All: radio stations, satellite radio, grocery stores, elevator music selectors… DIE!
I am sooo tired of hearing this song, its been almost 10 years, I swear this song gets played WAY too often.. I hear it everywhere, 5+ times a week.. it makes me vomitous.. seriously. STOP PLAYING IT!
So I signed up for a six month trial of RoadRunner Premium service. It’s on special right now for $50.00 a month for the first six months. It goes up to $69.99/mo after that. I’m sure I’ll cancel it when it goes up. It’s supposed to be 8 Mbps down 512 Kbps up. I’m only seeing like 4.5 Mbps right now. We’ll see tonight, gonna do some more testing.
Looks like theres no morse requirement anymore starting next month for upgraded licenses. In the past learning Morse was lazily keeping me from upgrading my license. Now that I don’t have to worry about it, maybe ill upgrade and pick the hobby back up.

The MSC Napoli, which was holed in storms on Thursday, was run aground following “serious structural failure”. This happened in the English Channel, near Devon. The ship was carrying some freight for a customer of ours that we were shipping. It’s kinda neat being somewhat related to a vessel sinking over 4800 miles away.

So I spend about 95% of my time on the computer in Linux, mostly Gentoo, some Slackware, some Archlinux.
I’ve recently been looking at Macs. I wonder if maybe they’d be the perfect medium for me, mainly I’d love to use Aperture for the managing of my library of photos (12440 photos, 27gigs). About 1/4th of the photos are RAW. Linux doesn’t really have any really great applications for managing raw photos like Aperture.
I have been playing with Adobe Lightbox in XP, which is in beta right now and will soon expire. It’s decent, but likes to crash. It’s not really comfortable to use for me.
Mac also offers a bash prompt, built in Perl, compilers, it’s background should be very familiar to me since I’m a Linux nut.
Now to save the cash for a mac, and decide whether I wan’t a Macbook/Macbook Pro/iMac. Maybe I’ll spend $1200 on a laptop, but then I think what if its not enough power. I just don’t know.

Talk about some cold weather for this part of the country. I don’t think we’ve had weather like this in a few years.
World of Warcraft — Burning Crusade came out today… I didn’t buy it. My account cancels on Jan 29th. I’ve pretty much stopped playing all together, it’s nice not being so stressed out all the time to make raids along with real life deadlines.
