I CAN HAS LINUX? and other woos
I'm posting to you from my shiny new 64-bit P4 Duo Linux box, baybee. 130 GB of scribble room. 2 GB RAM. No waiting. And for the first time since early 1999, I don't have to use Windows at work.*
Nibs got me a Netflix membership for Other Parent's Day. Aw. DVDs are love. No more shall I be a Philistine when it comes to pop culture! If Scarecrow is a shlep for you as it is for us, Netflix is a godsend.
My boy is reading about as much Potter now as I've been reading to him, and he's been amazingly good about not staying up late to do it. This is almost certainly motivated by lust for the movies, which he watches obsessively, but it's a gift horses
I brought a corset down here meaning to mend it in the sun during lunch, but I spent that hour moving my 'pooter. I think I'll do that now by way of celebration.
*I'm not a partisan of any OS (anymore). I have to say, though, that since most of our customers use Linux it makes way more sense for me to do everything on it. Also, I think it's a more flexible and robust development platform, even if its bread-and-butter apps are rougher around the edges than the Windows equivalents. I haven't used a Mac since 1998, shortly after Apple shipped me a busted IP stack and drove me straight into Bill's clutches. I've also learned a burning hatred of Solaris. Yes, I know admins love it, but believe me, developers don't.
