A Song About Operating Systems

This admittedly geeky little song thing has a certain charm to it. Here's a little snipped of lyrics..

.."It's free!" they say -- if you can get it to run
The geeks say "Hey, that's half the fun"
Yeah well I gotta girlfriend, and things to get done
The Linux O. S. sux..

..but don't worry, every OS gets a serve.

Really, Really Hot

It's been really, really hot here.. up to 41 degrees Celcius, which is about 106 degrees F.

I've seens a couple of traffic islands where the concrete slabs have been pushed up by heat expansion. Check this out..

When I first saw this one the apex was 6 to 8 inches above where it should be. I took this photo about a week later; the white grinding traces in this photo is where the city has ground down the ends of the slab to stop it from standing up, which is why it's not as high here as I remembered it.

These next two pics are another one I happened to drive past with my camera.


Amazing huh.

It's not true!

A few weeks ago I heard that Joss Whedon had given up on the Firefly/Serenity universe and wouldn't be making any more stories with those characters. Well now Slashdot pointed me to this comment where Joss says that's crap.

All right, now I have to jump in and set the record straight. EW is a fine rag, but they do take things out of context. Obviously when I said I had 'closure', what I meant was "I hate Serenity, I hated Firefly, I think my fans are stupid and Nathan Fillion smells like turnips."

I hate to sound like a huge geek, but.. woohoo!
