Added Redhat Linux 8.0 Impressions to Editorials

Christmas + 2. For Christmas I got Redhat 8.0 the hub / cable I wanted. I installed Linux 8.0 on my computer the 25th. Except I couldn't really get Windows to work so popped in the Windows CD in. But the partition was only 2 gigabytes. So I reloaded Linux. It works better then when I copied Redhat 7.1 from the college. So I'm not afraid of trying new things. I even opened up the cache to see if the modem was working. It was and it took me 2 days after Christmas to figure out that I typed in the wrong dial up for my modem. Oops. My dad got the Band of Brothers DVD Collection so I watched the first 4 parts with him.  I also got the 20 GB portable MP3 player I wanted.

Added to links menu / added Resident Evil pics on side of page

Merry Christmas to all the people who have been on this website. Today I played alittle Super Mario Sunshine. Earned a few stars. Then switched over to Resident Evil zero. I been playing this game for 2 days now. I haven't even got into a hour into the game yet. The graphics are really cool. I don't think the man hunger zombies count for some of the beautiful art work. But this is the first resident evil game that had co-op (2 characters working together to do the same thing) I don't know. It's interesting. I like it.

I was looking at TigerDirect and saw this deal on Processors/Motherboard combos. At first I thought it was this another one of those 400 dollar plus deals but I could get a Athlon XP 2.2 Ghz Processor /w Motherboard for a steal -- $380 /w tax. Doesn't that wanna make you drool?

 My family had a good get together at my cousin's house. She cleaned up the house nice. Her husband is the kind of guy that would collect Model Cars. He had his collection of over 60 cars. The most popular was the 1969 T-bird. What would Christmas be without "The Night before Christmas dolls." I was little surprised that they had 2 book shelves full of CDs where right my our hosts home surround sound system. But owning all those CDs is the hard and expensive way to get the songs you like. Sherrie and Jeff could save tons of money if they burned music to disc. If they had a high speed connection and downloaded songs in mp3 form, it would pay for itself 3 times over.  Good there's a lot of bands that are sell outs. Not that a lot of their music isn't good. Most bands I listen too that sold out have 2 or 3 good songs in their arsenal.  

I ate a lot of mashed potatoes -- delicious! Didn't get any presents though (I think that's because I am never around relatives and they simply didn't know what I needed.

Changed website setup

Last day of school before Christmas Break. For some reason my memory doesn't work too well in math. Those problems [ A squared x B squared = C.] Simple Alergra to most people are simple. I got to know the calculator very well. I forgot the entire book since I took it 2 years ago. Now it's another grade. I changed my webpage to look more professional. I'm suppose to get a webcam from bob half priced. He broadcasted his through a modem. Since then I thought why not broadcast myself? So I watched him do weird things. I got someone's opinon at school and he said that this page looked a bit better then my previous index. Not that it matters to most people.

I also got the new Resident Evil Zero for the Nintendo Gamecube.

First of all I am done with my computer class at River Falls. I liked the feeling I got when I was around college students earning a techician degree in something. The place I went to wasn't at all crowded. I did good on some things and not so well on others. I really couldn't study appropriately. Which is probably some bull-shit I've created in my mind. You can do what ever you believe in. That was a fear I had because I have trouble fitting in. I bought a copy Popular Science - 21 Century Soldier. I think the weapons now a days are kick ass. They have the new military standard -- M-249 which can fire 20 bullets per second. In all it can fire 900 continuously. One thing that's always stunned me in the military is the F-22 Raptor aircraft. Also in the book is some outlines of future aircraft carriers and the fact that future marines will look like the Swat Team with mini rockets. Explosive can cover more range. The military probably found a way to mass produce rockets cost efficiently.

In class I wasn't really talking to anyone. Yet I swung back and whispered, "Hey what's everyone doing?" Everyone at school want's to go see Lord of the Rings : The Two Towers when it comes out next Wednesday. I looked at reviews on the web and found that it's suppose to be successful. But another feeling tells me that this film won't be what everyone's watching in 5 years. It's doesn't seem like it but the movie will be something that comes and pasts
