(Oh yeah, I'm back .. and married!!)

Grr... Screw you VeriSign!!!! -- "VeriSign Eyes Valuable 'Junk' Traffic"

Now, I'm no lawyer, but aren't they forcing me (and you) to agree to their TOS just by forcing their "Site Finder" page to load in our browsers? Paragraph 14 of their TOS labelled "AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND" states "By using the service(s) provided by VeriSign under these Terms of Use, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions here in and documents incorporated by reference." What constitues using their service? Having typed in a wrong URL and getting their lame "Site Finder"? If so, then I just agreed to something before reading it. That's just evil!

My argument probably isn't legally strong but I encourage everyone to call up VeriSign and tell them you want to be excluded from their service.

I've posted a rant from Jason Garman here.

Who said you couldn't run Mac OS X on a Mac plus? I've got a picture to prove you can. Thanks EtherKnot.

Here's a link to some desktop pictures I've collected from various sources over the past year or so. No snazzy interface for it yet. At my current rate, plan on holding your breath for about a year.

I'm really enjoying my new PowerBook G4. Runs a tad bit hot but it's still a cool machine. Below is a picture of it (right) next to DShadow's new (used) Powerbook G4 550. They look the same but don't let looks deceive you.

YAY! My PowerBook G4 finally got here. 800 Mhz G4, 1024 MB of RAM, 60 GB HD. All I can say is mmmmmmmm.

I finally got ming shared libraries to compile under Mac OS X. Patches for 0.2a and CVS are here.

Yay!!! I have an iPod now. Very very slick little toy. Now if I could just find a case for it.

I've been reading up on reviews of Apple's iPod. I want one. I don't have $399 to blow though.

One comment about the reviews though. Wintel uses are complaining that they can't use the device. So what. What about all those Wintel peripherals that don't work on the Macintosh because the manufacturers aren't writing the Macintosh drivers/software?

10/23/2001
So, Apple announced the iPod today. 5GB hard drive, FireWire, 10-hour battery life, ultra-slim. I'm really not sure what to think of it. Apple should be marketing it as a FireWire storage device that also plays MP3s though. Still, it looks cool.

New site. Still working on moving everything over to the new format. It'll be another 3 years till I finish =)

I woke up this morning to blinking lights on my DSL router. Downtime: 10 days. The coolest thing was that the connection I made via dialup after losing broadband stayed up through all 10 days. 252 hours to be exact. Not a single disconnect. I hear that's better than some people's cable/DSL connection.

Screenshots Archive is back to normal. Enjoy.

No DSL yet. Got the equipment but everythign isn't setup yet on the ISP end.

04/04/2001
I've lost my DSL connection due to Northpoint going bankrupt. I have a Covad order in that should be completed this weekend (Apr 7th). Until then I'm crippling my screenshots archive so I'll have bandwidth for email and whatever else I'll need to do.
