Cop vs. Cop Too good to resist linking to. The police in Seattle are bored since the WTO left town. So bored that a few of them rammed their patrol cars together and proceeded to have a gunfight. Luckily no civilians were involved, and nobody was hit. Methinks that doesn't say anything good about their accuracy.
System "Upgrade" Due to my amatuerish sysadmin practices, the server had some issues for a day or so. It's all fixed now, but as a result of the time I had to put in to rectify the problems, we've upgraded the server somewhat. Karlo.org is now running Mandrake 8.0, plus has some extra memory (total 128 megs.)
A very painful way to upgrade the system, but we don't seem to have lost any fingers or toes. I did, however, cut open my pinky and drip blood everywhere. Long story.
Toymaker's System Ever wonder what machines Dell Computers head honcho Michael Dell uses at work, home and on the road? Dell's web site has information on their CEO's systems. Nothing mind blowing, but those twin black 17-inch monitors at home look sweet... and he definitely has a taste for black, it seems.
Music Guide Amazon.com has release a free, rather neat Recommendations Plug-in for Winamp. It recommends music for you based on what song you're listening to, and seems to work a lot better than the other music recommendation services floating around. Be warned: the only way to turn it off seems to be uninstalling it (although you could just close the browser each time you start WinAmp.)
