Lindows

Michael Robertson, ex-CEO of MP3.com, has started a new company called Lindows.com. His company is trying to develop a Linux flavor that will run Windows programs. Man, I hope he succeeds. I don't begrudge Bill Gates his right to make money, but the way Microsoft is clamping down is going to hurt it in the long run. You can read more about it here.

Unix class just drug on today. I'm sure the quiz set the tone. The teacher wasn't into it today, either. We're supposed to be learning how to recompile a kernel, but we didn't get very far. Oh, well.

Not Fair

Current mood: devilmood--stressed frazzled
Just had a pop quiz in Unix class. ARGH! 70%, not good. What a terrible thing to do to a class on a Monday.

Where Did The Time Go?

Dang, I sat down to quickly check my email and fix yesterday's blog alignment problem I was having at 6 a.m. It's almost 9 and I'm still sitting here surfing! Where is my morning going? I have to leave for school soon. I wish I could stay home today, but for once, I'll actually miss something if I don't go.

Stinky Dog

Damn dog has got gas. HELP ME! I can't breathe! I think he's doing this to get back at me for shaving him yesterday. LOL The funniest thing about him is that whenever he farts, it scares him and he runs from it. HA

I Didn’t Give It Permission To Do That

I had to install Zone Alarm on my computer. Something on my system has recently been starting a dial-up connection every time I boot up. It turns out to be something in the Norton utilities I have installed. I just need to figure out how to disable whatever is dialing out without losing my ability to update my virus protection. What a pain.
