Fact:

George W. Bush on June 14, 2006:

I feel confident we will hold the House and the Senate.

George W. Bush on February 25, 2008:

I'm confident we'll hold the White House in 2008.

You have to like those odds.

Well, That's "Handy" to Know

Spoke with Doc's nurse this morning.

According to his chart notes, he prescribed the glyburide as 5 mg, 1-2 bid (twice daily) (or 120 tablets/month).

Whichever pharmicist entered the Rx into their computer system entered 5mg, 1 tablet bid (or 60 tables/month).

I'll be very pleased if they ever pass a computer printed prescription requirement.

End result, she was to call the pharmacy and fix the Rx. We'll retest in June after being on the correct dosage for >90 days.

I Hate BullSh*t eBay Ads

Ran across a very interesting used Thinkpad 1300 ad on eBay. Its features were so astonishing I had to ask the seller about it:

Dear laptopenterprise,

VERY interesting specs for a 1300. Exactly which model is this (1171-xxx)?

Two PCMCIA slots? I've only seen them with one Type III slot - it's double height, but there's only one set of contacts. Hence, it's a single slot.

256MB RAM? With the base 64MB, I'd expect to see 320MB (64 + 256) or 192MB (64 + 128), never seen a 192MB SODIMM.

10/100 Ethernet AND 802.11g? I've only ever seen one or the other - there's only the one mini-PCI slot under the keyboard. I've never even seen a combo 10/100 + 802.11g mini-PCI card - who makes it?
