The Ramblings of Ken

This is a picture that I hope you never have to see on your computer. Real Player is just bad. I won't expound on it now, maybe in another post in the future someday I will. I just can't figure out how to get Windows to recognize the RTSP protocol without installing Real Player. If someone out there knows a way I would be glad to hear it.

Anyway, for now I install Real Player, uninstall it, and then associate the RTSP protocol with QuickTime. I wish I could find a better way.

For all of you who have not had strep throat... I want to congratulate you! Strep throat is HELL! If you don't know about it, here is what [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strep]Wikipedia[/url] has to say about it:

[blockquote]Symptoms

The signs and symptoms of strep throat are red, sore throat with white or yellow patches on tonsils, swollen lymph nodes in the neck, fever over 101 Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius), headache, extreme shaking/shivering, and cold sweats. Many patients also have difficulty swallowing and talking. Nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain are more common in children. Cough is infrequent in older patients, but younger children may experience cold-like symptoms including stuffy noses and sneezing similar to many viral infections. The onset of a rash may be a sign of scarlet fever.[/blockquote]

I had all of that! A horrible pain in my throat, fever of 102, headache, shaking/shivering, and VERY cold sweats at night! I also had the nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and cough! Ugghhh! I hope that I never have to go through this again! It lasted for freaking two weeks! Luckily, taking good old penicillin cured my problem and I am up and going again...

I hope that none of you have to go through this crap!
