Well, my system is in the middle of an
install of Gentoo Linux. By switching to
an alternate terminal, I can use links to
blog. How nice . Never mind the fact
that it seems to be taking forever for
x.org to compile but what ya gonna do.

I have never completely finished a Gentoo
install. Maybe because my machine was
a little too slow to handle it. Now that I
have a better processor and memory and video
card (currently, the oldest component in my
computer is my Sound Blaster Live X-Gamer 5.1 which
is still a pretty good card…though the line in
is going bad–I use the line in for sound from my tv card).

Damn…I want one.
If I didn’t have to repair my current machine and pay off college debts, I would have one. And, of course, I would have an OS X / Linux dual boot. Here’s a link to a guy who set up such an environment. Fun fun! Extremely yummy goodness!

I just learned (thanks Air America Radio ) that Maya Keyes, daughter of Alan Keyes, former candidate for US Senator for Illinois (he got ROCKED by Barack Obama), is gay. Ok…Dick Cheney’s daughter, Newt’s sister and now this. I just think that’s hilarious…
