today is monday 04 september 2006.

return from wyoming! wedding this weekend--the last of four straight wedding weekends . . . took off from the back to school retreat all the way to cody (about a hundred miles from yellowstone)--the nine hour trip was near non-eventfull. except i'm not used to taking trips this long anymore (gone are the days of the trips to atlanta and washington, dc). wild stuff . . . you can find photos here at inbox.

so i get to casper . . . i go to get something to eat . . . and the lady asks "you're not from here are you?" really, in cowboy country i wonder what i did to make her think that . . .

many animals on the road . . . jack rabbits move pretty fast . . . but, speeding corolla moved maybe just a little faster.

and cows . . . a plethora of cows. i think someone told me there were more people here in lakewood than in wyoming. i think there's more cows than people in wyoming.

back to life in denver where there's dsl, wifi, and digital wireless phone reception . . . suse 10.1 is hip. got a 40 gb hd that was on the scrapheap . . . gives more new life to electron the old toshiba computer. the added space now makes electron a jukebox--starting the slow process of moving gigabytes worth of mp3s. hip, indeed.

but i promise you--i wouldn't know how to do if i had to redo it again. significant changes from 10.0 to 10.1 . . . it's always brand new to me. but yes, the wireless with wpa works. so does firefox with my favorite extensions and themes and streaming audio with mplayer. and amarok the audioplayer should play all the wma and mp3s in my collection. maybe i'll try to even get truecrypt to work . . .

the dodgers remain in first place. they took two of three from the struggling rockies. i think the rest of the division is finally starting to fall apart.
