Hey all. I just joined Blogdial a few minutes ago. *waves* Hello.
Also, Conet project is quite interesting. I'm in the market for a SW radio now.

Masters cater to those below, artists cater to those above.

Try these leet codes for your Nokia fone: this one will switch your fone to "Enhanched Full rate codec".

*3370# EFR will be activated after a reboot of the phone ( consumes more power )
#3370# EFR will be switched off after a reboot of the phone.

7 hours bound in the cords of love
love and betrayal go hand in glove...

the chance is lost.

upgrade woes? at work today a botched install on
one of their nt4 mail machines ate the exchange records
for over three hundred users. via the backup all was saved
all be it for my nerves and the lack of food in my system. unfortunate
for me i had to deal with a horrible os but it's not my choice of platforms.
also thru this trying situation ip was taken away and the raid controller
stopped functioning.....needless to say i can relate. nothing like
running a ms network except the steady drip of never ending water
torture. also here in the us...northpoint(line supplier) filed chap 11 and
cut their service......:without notice from their wonderful isp no web-no
mail et al. i had heard that 100,000 accounts were dropped point blank
and again without notice. comcast(cable) and verizon(pstn) are scrambling
to further their already controlling grasp on the communications industry in
the mid-atlantic states. sad. by money...b(u)y freedom. hey home user you
want vpn? take that cable modem at 40$ per month and up it to 90$. what
else is included in this price? nothing! just an open port for pptp. again..
...sad. can someone say "anti-trust"?

Yesterday, tried to upgrade from Mozilla 17 to Mozilla .8, and when untarred the package, the sytem got hosed. x refused to start.

Took the opportunity to n00k® the installation and then upgrade to mandrake 7.2, this time without KDE (220meg) and a whole bunch of other stuff, like enlightenment. Couldnt do the upgrade the "right way®"; the mandrake 7.2 installer has a broken part in it; if it detects that you dont have enough space to upgrade, it gets stuck in a loop with an error dialogue.

Have limited space on this drive (1.5gig); need an 8 gig drive to do a less restriced install..then again, its "good practice®" (in both ways) to choose and install each package individually. These Linux installers are getting better and better. Next, going to give Debian another try, either progeny or the "real thing®". The potato 2.2 installer failed to create a /dev/mouse and frankly, "we need to work!®"

Woweee!
I was thirty yesterday (10th April) which was only 7 minutes ago, and, aside from taking me to a lovely restaurant, my gurlfriend bought me a copy of "I was a Robot" by Wolfgang Flur from Kraftwerk! How cool is THAT?!?!?

Boom Boom Boom Boom

ye link below doth not work!

check these instead, they rawk!
"Anti-Census Fever Running Wild"
"The Most Dangerous Site on the Internet"
48% of Americans said "privacy concerns" made them less likely to answer all the questions on the long form
privacy international

Predictably there is nothing (to be found on Google) about anti census activity related to the UK. If you find some, post it!

You can choose a ready guide
In some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide,
You still have made a choice.
You can choose from phantom fears
And kindness that can kill;
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose freewill.

This is something VERY interesting; read the essays by David Gerlerntner about information represented in streams, and then try it out!

As some of you may know there is a census coming around on Sunday April 29
2001

For those who don't know, a census is where the government collates
general information about it's residents (number of people living in
your house, religion, etc)

Apparently, if there are enough people in Great Britain, who put down a
religion that isn't mentioned on the census form it becomes a fully
recognised and legal religion. It usually takes about 10,000 people to
nominate the same religion. It is for this reason that it has been
suggested
that anyone who does not have a dominant religion to put "Jedi" as their
religion.

Send this on to all your friends and tell them to put down "Jedi" on
their census form. And remember ......If you are a member of the Jedi
religion then you are by default a 'Jedi Knight'.

So If this has been your dream since you were 4 years old.... Do it cos
you love Star Wars, If not........... then just do it to annoy people.

"May the Force be with you!"
