The Design and Implementation of laffer1

One of the issues with running a webserver yourself is uptime.  There is a perception that an individual can not do as well as a hosting company.  Well I've got a third party auditing service which checks one of my domains every hour.  Over the month of May we had an uptime: of 99.866%.  I think that is very comparable to a hosting company since I used to work at one.  I was above 99% on an NT4 server back then over a year. 

I was up almost the entire night.  I haven't been this tired in ages.  It was not by choice.  I wrote last night that I'd start my essay in the morning.  I didn't even wake up until afternoon.  I'm still very tired.  Maybe I got 6 hours of sleep.  It wasn't continuous sleep.

The latest version of the GPL does little to stop the Novell/Microsoft deal which could seriously impact the community.  Patents are the biggest threat to open source software. 

I just bought the walk the line soundtrack. Its just great. The bass has to be driving my neighbor nuts though. I wish I had superhuman hearing like him and superman.

I just published my flowerpot essay. It wasn't that time consuming to write, but it sure took me a long time to get it formatted and posted for some reason. I really need to register cuteftp pro on my mac. It lost the registration after moving systems.

The flowerpot designs I did are actually not to bad.

The readings for eng328 were a bit rough this time. The PDF quality was not the best. I initially downloaded the PDFs on my Mac which has an older 15 inch LCD display. I could not read the PDF documents. Blowing up the text made it way to fuzzy. I also do not have the printer hooked back up yet to print them. So then I emailed them to myself to get over to my PC. I just bought a new monitor the other day so I figured it should look stunning. Well, it stil wasn't that fun to read although possible. There were a few words that were still hard to make out. I found that a bit odd considering I'm using cleartype and acrobit reader isn't typically that bad. One of the few things Microsoft did well was create cleartype in the late 90s. OS X uses PDF natively to do 2d on the screen and it sucked on that.

I've been so busy with homework that I haven't booted into MBSD on my PC since I got the new monitor. I'm curious how widescreen is going to work with the console. I still have to finish up revisions on my 328 essay. Doh.
