The Design and Implementation of laffer1

My birthday is coming up quickly. I'm not totally looking forward to it. I had a lot of goals by 28. I think I've completed two of them. I had hoped to be in a serious relationship and since I'm married that qualifies. I also had hoped to start an open source project or begin work for a company on either an operating system or a web browser when I was younger. Since I started MidnightBSD, that qualifies.

There are so many things I haven't done. I had hoped to start having kids around 28. Since Caryn doesn't want children, that one is an obvious problem. I wanted to have a bachelors degree by now. I wanted to travel more, and leave Michigan.

I installed boot camp on Caryn's Macintosh. I didn't actually use the wizard though since that's what does changes to the Mac. Its not my Mac after all. I was curious as to the procedure to run Boot Camp. The new version supports Windows Vista, web cams and various other Mac features. Caryn's already got the latest Mac Pro firmware. It appears to only support 32bit versions of Windows. Caryn can't run x64 Vista on this. That's probably a good thing anyway. I personally think she should get a second disk and allocate say 20-30GB to XP and the rest to a BSD. Of course that's something I would do. Since Blizzard games run in Mac OS, she probably doesn't see a point to XP. I think she forgets that she has several Windows games like Vampire the Mascarade and so on. She's played those about as much as I've played Civilization III so far. I've only had that game less than a week. Its very complex. I wish it was easier to dual boot Windows versions. I'd love to reinstall XP for gaming. Actually now that I know the Just Journal client works in x64 vista, I don't technically need Vista.

I've always thought that a hyphen is a general purpose tool on a computer. It was used to seperate compound words, number ranges and a slew of other things. I was wrong.

According to this article, in UTF-8 encoding, an em or en dash are distinct. In fact, using the minus key to create a hyphen is wrong in most cases.

This one might take a little time to wrap my head around.
