Why 1984 will be like 1984 :)

Seems the last security update fixes a problem where websites could use quicktime for java to get your iSight stream and see you.

This is very promising.

One of my favorite web technologies, Cascading Style Sheets, turned 10.  Gotta love that.

I may have to ban Aussies from using JJ.  Apparently links are illegal over there now.

I purchased the first episode of SNL ever. Its got a few amusing skits including Andy Kaufman doing Mighty Mouse and the 3 blade razor "ad". :)

This has to be the best version of Silent Night I've ever heard! I just sent the info to my mom (free on iTunes this week).

I need to keep this one for the next time someone argues PHP is a good language.

I've got Doom 3 sitting here and yet I think this is offensive...

In it, you are either a super christian killing non christians if they won't convert or fighting for the antichrist team in which you always lose.  I don't think you want to hear the list of people targeted as satanists.

I'm impressed.  I just tested my applet that I turned in using Java 6.  It loaded at least 4 times faster and seems more responsive.  I think Sun finally fixed the loading issues.  I just wish I could get Java 6 running on MidnightBSD.  This would be great for JJ.

I don't have to worry about windows imaging and am back to Mac OS X server for the time.  I bitched about lack of ram and had it ordered for me within 2 hours!  The G4 will have 2GB of ram now.  The domain name issue was resolved as well.  I'm just shocked.

Here kitty, kitty....

This is an interesting link.  It describes the allocation of IP addresses on the Internet in the IPv4 space. 

I got bored last night and created a new index page for foolishgames.com. The idea is that its a picture frame. Its not too bad I guess.

I had to do some updates for that elementary school site that I designed a few months back. It was rather tedious as I had to use exported word html. Can't microsoft clean that up?

I read on slashdot that microsoft is dropping VBA in Office 2007 or 2008 for mac (they usually release a year behind). Its no shock as they plan to go to .NET in windows for VBA stuff.

I played WoW today for a bit. That was fun although I hate what they did with the rouge talent tree. It sucks.

I uploaded the FalckonET build for the Mac tonight. That didn't take too long to do. Kami could fix one of the problems for me without breaking other platforms. I wish he would to save time next time.

I patched a few insecure ports but realized that ruby is screwed up right now. (well insecure) I'll have to play with that later. I wish i could figure out the x exteinsons problem. Either OpenGL works with the nvidia driver OR gtk and a slew of other stuff works. Its got screwed up header files most likely a result of using 6.8.1 for some of the extension stuff. Its possible I missed something. I need to verify the problem exists on FreeBSD as well. Its a time consuming hassle to check though.

I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off.  I've fallen so behind on open source projects.  I've got three that all need my attention at the same time! 

Right now I'm checking out the FreeBSD ports collection to look at a few of the ports they've updated.  I'm hoping to get some of the x11 crap fixed. 

I've also got FalckonET extracting so I can compile the Mac build. 

Earlier today I went to lunch with Caryn at Red Robin.  They have great veggie burgers and fries.  Caryn's gone to bed now. 

Yesterday we went to Bob Evans and then over to the mall for Starbucks.  It was nice spending time with her this weekend.  We haven't had much time together like that in awhile.  I think both of us made an effort this weekend.

Regular classes end on Wednesday.  After that its just finals. 

I've been writing the java applet for my web programming course. I've never done a java gui before. I miss .NET or even GTKMM! Sun is not with it on this one. Its a hassle.

I've got the GUI layout done, but I don't have the logic done yet. Addition seems to work fine. I've written a calculator in GTKMM before. I was using C++ and yet it was stilll a better experience.

On a side note, I found a bug in the just journal client today. I'm going to need to fix it and setup wincvs again. The JJ SSL key expired. I'm going to need to look at that soon too. I knew it was coming.

The G4 xserve wouldn't post at work today. Well we got a warning light and no video. The hard drives didn't want to come up. This server was dropped a week ago. We eventually discovered that drive 0 was loose and the pci expansion riser card had come out so the pci radeon card inside didn't work right. We reseated everything and got it to boot. Next we couldn't login and couldn't get the cdrom to boot. Eventually i figured out the keyboard had gone bad connected to it. AGGHHH

I got that assignment turned in for Technical writing. i realized that I made some mistakes on it but after i ran out of black ink while printing it and caryn's printer was cutting off text, i just didn't have time to do it. In fact i was 20 minutes late for class. it was most unpleasant. At least its all in. I'm not going to worry until tuesday. Next problem is literature. Tonight I have a psych class but i'm very tired. I'm not sure if i'm going to stay the whole time. Its a miracle I made it this far.
