Well, I installed it this morning, and I’ve had 10 minutes to play with it. Now my kids are eating and I’m watching Dragon Tales with them. 🙂 In those 10 minutes I learned: They fixed the bug in 8 that made my onboard soundcard not work. The upgrade path works VERY well. The upgrade […]

Does anyone besides me think it’s odd that American Oil Company (AMOCO) gas stations are slowly being replaced by British Petrolium (BP) stations?

I stopped by today and there were NO posts on the homepage. Then I rememebred that it’s only showing posts for current month. I should change that. I made a basic page for the CULUG last night while I wasn’t sleeping. Here’s hoping it takes off. I’m downloading RedHat 9 cd’s from a s00p3r SeKrIt […]

This morning I watched the briefing from Qatar, and the man giving the briefing mentioned that the Iraqis have no regard for the laws of war, which he described as rules which govern violent conflict.

Once upon a time, I used to do some… “exploring” shall we say, on my favorite college campus. There were tunnels, and attics and stuff. Many colleges have them. As a result, certain gadgets have always held a certain amount of interest for me. I recently found 2 on ThinkGeek. I must never be allowed […]

I don’t have more than a few sentances to say about any one thing tonight, but I have quite a few things to attach sentences to. I found out today that my friend Jonathan is in a band. And it’s one of my favorite types of music. I didn’t even know he was a musician, […]

In which I admire a realistic looking estimation of a trip to Mars

I bought 2 cds today. One is John’s Non-Linear Groove cd. It’s quite cool. Even my wife likes it, and she generally prefers country. I also noticed that the Non-Linear Groove website uses PEG for pictures. Thanks! 🙂 The other is a compilation of all the Silly Songs With Larry, from the Veggie-Tales. I’ve been […]
