daily / healthy!

On a more positive note:

I quit smoking 3 weeks, 3 days, 22 hours, 17 minutes and 41 seconds ago.
During that time, I would have smoked 432 cigarettes.
That's like smoking a 0.04 kilometer long cigarette.
By quitting I've saved $189.00.
I've avoided ingesting 1.7 grams of tar, 0.2 grams of nicotine, and 2.2 grams of carbon monoxide.

daily / RIP kahlua

My Linux desktop crashed yesterday and didn't come back up :`-( It's the first linux crash I've had in years!

As it turns out, the software isn't to blame, though. Have a look at this detail pic to see why.

And it's out of warranty too. I suppose it's a blessing the house didn't burn down though!

wifi / conference

Quiet on the blog front this week coz I've spent it running around at the VITTA 2004 Conference. The AMD64 box from my previous post got volunteered to play squid proxy to two labs of computers and two venue levels of WiFi goodness :-)

The system ran beautifully and wireless worked pretty much throughout the building. (Flemington racecourse grandstand, for those who care).

work / athlon64

And yet again, this time on my own machine. I wonder why Microsoft thought it was a good idea to release a 64bit version of Windows that doesn't support *any* of the mainboards available for Athlon64 CPUs. Debian Pure64 installed and booted just fine ;-)
