Geek Stuff:
My new computer officially rocks, except that the sound on the motherboard doesn’t work (replacement coming), the dvd player that comes with the graphics card crashes when I switch it into full screen under Win 2k, and there is something weird happening when I use the TV card in windows NT the machine just hangs but the tv pivture and sound still work. Linux is rock solid as ever 🙂
So this means that I can officially retire my 486. Ever since i put the latest Suse on that machine it seems to be running slower than it used to. I have moved email and the file serving stuff to my P200 which runs amazingly fast compared to my 486. The only thing left that I can think of is DNS and thats a piece of piss to move.

From the washington Post today
Its security unit unit alone received 18,000 resumes in the month after Sept 11
And I wonder why i never hear back about resumes I submit online?

Friday I went to an excellent concert Eddie from Ohio this was a lot better than there last concert I went to. They played two long sets.
Saturday we went to the Natural History Museum to see Amazing Caves. I think is this is the best IMAX film I have ever seen I recommend it if you get a chance to see it.
Today I was on my own so I decided to go down to the Skyline Drive to do some sun set photography. First rule of low light photography, bring a tripod (done) Second rule of low light photography bring the tripod clip that connects the camera the tripod (Drat and double drat). I thought was in my camera bag. I guess not. I toook most of the shots on film and a few on Digital.

This should never happen, I hand over my debit card at Micro Center, the guy swipes and asks “Is this your address…..” then tells me my address. I want to know where they got the list that links my credit card number to my address, I thought those items should never be connected. I don’t ever remember giving them my address before I normally make a stink about it, why should they need my address to buy computer bits. I know they have my address on file because I want their flyer, but I am fairly sure that I entered it on there web site, no credit card involved. Has anyone else noticed this?
