fun with numbers
March 11, 2001 by Eric Richardson
The other day I finished a 10 minute and 13 second phone call at 10:13pm. For a second I thought my phone was messed up, then I realized it was right.
My car hit 100,000 miles on Saturday. I got to my house Friday night with 99,999 miles on the odometer. That was kind of cool. It got me thinking about how few times the odometer has only 1s and 0s. I know, that's odd, but it's really what I thought about.
linux section updates

I just put up a new screenshot in the Linux section. I don't have anything really cool to do a screenshot of, but I was writing some scripts to automate the process so I figured I might as well do one. I also added thumbnail images of the shots to that page. It's more for look than anything.
mostly back

So I fixed my little libstdc++ debacle today. Now I'm back in Mozilla.
Part of my reason for upgrading libstdc++ was to install a new copy of AlephOne (the open source version of Marathon).

Yesterday I got the Marathon 2 data files working with Aleph One (I bought an M2 cd a while ago when I found it for $5). Fun stuff. I love this game.

(still posting from w3m...) Tonight's Futurama was hilarious, mostly because of the fact that it involved a lot of penguins. It's hard not to be funny when penguins are involved. I don't usually watch this show, but if they're all as good as tonight's was, I might have to start.
more brokenness
March 04, 2001 by Eric Richardson
So now I've managed to end up with not only a broken httpd, but also broken browsers (both Netscape and Mozilla thanks to a little libstdc++ upgrade). So now I'm sitting here with a big transparent Eterm running w3m. I'm typing this post in vim, which is cool, but I really would prefer to get my nice little graphical browser back. Click for a little info about w3m...
