My new work Mac comes tomorrow. Woo-hoo, as Homer would say. A superdrive, 60 gig hard drive and everything a little geek could hope for. Now, if only my YellowDog 2.1 disks will show up…

Goin’ ta redesign – Yes,
Goin’ ta redesign – Yes, yes I am. I want something lighter and a little different. I’ve been playing with the idea of using Fisher Price little people in some way, I just haven’t figured out how. My mom brought out all my old toys for Max, and one of his favorites is my old Little People house and its inhabitants. They include the bald green guy, Donna Reed, a butler in a tux and tophat, two little kids, an Indian chief and a construction worker (both part of that classic Little People collection, the Village People Backstage Baccanal Playset). Stay tuned… it should get interesting.
Wow, yes another cool blogger
Wow, yes another cool blogger has linked to me! I don’t believe it! And it’s Open Brackets, one of my faves to boot!
PhotoDude does an excellent job
PhotoDude does an excellent job of finding quotes about, and commenting on, the state of the world. A great source of small stories, larger ideas and scary concepts.
Damn you, IE5 for the
Damn you, IE5 for the Mac!! Damn you!! I have all this cool stuff I want to do that works in IE 5 for the PC, and Mozilla for everything – and you’re the only one left who doesn’t work, but all those Mac People use you! What’s WRONG with you? Can’t you get updated or something? Is that too much to ask?
Somebody linked to me!! I
Somebody linked to me!! I didn’t think this would be so cool, but it is! I think this brings the grand total to TWO. I’m movin’ up in the world.
That’s a funny concept. In 1997, I had a cool site. I got 30k hits a week on a personal site chock full of backgrounds and stupid stuff. I redesigned it every couple weeks. I was hot stuff. Then, I left PrimeHost and moved out here, and lost the site. Since then, I’ve been working as a corporate whore with no real urge to recreate the joy that was wacky.org. Maybe once I get Dsl… but, maybe not.
Why can’t I write stuff
Why can’t I write stuff like this? I don’t write enough, which is funny, because I write all day long. It’s just code. See, don’t you just love rhetorical questions?
You’d think that if you
You’d think that if you were the “dot” in “dot” com that your site would be fast, usable and informative. Unfortunately, for Sun, it’s not. I’ve always wondered if they get any business at all from their site. It’s slow, evil and poorly layed out. I hate it. The worst part is I have to use it since we’re stuck using Sun hardware and Solaris on most of the projects I work on. Poor me.
I’m an idiot.
I’m an idiot. I thought, hey, OS X is a lot more stable now and my friend has the latest beta. I should try it out! So, I wiped my poor old Powerbook’s hard drive and installed everything. The one thing I forgot is that OS X is a pig. It’s a big giant memory eating sow. I forgot to take into consideration the fact that I have an old G3 with 128 megs of RAM. It’s sad, but that’s just not enough to run the beast that is OS X.
So, it’s Monday morning and I’m reinstalling my favorite config: OS 9 and YellowDog 2.0. I’ll run MOL, play Same Gnome, install AOLserver and Postgres and have some fun. Screw you, OS X. Even Windows 2000 will run on a P2-400 with 128 megs of RAM. So there.
I love smart people who
I love smart people who find great quotes. Caterina has a bunch of them:
- “I will fight to the death for all men’s right to seek the truth, but I will shoot on sight any man who claims he has found it.” – Unknown
- “Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies.” -Friedrich Nietzsche
