Horray! My ScanGauge II came today from Amazon. I connected up the cable, set the ScanGauge on the dash, turned on the ignition. This all took less than a minute. Then I entered the engine-size: 3.3 liter, Fuel-Tank-Size: 20 gallons, and set the type fuel to “Gas”. Then before hitting the road, I use my ball-point pen with the point retracted to push the cable behind the weather-stripping along the door jam. Then I headed to the gas station where I filled the tank just until the gas pump clicked off. Then I went to Home > More > Fillup and entered the fuel cost/gal: $2.38 (2.379). When I got home I gathered up the extra cable and zip-tied it together under the dash to complete the installation.

I recently put together a new PC. Before building a new PC, I try to make my component list as close to state-of-the-art as I can afford. Then hopefully it will still be current technology two years into the future.
The components I chose:
- AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2GHz Socket AM3 processor
- Asus M4A79T Deluxe Motherboard
- CoolerMaster 690 Case
- Patriot 8 GB DDR3 1333 MHz DRAM
- EVGA nVidia GeForce 9800 GTX+ Graphics Card
- Fedora 11 x86_64 O/S

Just got this blog up and running a few weeks ago after moving to a new hosting site only to have hackers break in before I got the blog backed up. So here I am starting over again.
