In other news, my surgery yesterday was successful. The cyst they removed was about the size of a grape - it was at the base of my spine right on my tailbone. I'm still a little groggy and I slept a lot yesterday. I think I'll be back at work on Friday but I'm still in quite a bit of pain - thank god for vicoden. They didn't close the wound - they packed it with gauze and it has to close from the inside out or else I'd be susceptible to another cyst. I think I have to take it easy for a while but it sucks that I can't sit down.
If I'm up to it I'd like to finish the ab before Saturday - we are having a house full of people for my daughter's birthday - but I don't know if I'll be able to.

Thats good stuff right there. thanks for the laugh Namco! :lol
Glad your surgery went well, just read the entire thread, you have a great project there, good info and good pictures as well....at first I thought you were a CHICK, because everyone was talking about stripping/teasing, etc, etc and with your profile pic.....but then after further reading (and seeing your hairy arms) I realized your a guy, and I've gotta say you did a great job, and excited me and inspired me to want one, Donkey Kong Rules and I love the cabinet style. Glad your dad didn't get stung by the monitor, I don't recommend it to anyone, especially our parents......
Excellent Job and thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the well-wishes guys. I haven't been online much since my surgery. The recovery has been rough. I still can't sit down straight and I see the doctor again tomorrow. I developed another infection which set me back and even though I'm no longer putting gauze in the wound I'm bleeding pretty much all the time (it just won't close up). I thought this was going to be quick but the more I'm learning about it the more it seems like 8-12 weeks is the full recovery time and I just hit 6 weeks today.
The good news is that I've been able to at least enjoy the DK+ and the other night I got my high score in Dig Dug (a game I really really like now after never putting much time into it previously). 3 deaths were avoidable so I think I can do much much better. I have been doing a lot of sitting around (no gym = fat me) and been playing Batman on my 360. I can't wait to get back into building - the DK+ is close but not totally finished! :cheers:

Thanks for the update bud. Keep on top of things otherwise those infections will get worse. Prayers for a full recovery are outgoing.

1. How do I disable the pop-up notification in XP? When I'm looking at the MaLa game list sometimes one of these things pops up and MaLa is no longer the top window and it takes a mouse click to fix it.
2. Does anyone know how to disable the MaLa Menu box in the attached pic? It appears when I hit P2 Start when looking at the MaLa game list. I don't know how I activated this!
3. Finally, removing the grape-sized cyst from ---my bottom--- must have also cleared up my brain. I figured out my high score saving problem - I DIDN'T HAVE A "HI" FOLDER!!! I can't believe it - I must have accidentally deleted it because it was 100% absolutely saving high scores at some point. I added it back and like magic it is working again! I was so excited I fired up some DK and set a personal best of 82,900!

I had 1. as well, really irritated me. If I'm assuming right, you mean those balloon popups in the lower right of screen.
Run regedit
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
Add DWORD "EnableBalloonTips" if it's not there and set it to the 0.
That stopped all my balloon popups.
BTW: Digdug is my fav game, what's your top score?
