The bottom portion of the gutter downspout on the corner of the house by my window was clogged full of dirt. It was raining this morning, and making a bothersome sound... not as bad as the knock-knock-knock noise it sometimes made, but enough to get me to finally decide to take it apart and clean it out. So now it is clear again and hopefully won't make horrible noises anymore.

I uninstalled Panda [err... Norton! I meant Norton! Panda was before the Norton...] and replaced it with the trial version of ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite. This one seems to be doing good so far.

Got my emails updated everywhere, and got Thunderbird working satisfactorily.

I want to upgrade the RAM in my machine. Currently I have 256 Mb (2x128). I can go up to 1.5 Gb (3x512). I wonder how much I should get? Would 512 (+256) be sufficient, or might it be worth going ahead and getting a gig, or even 1.5 gig?

I Drano-ed my bathtub yesterday. I used an aerosol canister - something I'd never seen before - and it said it was guaranteed. Well, I had a tough clog. Took the tub about 6 hours to drain after I took my shower.

That aerosol canister was like a rocket - it blasted the clog through in three seconds.

I will never use anything but these aerosol drano rockets to clear my drains again.

Plumbing sucks when it doesn't work right.

Drano scares me. Like it's going to jump out of the cannister and spray into my eyes and blind me. But yeah, I guess sometimes it is necessary.
Another thing you can do, if the clog isn't too bad, is get one of those smaller sink-sized plungers that they have now, and fill the sink with some water and use the plunger to loosen the crud that is clogging the pipe.
