The Life Review…

So, I’ve been playing with the iBook G4, which has a nice amount of RAM and large disk. Mac OS X 10.3 is impressive, however, I’m going to be putting Linux on it soon enough – maybe triple-boot the box with Yellow Dog, Debian, and OS X.

I killed Fedora People last night, because of WordPress’s silly smiley feature – we’ve found a bug in the planet code when it can’t parse a non-UTF-8 character. Smiley feature has since been disabled, and planet code hopefully gets fixed to be more robust.

Smirnoff, my Australian silky terrier has passed away. Sigh. To add to the list of nasties, albus, my most powerful box, just sat there and died while it was playing some anime for a friend. Several reboots later, everything seemed to have hung; there was no getting the DVD drive to open. It’s now powered down, in hopes that it’ll come back soon, as I’m busy fixing other things.
