Ugh.. had a great post, then lost it, thanks to the intergalactic ISP (Infernal Shit Pile): AOHell. My second post for the day, with much better capitalization. Go figure. Spent loads of time finding a decent Red Hat mirror, and then gave up. I have discovered the much better Mandrake Linux ISO, so I'll download that tommorrow... if I can. So, my target time to have this project finished is sometime on Friday. Let's hope I get a clean install.

Read a good book called "Modern Operating Systems"... not quite so modern, more like 1992. But it has a very good section on Unix... so I got caught up on POSIX 1003 and the like. Speaking of 1003.9, how come no one talks about FORTRAN anymore? Alas, I must check my email... so, goodnight.

this is where my punctuation and spelling degrades...

so anyway, i tried to mod the win2k login screen, which would have worked perfectly, except for the forking "feature" microsoft put into SP2... respawning dlls! try to change one, and 5 seconds later, *poof*, your modded version is replaced. how useful...

i couldn't get the red hat download today because the domain was down... so that stinks. i'll have to try again tommorrow.

i made feeble attemps last night at drawing anime, and failed. better not try that again if i want to keep my sanity. i haven't done much on time tracker, since i've been working on this site, and talking to people online.

sometimes i wonder about the people in countries that have been "cleaned up" by the U.S... take somalia, for instance. delta force and ranger units took out warlords there, and it makes you wonder, "where are they now?"... what are the people doing? is their lifestyle any better or worse? maybe we should use the past as a tool to see the future.

take linux. linux came from unix. unix came from unics. unics came from multics. sort of. linux is now a great os, but is it really any different? can't you still type cp and copy a file? does anything really change? or is it simply our perception of it? sure, things change if you measure them, like the temperature, but it's still air molecules. there is one thing that changes... people. every day, every second, we are changing, thinking, adapting, learning... yet we can be so ignorant, so mean, so pitiful, we can see without seeing, do without doing... we are changing. and we change even more, or so we think, because our perception of ourselves changes as we change.

time to post this, i guess...
