Well, the trip to Oklahoma was probably one of the best we've had in years! The flights were good, the food actually was edible and we had a wonderful time while we were there. Now if I could only shake off this jetlag and get myself motivated to actually get stuff done, that would be great.

Also, my mom got me a new Wacom Bamboo tablet. Now, there is a known issue that if you use it on a computer with Windows Vista Home Basic, it might not recognize the pen pressure. Well, this is what happened to me, but managed to fix it. I downloaded the newest driver from Wacom's site and installed it WITHOUT! plugging the tablet in first (as per their instructions). If you plug it in before installing the driver, Windows will install their own driver and I believe it causes some conflict. Also, when you do install on Vista, be sure to right click on the file and choose "Run as Administrator". I believe this combo of things is what helped me.

Anyhow, onto the meme.
