Time to rename planet Earth!

I had a discussion with a friend today and we are both in agreement that Earth isn’t an appropriate name for the planet we inhabit. All the other planets in our solar system were named after the Roman gods. Mind, we could call it Terra, but I can’t seem to find a Terra anywhere in the Roman pantheon. All the other planets had some sort of awe in their names attributed to the gods they were associated with: Mercury – the messenger of the gods, Venus – the goddess of love, Mars – the god of war, etc.

I believe it would be appropriate to rename Earth to planet Bacchus, in honor to the god of wine and fornication, two things you’ll find plenty of on Earth.

Had another short work day, managed to get everything done though. I was feeling pretty energetic until I made a sandwich, now my left eye burns. Instead of napping I think I’ll stay awake. Might sleep better tonight if I just go until pass out point.

Cold day today, so I’ve just been kicking back, doing some laundry. Took a nice lavender shower followed by some lavender white tea, seems almost theme related. it’s not.

Here comes the sun

With the sun out today I decided to detach myself a bit from the digital universe. I went for a walk and decided to take some pictures in the park.

When we were kids we used to call this the Mr Happy tree. Because if you look at it just right he looks real happy.

And when I came home I saw Bobbi enjoying the sun too.

Ever the problem solver.

Lately I’ve been having crashing issues whenever I film. I tried updating FRAPS the other day but I still crashed. So I’ve made some tweaks to the system to see what happens.

The problem I’m having is that after awhile of filming the game window will lock up for a moment, followed by it maximizing to the point of the monitor going out of range which forces me to have to power it off or press the reset button. I’m thinking it may possibly related to the Logitech panel software. I did a reinstall of it plus I’ve done some tweaking to the video card. I’ve done a couple tests already (windowed still) and so far it seems to be holding up.

As an aside I may have to enable the FRAPS FPS overlay. My computer records video so seamlessly that I forget that I have it running.
