today is wednesday 17 august 2006.

my redo of my suse linux machine on electron is done. frustrating--you can ./configure, make, and make install some applications and they still won't work unless you yast the rpm. if this sounds foreign--trust you me, sometimes it's almost easier looking at the german icons.

but i did get it working. with wifi and wpa. with samba, and it does share files both ways with windows xp. and it even does stream audio. it's pretty wild.

funny what gets bob scheaffer on the cbs news laughing. on the final story about pluto being a planet, scheaffer who normally has a "serious as dead puppies" look was cracking up commenting "who wears a monocle these days."

and alas for today, the dodgers got beat up pretty bad. 15-4 bad. it was ugly.
