The threat of health care
/Tom & Dori have an interesting writeup about their search for new individual health insurance, the difficulties, the expense, and the long-term threat to our health care system.
Syntax G551 Drivers
/In case a student ever brings you a Syntax brand (No, I never heard of them either) laptop, model G551, that someone has formatted without having access to the drivers, you can get them here. This student had even purchased an external wireless card, having not realized that there was one built in to her laptop, it just didn't have any drivers loaded, much like the sound card, or the video card... Syntax doesn't have an obvious link to those drivers on their site, but when I called them, they helpfully e-mailed me that link.
Microsoft Patch Day
/The new patches for Windows are out. Get 'em while they're hot, as there's a critical one in the set. Visit WindowsUpdate and get Service Pack 2 while you're at it.
Incremental Change
/Just upgraded this site to MovableType version 3.11, I hope this works. :)
