After a week in a black mood, I'm doing better today.

good things;

• The new server is up and running, and has enough of the config done that I'm pulling my mail down onto it, instead of using webmail. This pleases me. I'm also happy to have 250 GB of storage now, so I can rip those new CDs I have from the past 6 months and actually listen to ( Read more... )

My computer is fixed! The new CPU is in, it works, and it 's not even overheating!

Now, time to head to games day.

My ISP, Rogers, is dropping USENET. This makes me sad. I spent a lot of time on usenet over the years, particularly on alt.gothic. It was my LJ before there was LJ. I haven't been reading as much in the past year or so, mostly because LJ is an addictive time suck, but I've stopped in every now and then ( Read more... )

It appears that there is no easy way to get Yahoo calendar to sync with the ipod. I am pondering how difficult it would be to write a filter to trap something yahoo's intellisync speaks, and convert it to the iCalendar format. It should be noted that I may, in fact, be insane.

I have updated the LJ again. I fixed up some stuff in the archives, and the page now renders in IE in a way that is usable, if not pretty. I am ok with this for the time being - does anyone out there still use IE to read my journal? If I have real, live IE users, I might put more effort into making it not suck in IE.

hopefully this is a little more friendly to people with lower resolutions.

Haven't had time to test in IE yet, so it may not work there.

Feedback?

hatemail?

(also: this is my geeky icon)

New version of firefox out, with several security patches

I am craving more music in my collection. I have enough music now that I'm looking at "shaping" my collection so that the proportions are the way I want them. It's hard to maintain playlists when I have 3351 tracks. So I typically just leave it on random and skip things I don't feel like listening to. The problem occurs when I get an influx of ( Read more... )

I finally sat down last night and took another swing at getting linux back on my workstation at home. This time, I went with Fedora (redhat's non-commercial branch). Fedora's got bleeding edge everything; kernel 2.6, x.org instead of xFree86, etc ( Read more... )
