Don’t you just hate that?

So I went to see if I could start a download of Knoppix this morning and discovered that I was getting a whopping 1.9KB/second download speed on the CD image. Gee at that rate I’d be ready to burn the thing sometime next week! A quick switch of mirrors has me at a much better 30KB/second download speed. Let’s see if we can keep it up and have the image ready by the time I leave at 5? 🙂

If not, I’ll burn it tomorrow when I come in and then I’ll have it to use all summer, assuming I don’t find another job in the meantime.

    Another Centrino review. Gosh those notebook chips make you want to run right out and buy a new notebook, don’t they? I guess I’ll have to somehow manage without one, though. Follow these topics: Uncategorized

    From Jevon’s blog today: “I linked to http://www.mikemcbride.com instead of http://www.mikemcbrideonline.com yesterday. . . Imagine my suprise when I followed the original link today. Hijacking.” For the record, I am not affiliated with mikemcbride.com in any way, shape or form! I do not get involved in such extreme religious/political arguments. I’m just a geek with…

    Good morning! I spent a good chunk of last night setting up the comments for my Brother-in-Law’s wedding site. It wasn’t terribly difficult and my wife appreciated it, which makes the effort worthwhile, in my book. :). Someone at work found a dead bat laying on the top of a box of invoices in our…
