Mad shout-outs to my cousin Cole, who graduated from high school today! He was one of two student speakers at the ceremony, which is very cool indeed. This summer he’s in a community production of Titanic (the musical, not the Leo-and-Kate version), and working at the library. Then in the fall, he’s […]

Because I’m particularly masochistic, I decided to start with a “stage 1″ Gentoo installation, which means that pretty much everything gets built from scratch. After much struggling (my stupid CD drives don’t let me boot from them, so I had to work around that in order to load stuff off of the Gentoo CD, […]

Well, wish me luck! I am going to blow away my Red Hat 7.3 box and attempt to install Gentoo Linux in its place. I have grown increasingly weary of fighting with RPM interdependencies, and things acting weird, or being laid out in weird ways.

I finished reading the second in the Artemis Fowl series the other night. The third book is on it’s way to me now. Any suggestions for other summer reading books?

Mood: relaxed

I thought I would declare a minor victory today in that I finally picked up a four-disc jewel case from the local record store, thus empowering me to burn masters of the mix CD that I’ve been tinkering with since last summer. But instead, when I got home and fired up my recording software, […]

To answer my question I posed on Friday, Can marriage survive a new bedroom color? the answer is yes, if you decide to walk away and not paint the bedroom.
We have 3 different test colors on the wall, we don’t like any of them. Back to the drawing board. We are […]
