Fedora Core 6 will be out on 11 Oct 2006 (if they keep to schedule this time). Expect some screenshots once I get the AIGLX special fx working. They’re a little behind SuSe on this one, but still pretty ahead of the game.

I miss you Dan. You’re my only kin for at least a thousand miles. Can’t wait until next summer! We need to hang out a lot more next time. Danielle will make some pho. q;o)

As I went though my top 200 photos, this was had 121 views and I clicked on it. It gives me great memories of friends, but it reminds me of how happy I am to have graduated. School was stressful and I always felt like I was just one step away from failing out of Cornell. In the end I did alright and graduated with a B average, but while I was there, going to school, it just felt so hard. I sympathize with all the freshman who are just starting to deal with their first exams right about now.

Here’s a comparison of my Fujifilm Finepix S7000 vs my Canon Digital Rebel XT with a Tamron DI 200mm lens on. I love how much closer I can get to squirrels with this lens!

In Sept I had 12,106 visitors to my server! That’s the highest yet!

I think it’s hilarious!

Sometime the best things are imperfect. For example, there’s something I just love about this photo even though I wasn’t able to capture his whole face since I was zoomed at 200mm and he was moving very fast. Yet I got it in focus and it is such a beautiful black and white picture. Not only that, but his smile and his energy come through so clearly. I just love it, even though it’s far from perfect.

You can find it here or on the right-hand side under “My pages”. This is a program that’s been in my head for about four days and which I spent most of yesterday working on until I realized I was going down the wrong path. Ah, but I’m getting ahead of myself. This program is my attempt to bridge the borders which artifically divide us in the blog world, while also providing myself with a convinience. The page, if you haven’t visited it yet, displays blogs from my blogroll all on one page. Live Journal, a blogging site, allows you to do this, but only with other LJ users. Similarly, Tripod blogs allow you to do it only with other Tripod users. However, they failed to appreciate the power of hacker bloggers, such as myself.

This darned pigeon and his brethren in the parking garage at work have put more bird feces on my car in one day than I have had on the car in its entire 11 year lifetime. “Of course you know, this means war!”
