At my brother’s urging, I watched the entire Viking Kittens thing. Um, okay. Here’s something I don’t understand, but it looks like fun.
Year: 2002
new motherboard
I installed a new motherboard in my machine today, and it actually worked! (Not on the first try, mind you, but eventually.) It’s an ASUS A7V333, with an Athlon XP 2200+ processor, a Vantec fan/heatsink, and a 512 MB memory module from Corsair. It’s working fine so far, except that the processor is running at 53 C, which seems a little hot. Next week, I should be getting a new hard drive and video card.
Linux Adventures
I spent some time today trying to get Red Hat 8 working on my laptop. It works fine, but I couldn’t get it to recognize my wireless card properly. Oh well. Also, I don’t like the way the interface looks on my wimpy 800×600 display. Oh, and there seem to be a number of bugs in various things. I probably could get it all running well, given enough time, but I’m getting lazy in my old age, so I wiped it out. I may try Madrake 9 on the laptop next. I’m curious. It sounds like a lot of people are using Mandrake now. I can’t do any Linux stuff on my desktop right now, since I’m just about out of room on my hard drive. Maybe I’ll get a new one and set something up next weekend.
Adam Ant
Spirited Away
Saw Spirited Away today. Really great movie. Very imaginative. Check here for more information on Hayao Miyazaki.
Superman
In This ‘Superman’ Story, the Executives Do the Fighting
So, will there EVER be another Superman or Batman movie?
Good news, bad news
My car passed inspection today, but I broke the sunroof about 1/2 hour later.
Patrick and Heather
Patrick and Heather have a real Blogger blog up at their wedding page now. Cool. (I sent back my RSVP card a few days ago, by the way.)
Spiraling
I heard a bunch of stuff from Spiraling today on RSU, on the way home from work. Very nice!

Basil
Growing, Selecting And Using Basil
I’ve got a couple of basil plants in my apartment that I’ve somehow avoiding killing for quite some time now. I just harvested a nice little bunch of leaves today.
