It’s been a busy few days. My Fraternity held Initiation last night. It went well, and now my little bro is a full Active. Woohoo!

Sorry, no witty rants today. However, I would like to share a solution to a computer problem I had: If you own a Philips CDRW800 drive – model PCRW804 – and have noticed that CD’s burn slowly when using 80 minute blanks, I found a solution: Update the firmware! Of course, this turned out to be easier said than done. One would think that the Philips website would have the update. Sadly, that is not the case. I searched high and low for the firmware update, but met not but failure. That is, untill I happened upon some random French site. There I found it, and here I mirror it for the rest of the world to use.
