I’ve been trying to memorize the book of Philippians. Been at it for about 18 months now. Yeah I’m slow but whatever you do, if it is important, stick to it. Anyway, I created a Flash scroller of the book that I can switch to and read/reference while I am doing other things like riding the recumbent bike or other mundane activities. Here is the Flash doc. It is absolutely nothing special, except for the fact that it is God’s word.

CD-Rom drive disappears

Found a great solution for fixing a CD-ROM hardware missing in XP at http://sillydog.org/forum/sdt_9200.php. Many thanks to the dude at sillydog.org.

Here is the breif version:

CD-ROM shows in Device Manager with yellow exclamation. Error code 41 or 39.

To fix this problem, I performed the following:

Start Registry Editor (Start, Run and type in regedit then click)

Find “UpperFilters” and “LowerFilters” (and “UpperFilters.bak” “LowerFilters.bak“, if they exist) value under the following key in the registry, and delete it:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

Quit Registry Editor.

Reboot.

NOTE: You might need to reinstall any CD recording apps you have, if they start to not work completely, after doing this.

I’d Like to Thank the Academy…

While there may be many glamorous occasions that Hollywood rolls out the red carpet for, the Academy Awards is the one we all wait in anticipation for every year. Not only to see if our favorite movies gets nominated, but also to see what everybody wears! This year was no exception to the glamour and [...]

Not Your Normal Flip Flop

Summer is a busy time for everyone, whether working or playing, relaxing or keeping up to speed. This is why shoes are so important because most of us are always on our feet doing lots of fun activities these summer months. So why not live in style and branch out from the classic [...]

Summer FINALLY

I don’t know about you but I get inspired when the sun comes out to visit. Thank goodness we’ve been lucky enough to have some nice summer weather this early in the season. There are so many new styles that come out with summer that I think it’s about time to do the [...]

Be Green AND Cool

I sometimes forget that the clothing and accessories I choose to put on are making a statement to others. Everything you wear is an expression of your creativity, values and fashion. When people look at the way you hold yourself and what you pick out to wear what do you want them to [...]

Show Off Those Toes

…or feet, whichever you choose. Sandal season has come upon us (even though the Seattle weather might not always be the best for it.) It is time to dig out the flip flops and sandals, and if you’re like me you need to go out and get a few new pairs to replace [...]
