So, I’ve installed Suse Linux 9.0 at home. It’s been probably 4 years since I had a working Linux box at home, and those have been some of the most exciting years in the Linux world. I hardly recognize it. I have to learn everything all over again.
The Society Page

Interestingly, the reception we had in Oklahoma City hit the society page of The Sunday Oklahoman (4/11). It must have been a slow news week.
MovableType

I’ve converted the Blog over to MovableType, away from Blogger. I like it a lot, so far. The format of the site will probably change a few times over the next few weeks while I play with it. It doesn’t quite match the rest of the site (which will be mostly moving over to KyleAndLaura.com anyway). The good news is this will make me interested in Blogging again, since I’ve been away from it for a while.

The reception pictures are posted over on KyleAndLaura.com, which is the new site for anything “family-related”.
Jake

On December 13th, 2003, Jake died of heartworms. He was infected when we got him, and we had no idea. Most cats don’t live for 2 1/2 years with heartworms, so we consider ourselves very lucky to have had him for so long. He brought a tremendous amount of joy and love into our lives and we miss him very much. Rest in peace, buddy

How you know you’re at a conference for geeks: Out of 1200 attendees, 1170 are men. Out of the 30 women, there are probably 7 that are attractive. One just walked past me, and her sweater is on inside out. Even the attractive women in this place can’t dress themselves.

Ah, Florida. I forgot how much, um, fun it is to walk out of an air-conditioned building and have your glasses fog up so completely you’re forced to take them off. I’m here for a week-long
developer’s conference. This gives me a great opportunity for people watching.
Windows XP

Jul
I quit fighting Microsoft, and over the last few days, I have fully bought in to the new look and feel they’re pushing on us for Window XP. I finally started using the “My Documents”, “My Pictures” and “My Music” folders they create for you. And, I started using what was previously called “HTML View” for folders, and with XP is called “Common Tasks”.

“The attitude today is that you can write any sloppy piece of code and the compiler will run diagnostics. If it doesn’t spit out an error message, it must be done correctly, right?” full article

On April 12th, Erich Ritter, Chief Scientist of the International Shark Attack File, was bitten by a bull shark, off the coast of Walker’s Cay. He was bitten in the same exact spot where Laura and I snorkeled, as mentioned in
this entry. He’s still in the hospital. Get well soon, Erich.
