Is it geekier that:

1. We bought Kai his own (second-hand) laptop and wireless NIC, or
2. I helped Kai install it as dual-boot WinXP and Kubuntu?

Oh yes, he installed it himself (with coaching from myself) as well. :-P I figured it'd be good for him to have exposure to both, and not be tied down to just one. Oh, and I'm a big geek as well. :-P ( Read more... )

I've finally decided I want to get rid of my car (1990 Nissan 300ZX non-turbo) and get a brand new one. My requirements are that it have five seats, be a non-turbo (I don't feel like paying the extra insurance for it), and be fun to drive. So far, the only car I've found that meets these requirements is the Mazda 3 SP23. Without the non-turbo ( Read more... )

Once again, everyone couldn't get things organized until the last minute. Hence, I find today confirmation that I'm flying up to Mackay tomorrow, and put in the travel request for an early flight out tomorrow and a late flight home. However, seems Mackay is a busy place these days, and all flight after noon tomorrow on all airlines are booked ( Read more... )
