Whoever said "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" was "full of shit, man". Canon Powershot S60 discussion.

It's hard sometimes to see all the movies you want to see when we only have two screens.

The first of hopefully many posts in this new category, and a couple pictures from this morning's dive.

I put Restaurant in quotes because it's more of a fast-food joint. But it's new in Cayman and they just opened.

if you EVER thought you were ANY good at Super Mario Brothers back on the old Nintendo, prepare to eat a lot of crow...

If you are using 802.11 wireless and are pissed off that it doesnt quite reach to your favorite room in the house, read on...

Steve sent me this link in an email with about 277 exclamataion points after it.

Sledge Hammer was a cop in Los Angeles in the 80s who was a narcissist and a complete DUMB-ASS. I don't remember the specifics because it was so long ago, but it was one of the funniest shows at the time. He even used his almost-trademarked “Trust me, I know what I'm doing” while trying to defuse a nuclear bomb in the season (show?) finale. After all these years, they've released Season 1 on DVD (well it'll be out at the end of the month) Every single Amazon review on the above link is 5 out of 5 stars.

In an interview last month in Entertainment Weekly (that you have to be a subscriber to log into their site and read) he said that if there was enough interest, that they were considering doing a Sledge Hammer movie. Why not? It wouldn't be any worse than half the shit that comes out of Holywood these days anyway.

Sledge Hammer's fans are called “Hammerheads” and they have their own website. Not to be confused with the DEMA Hammerheads thing.

The law of moral cause and effect; also a person's moral merit/demerit according to one's actions and (moreso) the inner intentions or motives which accompany them in terms of their conformity/non-conformity with dharma. One's karma is said to entail one's rebirth in order for that karma to be realized or fulfilled, and to determine the circumstances of that subsequent life.

From eWeek: The IICA approach reminds us of the hopes of medieval astronomers that the universe would make sense with just one more layer of Ptolemaic epicycles. Things made much more sense when the center of the solar system was identified as the Sun, not Earth. In the same way, the center of the system of content protection must be the consumer of content, not the content producers and their obsolete business model.

Greece is the Euro 2004 champion? Did I hear that right? I think I heard/read somewhere that Greece had never won an international match before this year... and they take the Euro 2004 cup. Shocking.

Speaking of Shocker, suck it Moniz!

Apparently at the beginning of the tournament, betting houses were offering 80:1 odds on Greece taking the cup.

Last time I tried out Linux, it was 1997 and I installed Redhat Version.. I dunno 4 or something on an old 486 box with two NICs in it to use as a firewall when I first got a cable modem. It booted off a floppy and installed the entire OS via FTP. Bob had to help me with it, and then we had to get another of his friends to finish it off for us. All it really did was be a NAT server with a shell command prompt on it. I didn't really even flip over to it's screen very often.

That's all Changed with Fedora Core 1(Redhat V10 if you will) So far all I've done is install it on my second machine (a PIII/500 desktop) and I've fired up Mozilla on it to look up a couple things, and I have to say I'm pretty darned impressed with it so far. Everything that I do with Windows currently was installed during the install process. web browsing, ftp, news, the GIMP, and OpenOffice. I havent tried anything out with it yet, it's getting too late tonight to mess with it, but I'm looking forward to it and learning as I go. I've introduced a new category to the blog now, Linux, to keep track of these posts. I'm going to see what happens if I try to use USB and Wireless and stuff with it, just for shits & grins. Nothing dramatic like what Richy & Steve pulled off (check the blogroll for their sites) but it'll be fun to tinker with over the next while.

Will I switch and ditch Windows XP Pro? highly doubtful. I didnt spend all this time, and all the money getting Microsoft Certs to abandon it, and we use Windows Servers at work. I'll continue to putter and experiment with Linux on my desktop at home though.

This is just so I have a link to point to from the Buy & Sell Listing at www.trader.ky
