30-second update

Hello faithful readers (all 3 of you). It's been a while. I don't feel like writing much, so here's what's new:
  1. With the help of Heidi's dad, I managed to get the Blazer running quite well. We replaced the intake manifold and carburetor. It now stays at idle pretty well (albeit a somewhat rough idle), and no longer spews nasty black exhaust. It's been my daily-driver for the past couple of weeks. It's quite a fuel hog though.
  2. I went to England for work - and unfortunately I worked the whole time. I did drink a couple of warm pints of ale and saw Big Ben, but not much beyond that. I'll post some pics when I'm feeling less lazy.
  3. I bought an Xbox 360 on the weekend (I finally used some gift certificates that have been burning holes in my pockets since Christmas). It's very cool, but I haven't had much time to use it. I spent a couple of nights playing Ghost Recon, which is awesome (I really suck). Aside from its gaming capabilities, it integrates nicely with any PC on your network that contains music and pictures. It is also a Media Center extender, but I haven't tried that feature yet.
That's all for now. Ciao.
