Month: February 2003

Wow, I must really be a geek.

Today I installed the latest version of the KDE window manager, and it’s really really sweet. It has a whole new look, lots of nifty features (the kind that make you say, “now why didn’t they think of that a year ago?”), and a bucketload of functionality. But only a geek would really get excited about a new window manager, right?

Now that I have ten (count ’em, ten) desktops running, and I switch between them every few minutes, I can’t imagine why I’d ever want to run boring old crummy crashy Windows again…

It’s 2:09 in the morning. I’m still working.

Yeesh.

Continuing our five- or six-year tradition, Laralee and I watched “Groundhog Day” once again to celebrate the momentous holiday. What a great movie… very funny, and despite the obvious humorous slant of the plot it has a good message at heart.

One wonders, though, how in the world Groundhog Day got started. Is it purely an American holiday? Who came up with the notion that a large rodent seeing its shadow would indicate another month of winter? It boggles the mind.

Holy cow, after about two years of procrastination (coupled with guilt) I finally got around to updating my web site. The content is largely the same, but now it’s linked to my online journal and if things go well I’ll be updating photos and other stuff to keep it “fresh”.

It’s about time.
