Strange

This feels strange.
New Orleans is experiencing its first major storm of the year and i am not there, nor will i be.  It feels different because i’m used to packing up everything important, boarding up the windows, moving things away from the doors and windows, and watching the news to discover whether or not we should be leaving.  Katrina looks like a pretty bad storm that will cut very close to New Orleans tomorrow.  My grandmother is already in Texas.  My mom’s side  is loading  up the vehicles to get to some family in central Louisiana.  My father is MIA currently.  It’s a category 5 hurricane (only 3 have made landfall in the US…ever).  the 64 knots there means that the winds in that area will be at least 75 mph for a sustained period of time(with gusts up to 160+).  Also, they are expecting an average of 8-10 inches of rain at my mother’s house.

Rant

  • As Amarok 2 gets closer to a release, it is looking better and better. There's a new feature in the works that will give Pandora a good fight: music biases. - #
  • Today, two great things (according to me, at least) have been released: Firefox 3 and Wine 1.0. Nearly everybody should know what Firefox is, however many probably don't know about Wine. It is an Open Source project that works as an abstraction layer so Linux (and other POSIX) users can run Windows programs (such as Photoshop) on Linux without needing to have Windows installed. - #
  • After a long wait, it is official.  I've been accepted to the University of Glasgow's doctoral program in theology.  The term starts in late September, so I'll be moving some time between now and then. - #
  • I found a few problems with my reading lists regarding dates. I've fixed them all so that it is relatively accurate. - #
