I was reviewing the browser stats for MidnightBSD.org.  Most websites throw out crazy numbers for IE like 90%.  Well IE is a little over 11% on that site.  That is all versions.  Firefox has 54% with 45% as Firefox 3.  Opera has 6.94% and Safari has 7.15%. 

Isn't open source great.

 My first day of class went OK.  I don't have much opinion on most of my professors yet.  However, one of them needs to learn how to make online content.  This professor designed pages with many colors, all caps, and font sizes.  It makes it stand out less when it's hard to parse.

My books were $300.  :(  

This sucks.  My dad is in the hospital again.  (since thursday)  

The server is practically dying right now. Apache is going nuts. I can't do anything about it and I have no upstream to do much. I can't even get to my websites sometimes. Talk about load problems.

Good news i think i fixed sysinstll.

it's addding packages right now, but i'm so drunk i can't finish this tonight

shit

i've got the mysql graph on the dashboard in os x and it's showing a weird pattern of db connections. i have to wonder what is going on with that. it's like up and down a lot. maybe i shoudl wait on that testing thing. I don't think i'm quite with it right now.

I'm so drunk right now. I never drink this much. I had a beer and then i started drinking jagermeister in a coffee cup. I had at least 3 rounds.. nota full coffee cup, but a small amount in the bottom. It's so weird. Caryn is home and i'm tosty. My dad and i talked for 1:50 (hour + 50 minutes) and i can't believe it. We were talking about cars or something at the end. the snap built and i need to run thorugh the installer before i tag midnightbsd 0.2.1. I keep having to retype things. it sucks.

this story is getting stranger.

I just finished watching Waitress a few minutes ago.  I don't know how to react to the movie.  I had a vague idea of the plot, but it was not what I was expecting.  It was a great movie, but it also made me sad.  

OK, this is just odd.  I think this is to gain Clinton supporters, but I don't think it will work.  She's an oil producer's spouse.  I don't like the further ties to big oil.  She also has only been in office for 2 years as Govenor of Alaska.  Come on.

McCain's age is a big issue for me, and picking someone without experience as a backup isn't a good call.  

I'd probably be OK with voting for her on a ticket if it wasn't McCain sitting next to her.  The combination is just scary. 

 I've been looking at Dell's website lately.  I find myself actually liking several of their products.  At the same time, I don't seem to like as many on apple.com.  It's not just the servers; some of their new laptops have amazing battery life.  I've been tempted to buy one of their open source laptops to replace my aging IBM Thinkpad.  It's not the right time to update and I should focus on replacing stargazer.  I've got a 2002 dell workstation that i bought refurb in 2004 running my websites.  It's not what it used to be.  

 I've completed a number of tasks tonight.  I'm quite happy about that.  I may call it a night on mnbsd development.  JJ seems stable for now.

I'm working on two open source projects at once. It's rather disturbing.

I had to update jj and i found a really stupid bug. The new time stuff is adding a letter T prefixing the time! It doesn't always happen so i have to deal with a string replace on that

Here's a youtube version of "Into the Sunshine" by Julia Nunes
