agh! i'm blind!

... actually, that's my computer screaming out for mercy as its monitor died late this afternoon. it's not so bad - we're using the computer as a media center-ish sort of appliance now by hooking it up to a TV and the receiver we use for DVD playback. too bad we haven't gotten surround sound to work via SPDIF from the SB Live!

anyway, i guess that puts me out of the scene for a bit...
