Today I found another person to add to the growing pile of confirmed idiots I’ve seen out in the wild. This guy sat for several minutes waiting for a parking spot at the front of the gym. The spot in question had someone in it sitting in it with the car going but they were

I was reading a bit of the ‘ol Inluminent weblog this evening and came across a post about Netscape 4.x support. Now anyone that knows me or the group I’m in (you know who you are) know there have been more than one mighty battle about this subject. Lately I’ve softened a bit, I think

I’m sick. Bleah. I’m not sure if it’s allergies, but I woke up at 2:30am last night after getting to bed at a nice early 11pm with a lovely fit of sneezing and wheezing. Got up, had a big glass of orange juice. Woke up late, was slower than normal getting up and about and

Just a couple of things that have really pissed me off in the last couple of days. Just because you have your hazard lights on does not give you the right to stop in front of the no stopping signs. Especially on one way streets that aren’t wide enough to begin with. Unless you are

While I don’t use XP all the time, I use it enough to know it sucks slightly less than some of it’s compediters. However, last night something came up that really made me go “hmmm.” Actually it was more like “%$@$$#@ XP POS mother @#$^%@@!!!!!”, but that’s not the point. I’ve finally gotten around to

Ok, I installed Redhat 9 from scratch yesterday. I go to do an update and install some new packages (CVS, postgresql, etc) and after sitting and grinding for a while it spits back that “…the following packages were not found on the system, installation cannot continue until they are installed”.
