Until I graduate FSU.
UPDATE: This is now a "countdown" of the time SINCE graduation as I have already graduated. Now, after work I do nothing and it's everything I thought it could be.
I installed this last night on my 12" powerbook. This is a big improvement for both speed and stability. One other nice fix is that DVD+R media now plays in Apple's DVD player software!
Now I can watch "Fear and Loathing" on the Mac.
I just received my new video card from Newegg. This made a HUGE difference on my system. My frame rate in Command and Conquer Generals has tripled. It's awesome that a $100 upgrade can extend the life of a system for at least a few years!
Here are some pictures from our first family trip to Disney World. Although it was really crowded, the whole family had a great time.
We got season passes for everyone, so I'm sure we'll be back a few times this year.
Viacom and Dish have reached an agreement. Now I can watch Viacom stations (MTV, Nickelodeon and Comedy Central, etc) on Dish Network again.
Newegg has Radeon 9600's for $103.00 with free shipping and no tax. I couldn't pass this offer up. Tom's Hardware has a nice list of recent video card benchmarks, so you can see how present card performs. It should be a nice improvement over my Nvidia Geforce3 Ti 200. This is another great deal I found on Techbargains.com.
Mandrake Linux 10.0 Community Available for Download from the usual mirrors. I'm going to install this one on my Dell 333 Mhz file server. I just got a 180 GB Western Digital drive for it.

New in 3.4:
* Client no longer complains of connection to tracker problems when transfers are still working
* Lots of bandwidth savings
* Lots of bug fixes
UPDATE: Current version: 3.4.1, released on 2004-03-11. This is a bug fix and performance release. Everyone running large trackers should upgrade and encourage all of their users to upgrade.
I put 4000 miles on my Honda 919 since I bought it last summer.
I rode by bike in to work this morning for the first time in a few months. It was nice to take a break and ride around Cecil Field this morning. I'm headed to Bike Week in Daytona tomorrow.
