I updated the “default/misc/getOldStories (119)” template with new code that sorts old articles by month instead of day. Whoopee. 😛 Just trying to keep track of it all. :>
Upgrades on the way! Including:
- Another half-gig of DDR ram
- GeForce4 TI4200 – maybe not the best, but close
- Matching 80GB 7200 RPM drives – watch out Raid 0 here I come
- Another 60GB drive – to hold a new virus-free OS for Andrea
- 40x12x48 CDRW
- 19″ monitor – from 17″, another upgrade for Andrea
- UPS – what a concept, no more “Gotta propagate DNS records with my new IP”
- And last but not least, CASE FANS!
Still have a linux box upgrade to work out as well…
The zero-value self-perpetuating computing experience continues! Read on for the exciting story of me talking to myself! 😛 (Oh, wait, that’s nothing new, it’s all this entire web site ever was! hoohoohoo!)
I want to take a moment to document my first coupla dents in the slashdot/OSS world. I made the front page of slashcode with this silly little bit, in fact Krow himself (oooo ahhh) was actually forced to modify a param of the slashcode site following the overwhelming response! (2 comments, one if you don’t count me replying to myself) And my slashdot comment actually got moderated all the way up to 2.
I’s all growed up now!
“Yeah, you are totally hidden going through that proxy, trust me…”
Um, I’m gonna shut up right here, enough said about this one…
Prashanth: “Here’s a quiz. Who invented Calculus?”
Me: “I dunno, Pythagoras? Euclid?”
Prashanth: “Nope, it was EINSTEIN!”
Me: “Aaaaaaaappp! WRONG ANSWER!”
Still convinced he was right, Baby Bird started digging for the answer. When dates like 300 AD started popping up, he got a little concerned. Turns out that if there is an “inventor”, credit would go to Newton, or perhaps Leibniz.
