Here's a pendant I made my wife for XMas, it turned out fairly well for some ham-handed admin who doesn't know what he's doing.

What kind of idiot runs an Alpha version of ANY OS distribution? You're looking at him. Yesterday I decided I'd had enough of being paranoid about my music collection not being backed up, and bought a 120GB drive at Staples ($59). The intent was to move my desktop system over to that and I'd have one copy there and one copy on my fileserver.

I was going to download OpenSuSE 10.0 but for some reason didn't, and decided to use 10.1 Alpha. That was dumb.

I backed up my config from the old disk and moved it over to the fileserver, everything except my X11 config, which is a fairly large mistake in itself, and proceeded with the install.

* Network card - Works/Doesn't work, depending on its whim.

Again, to try and catch up from slacking...

The other day I decided to take my iMac-DV with dead harddrive and fix it, and put 10.3.9 on it. It's been sitting around taking up too much space and not doing anything for too long. So I pulled the old dead disk out and put an old, not-dead disk in, and put 10.3 in. 10.3 complained about needing a firmware update before it could install.

Food from Carls in Waltham today. I'm still trying to figure out why Carl hates me, and why we keep going back every few months. Hopefully this post will remind me that I really never need to eat from there again.
Very very good food, way too much of it, very bad consequences for your health and the health of those around you.
I only had a veggie burrito, I shouldn't be in this kind of pain.
