Last things first. Exchanged the video card at lunchtime, popped it in this evening and my troubleshooting skills were rewarded. A whole bunch of configs became available now that the card has a working tuner. It was able to autoscan the cable channels and also autoscan FM stations. All channels are clear and strong. Yippee! But the remote doesn't work. Can't get the control panel to initialize it. Will have to RTFM.

Work was quiet, what with the rest of the US on holiday. CNN had the day off, which gave my engineers some extra breathing room.

Boss is in ATL to give some training, and the Sr. co-worker was in but will be on the plane for STL tomorrow morning. So it will be just the morning guy & me for the rest of the week.

UPS apparently delivered my exercise bike to the apartment complex office, though they were told to hold it for me at will call. It's way too big & heavy to leave in the office. Idiots.
