“What a twisted Web we Weave / When we Practice to Deceive…”

So how are you this morning? I’m ok. Even though I didn’t get “work” done yesturday (and I have lots to do) a few things seem to have been resolved.

  • I eat real food, including perogies and part of a california roll. A few more days and I won’t worry about the little hard things getting into ex-tooth sockets!
  • I can swallow again. I don’t know if the blockage is gone (it was there at the end of work yesturday and I was not feeling good), but it’s not causing pain or anything (much). It was a huge distraction trying to get real work done though ๐Ÿ™
  • My Galeon browser is working at home again. Seems I played with the toolbar and that broke
    things.
  • My SETI@Home [archive.org link] is working as well, due to a bad data file or something. Deleted the old and reset it and it all worked again.
  • Netscape (at home anyway) is still MIA. It starts, talks about loading up messages, and then stops dead. Not that it’s not a POS anyway of course, it’s just that it stopped working for no reason. Time for Cuv to make the webmail smarter, faster, and better ๐Ÿ™‚
  • Now to just get that pesky work thing going….

Re-arranged a bunch of drive space last night for MP3s too. I found a 10G partition that wasn’t being used which is good, just a PITA to not have it where it can be merged in with another nicely. I’d like to just combine it with the existing MP3 files and make a big 20G partition, but without using the LVM in kernel 2.4 I can’t. Well, that and I don’t have any place to put the files while moving things around ๐Ÿ™‚

Speaking of MP3s and the AudioGalaxy [archive.org link] program, don’t install it!! Tig [archive.org link] put me on to the fact that it containsย  spyware [archive.org link], which is not good ๐Ÿ™‚ The linux client I don’t think can track things like browsing and so on, so I’m still going to use it from that end, but it will not be run by a user that has access to anything but a place to put MP3s ๐Ÿ™‚ Too bad too, it’s a nice program.

Ah, there we go, move my old netscape config files out of the way and let it download the messages again and all is well. Yay! Now I can get my work mail at home agai…. oh wait a minute. Shit! ๐Ÿ™‚
