My laptop works... but its got a white glow in the bottom right corner and the hard drive is going to die - I know this because it told me. "Whiinneee whiiiinnee whiiineee" Not the best noise for one to make eh?
School's good - but I fear that I'll never actually do anything in engineering clinic. Today we took another survey and got back last weeks. Last weeks survey was actually useful. It was to determine what types of learners we are so they …
Today my laptop had an unfortunately accident with the ground. Now it won't turn on and apple won't cover the damage on the warranty. (I bugged the hell out of them and still no good.) Now getting the package to them is becoming a chore too. I need to first get the package and then put my laptop in it and then give it to them. ("You can drive to airborne and they'll take it from you.") I'm having it shipped to Brooklyn instead and when I'm there …
Today I found out that the Sci-Fi channel was canceling Farscape. Not because it sucked or nobody watches it but because it was becoming too expensive to make. Slashdot is running an artical about it. So I called Sci-Fi's Viewer comment line at 212-413-5000 and left a message. I also went to this web page http://www.interpage.net/ and sent a fax (free) to these numbers 212-413-6531 212-413-6522 212-413-6503 212-413-6524. Requesting them not to ca…
I'm consolidating the Otakon pics in the pictures script.

Its a bit later. Some jerk took a sharpie to the walls and wrote shit
everywhere and now we all have to pay. $$$ jerks...
I got an e-mail today with a link that sent me to a site that told me... "You are worth exactly: $2,022,540.00."
I'm here. More later.

A balloon artist is walking around to tables with little kids and single (or
alone) mothers. He keeps his
package of balloons in front of his "package" and puts on his show for the mothers more then the…
I'm here at Starbucks paying for internet service. I threw the
payment plans into excel and make a nice little spreadsheet to work out which
plan is cheaper. If you have to use it go for the prepay plans you might
get left with a few extra minutes (don't worry they become void in 23
days) but you'll probably be left wanting more. 20$ for 120 minutes or
50$ for 300. Either way its about $0.16 ($0.166666666666...) per minute.
Cheaper then the "net …
I've been editing again (not just the content but the text file formatting) as you may have noticed, and again, if you have any complaints, you know what to do.
As soon as I have time (which means not any time soon), I will patch Mike's news script and some of my own HTML code to make the HTML on this site (1) more logical, and (2) standards compliant. My hope is that I'll be able to reduce the amount of HTML code that's in the text file and chan…
Tomorrow I leave San Francisco, and I don't know when I'll be back on the net.
I'm taking down music.roborooter.com. I'm sure those who knew it was there won't care. Those who didn't know can go to http://www.frontalot.com/. It was just his music.
I put up a few new pictures (not all from this trip though). I'll have the complete collection (which isn't finished yet) up when I get back. Talk to you all later.

The guy here (Nick and I are the only other people) just turned on his "Underground Dance" music channel. =p
I'm liking these Cable cars. I just uploaded some pictures from Armstrong Woods. It has trees there over 1500 years old. On a side note, that remixed Elvis song (A Little Less Conversation) just started playing. More later.

I walked about 25 blocks through China Town here in Sanfrancisco and found only one network (wifi) and it had WEP and Cisco's thingy (I forgot its name) so that wasn't an option. =(
So I'm at a "net cafe" with "underground" dance music. It's acutally pretty cool with a nice view of they bay. I'm killing their bandwith by uploading all my pictures (dumped in the "California" folder until I get back). When I get back, I 'll organize them into subal…
If you're one of the unlucky few to have seen me recently, I'm sorry. If you haven't then don't worry you probably won't. In a couple of hours I'll be flying to California (I'll take pictures) and then I have 3 days when I get back and I'm off to college. Hope all our readers are doing well.

I just upgraded Petra to the latest release of libc6 and it broke apache. =0
So I popped into #debian to see if I could get some help. After getting yelled at for not
reading the topic I finally got this after I suggest a simple configuration fix (which doesn't work).
