten disconnected a number of times tonight as my internet connection is wired tonight.
In other news, my history book made no further comments on the subject so I turned in a paper that did not disagree with it in my paper.

The fun of history
The joy of history of course is that everyone has a different opinion. I have a paper due at midnight tonight, I haven’t finished the reading for it (been busy with other things) and I honestly have no idea what the goal really is.
But, I’m afraid I’m probably going to have to write it as a disagreement with a few claims that it appears the book has made. Not a great way to start off, probably. I’ll reread the chapter tomorrow before I decide that it really is what the book is saying.
In other news, I found this to be an interesting read. http://www.heritage.org/Research/InternationalOrganizations/HL794.cfm
