warm weather and wings

Happy for official 64-bit release of Slackware Linux! I appreciate the slamd64 team but it was unstable for me. http://www.slackware.com/

Last night at Boston Market I heard the manager tell an employee, “If you drop my corn I’m going to fire you again!” Talk about motivation.

Spent 10 hours yesterday shopping for and helping build a pimping Intel Core i7 system yesterday. Kurt at MicroCenter absolutely rocks!

My favorite episode of South Park is on Chicago channel The U right now! Halloween episode where they spoof Scooby Doo!

Woot, overclocked my Q8200 15%. That’ll have to do until better cooling is procured…

I’m absolutely thrilled about my new white socks I bought yesterday, after several months of them disappearing.

Gata Kamsky beat Veselin Topalov today in a match to challenge Anand for World Chess Champ! Kamsky’s the best American since Bobby Fischer.

About to leave with the Glenbard West chess team for the State Championships in Peoria. SO grateful to coach such an awesome group of kids.

Reading up on referencing JavaScript event objects in Internet Explorer; listening to a rap mix on my computer. Who’s your favorite rapper?

I was in a Wendy’s tonight when the power went out. On cue, 2 guys eating explained exactly what happened like experts in a horror movie.

Just watched Devil in a Blue Dress, brilliant mystery thriller from 1995 starring Denzel Washington, based on the book by Walter Mosley.

Finally recovered from flu-like symptoms this past week. Just in time for Butler’s BBQ excursion with chess friends today (gourment wings).

My job today; irreconcilable misunderstanding…at least quad-core computing on Linux is GREAT. Wildest dreams w/mouse + keyboard complete.
