[12:01 AM EDT - News Bytes: PCIe.]

I was doing a bit of surfing and came across an interesting PCIe primer on ArsTechnica. Mainly, I found out that PCI-X is not PCI Express.

Well, I've gotten a fair bit done on this entry form, although I still have to work on the backend. Hopefully that will be easy to do, because this front end was a pain. (So many exceptions to consider and I still think I missed a number of ways to really mess it up.)

Oh well, I should go to sleep soon.

[9:45 AM EDT - What are those noises?]

Geez, it sounds as if someone's playing games at the office. I went hunting for the culprit and noticed that GL brought his kid to work. I guess you have the entertain children somehow right?

[Saturday, July 3, 2004: Series winning injury.]

There was some sort of repaving being done in the parking lot at the arena we were playing at and most of the traffic got shunted to a very small part of the parking lot. Unfortunately, that part of the lot was packed, and we had to continue around to the side of the building to find spots. I decided to continue on to the back of the building, hoping to find another way in and found that a bunch of people had parked in the middle of the cul-du-sac in front of the rear entrance (as well as on the steps of the rear entrance, but I digress). I decided to follow the crowd and parked in the middle of the street.

I played better than I usually do. I felt confident with my play and got some good rushes going, until halfway through the game when I fell and landed akwardly on my arm. I'm not sure if it was because of the way I was holding my hockey stick, but my arm got extended at an angle that it wasn't designed to bend, and I felt one of my pectoral muscles/ligaments stretch as my limb reached maximum extension. It hurt, but it wasn't the rolling around "I think I'm going to die" type of pain. But it hurt, and I couldn't move for some time.

Fortunately, I didn't pop anything, and I don't think I broke anything. It was just a little subluxation and some rest and ice (and compression and elevation) was all I really needed. I didn't really give myself either. I got back on the ice near the end of the game for one more shift, but it was all good.

We won the game pretty convincingly without my help, so I didn't feel so bad. We went out for snacks afterward and then I went home.
