A Few Glitches

We're still getting used to our new computer set-up. Let's just say that not everything is running smoothly...some things are fine, but other things are very frustrating. Dick is having mega-trouble trying to hook up his Palm to the hot sync. That's crucial for geo-caching. The air in the computer room was very blue all morning.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to adjust to the new HP digital camera and software. It's not quite as nice as the Kodak EasyShare. For instance I haven't figured out how to brighten the pictures. Plus - instead of using ofoto.com, the HP system uses Walmart (oh dear). I'm seriously considering just reloading the EasyShare software and doing it the old way. It would involve moving pictures all the time, but it would most likely be worth it.

Computer glitches are so frustrating - we decided to take a break and go geo-caching in the afternoon. Drove over to the Manistee Bridge area and Dick found 3 caches - it was fun and relaxing.

Michigan's basketball team did it again tonight, beating Penn State. They are playing so well, it's almost unbelievable. (Dion Harris, Dion Harris) The Michigan basketball program has been so bad for so long....I'm still kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop. This from mgoblue.com:


Another big game by Dion Harris and clutch shooting from Daniel Horton helped make the No. 21 Michigan men's basketball team's debut as a ranked team a success Wednesday, Feb. 1, with a 71-65 win over Penn State in State College, Pa. Harris connected on a career-high seven three-point field goals en route to a game-high 23 points, while Horton hit a triple with 58 seconds left to put U-M up six and made two clinching free throws with 0:13 to play. Horton added 12 assists to his 13 points, and Ron Coleman chipped in with 10 points.
