The hypocrisy is astounding
So Clinton is getting flack for the comments he made regarding the commutation of Scooter Libby's sentence. And I can totally see that. Clinton was a cheat and a liar, that's for sure. He also pardoned a lot of folks. Still, I seem to recall the Bush campaign and Republicans in general going on about new standards and accountability and ( Read more... ) -
Happy Birthday USA!
It was a nice midweek holiday. I didn't sleep in though. Which is probably why I napped later on. Oops. Went down to yonder Metreon to see Transformers. ( My thoughts ) -
A Joyous Eostar to Everyone
Last night we had a small dinner gathering that didn't turn out so well. I made a ham, but Safeway's selection left much to be desired. The glaze took forever and didn't turn out too well. Ugh. I tried to make scalloped potatoes, but boiled them too long and they became too mushy, so I wound up making mashed potatoes instead. The pie was OK, ( Read more... ) -
I guess sometimes it pays to not update
Vista is (fingers crossed) running. It seems that it automatically installed an older version of the ATi driver that doesn't yet cause mayhem with my system. So I'm not sure then if it's the actual driver, or the Catalyst control panel thingy. In any case, it's back up and running with World of Warcrack, Civ IV, HL2 (in 64-bit mode) and Far Cry ( Read more... ) -
So much fun, it should be illegal
So let's see On the Muni ride into work on Monday, I was getting eyed - and not in a terribly subtle manner - by a guy on the train. He looks a little like a pint-sized version of salacious_pop. It was a bit flattering and unnerving at the same time.
Anyhoo, I got on the train and came up here to lovely Sacramento. The hotel was lovely as always. The ( Read more... ) -
Oh the geekiness
So I have Ubuntu running on the old box. It took some Googling to get the monitor running correctly, but that has been resolved. Now I have to set up file shares as that doesn't seem to be doing so well. But I am posting this from Linux using LogJam. Yay!. So far it hasn't been as frustrating as I'd feared. I must say the Synaptic package ( Read more... ) -
Time for geeky fun
So today my shiny new Shuttle small form factor PC arrived. Well, the barebone anyway. Tomorrow the CPU and RAM arrive and I'll be installing an existing graphics card. Also included will be my OEM copy of Vista Home Premium and a ReadyBoost compatible flash drive. I got a new keyboard to match my mouse (it was cheap). I'm debating waiting ( Read more... ) -
A little underwhelmed
So today was another Apple, Inc. keynote from Steve Jobs at MacWorld Expo 2007 here in the City by the Bay. I must say that I'm personally underwhelmed by the announcements. The AppleTV is nifty, but honestly, I won't consider one until it's hacked to stream content from apps other than iTunes. Some of the files I view won't play in QuickTime ( Read more... ) -
