I went bowling last night. It was my first time in like 4 years, but I did suprisingly well. One game I had a 144 (even with a bad start), and in another I was at 107 after 7 frames (but we had to leave). I think I may have to bowl intramural...

PICS sucks. I'm opposed to most Internet filtering / censorship anyway, but PICS is an absolute worst case scenario. It can never work. Until 99% percent of so of sites have gotten ratings, you can't really use the show only rated sites option without blocking a lot of good content. And if you don't have that option enabled, what good is the whole rating thing? The thing's also super paranoid. Even www.rsac.org (the people who came up with PICS) bails because of a ad rating not belonging to the ad server. I bet a PICS-disabling proxy would be really easy... (and before you get the idea that I'm trying to get at stuff, I don't even run a browser sucky enough to include PICS, so you can drop that thought)

Gimp is big. Real big. Right now I'm trying to compile the latest out of CVS to see if it fixes an apparent xcf bug in 1.1.0. Ugh. RPMs would be really nice.

I set up some new domains today. Calvary Online (the site I run for my church) is going to be re-launching Feb. 7, so I set up calvaryonline.org. I also registered msbob.com just for the fun of it.

If you're in the Muskegon area, and would be interested in a Muskegon Linux Users Group, contact e@mlug.net. It looks like we'll be starting one up RSN.

I take it back. It'll never stop snowing. Actually... Friday they're predicting rain/snow. That would truely be nasty. The roads are already bad, but iced over... Ugh, I don't even want to imagine it.
