Amarok 2

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.

Wine and Meat

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.

Moving

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.

Reading

I found a few problems with my reading lists regarding dates. I’ve fixed them all so that it is relatively accurate.

Garfield, 2.0

I grew up reading “Garfield” comics. Now, it seems there is an even better version that excludes Garfield from the strip. It can be found at tumbler.

Failure

As always, PhD Comics seems to be thinking on the same lines as I do: link.

Time Again

I thought I’d post the current uptime on my MythBox since it has finally surpassed my last high number post: up 44 days, 6:52. I will be rebooting it at some time to switch to the updated kernel that’s been sitting around for the last 10 days.

Writing, Redux

More useless information: my 15-page paper has blossomed to 21 pages….and I’m not finished writing it yet!  Oh, and my maximum limit is 20 pages.  I’ll have to remove a few things… Lastly, I typed my bibliography: it’s only ten entries, but two are collections of Nietzsche’s works (each has 4)…and all these entries are books I read over the last ten weeks.  I had to shrink the font on that to fit it to one page…..

Writing

Totally useless information… I’m writing my paper for class on Nietzsche (just started today!).  The intro paragraph is 246 words….and I could make it longer.
