Apple fixed iTunes 7

Aplle released iTunes 7.0.1 which fixes the choppy playback problems I was having. I am now enjoying the new features.

Not much else to report ... I think I'll go see Rancid again in SLC on Oct 5th and 6th.

Grandma Kirtley

My grandmother passed away this evening at 9:35 pm MDST. She was very peaceful and comfortable. She was 83 years old.

I remember one time when I was younger she was visiting, and was watching the kids while my parents were gone. We took all the pillows from the couch and around the house and piled them at the bottom of the staircase. We then got out our sleds. We told grandma that mom let us do this - and sled down the stairs ... fortunately no one got injured.

I love you Grandma!

Another Loss ... And iTunes 7

Well Wyoming lost another close game. Our defense is Awesome, but our offensive is offensive, and couldn't put up many points. Air Force is next week.

I downloaded and installed the new itunes 7, and have had mixed results. At work it runs great, and I love the new interface and album art options etc. At home it cannot play back an mp3 without being choppy. I believe it is a video issue, I updated some drivers and that has helped some. Some things I read suggested it may deal with the new quicktime and directx 3d acceleration. I uninstalled iTunes 7 at home and went back to 6.0.5 until they can work that bug out.

At work I have a GeForce 6800
At home An ATI Raedon 8500

Maybe it is an issue with ATI cards...

Tough loss for Cowboys

Man Missing a PAT in overtime is a tough way to lose - especially after dominating the whole game. Once again it was turnovers that caused problems. The fumble at the goal line in particular (although some say it was a TD first).

There is always next week.

Golf Report

Well we had a good time. The weather was absolutely perfect. We did all 18 holes at Jacoby. As far as scores ... Well I did get par on hole #1. I shot a 124 on a par 72 ... lol But I still like it.

In other news my couch will be here on Friday.

Labor Day Golf

I was able to get a Tee time for tomorrow at 8:30 am. My brother and I plan on golfing all morning, it should be fun. Unfortunately My golf clubs are locked in a friends garage, and he is out of town until tuesday, so I guess I'll just rent a set from the pro shop - Not that the clubs would make a difference to me.

Hopefully my gameplan and concentration will work for me tomorrow...

Cowboys win 38-7

A nice win today. Our defense stut down USU, and our offense had a great balanced attack.
