it's been a few days... sorry's... et. al.
CD's... gawd what a pile... i finally gave in to spousal
pressure and cleaned up my office... a part of that task was
to eliminate some of the more dust-ridden CD's before the
cabinet they were stacked in collapsed under their weight...
now the trash can is immovable... ~sigh... I did find out
that I've got every version of Red Hat going back to 2.x...
woohoo... what a collection... :-)
but... the office is now in the most pristine state it's
been in for quite a while... I even did some "non-vertical"
filing... it won't last...
xfce is fixed... the race has been found and eliminated...
not bad... it only took about 3 days of testing... Olivier
has released 3.8.1 which is nice... turns out that the
problem had been there for a long, long time and the recent
changes which were adding new capabilities to xfce
exascerbated it...
took lucas fishing yesterday... he was bored 'cause he
doesn't yet have the patience to do the work it takes to
fish "my" way... I caught 10 fish in a couple of hours...
was fun for me and he was phreaked at the one "hawg" I
caught... but he wouldn't hold it... "too big", he said...
sometimes doing "non-geek" things is essential to my
sanity... i saw the QA guy from RH down at the lake drowning
worms... nice guy but that style of fishing just isn't my
cup of tea... i spend enough time "inert"... gotta move
don't ya' know...
i'm in the middle of typing my latest diatribe for moongroup.com... it
should be ready to publish ina couple more days... the
latest db
`guin should be out in a couple of days also... this one
will finish the sopranos spoof and then we're off to...
well... read the strip and you'll see...
on the lpi front the new database host should be ready for
work tomorrow... that will be interesting... it also looks
like we're gonna start rolling forward on Level 2 pretty
quick now and in all likelihood we'll be updating Level One
in the near term as well... fun... fun... fun...
