Seems like at least a few good friends here on the site are taking a hiatus, or are at least thinking about it. Was it something I said? Maybe my breath? (*huuuu* *huuuu* breath seems okay). wink

It'll be sad to see you guys go, but I understand the reasons---even if I don't know the circumstances. Shoot me e-mails and things. kiss

As a tribute to how much of a computer geek I am (not that you need more evidence), I hadn't realized until yesterday that this Sunday is the Super-Bowl. And then I had to be told the teams who were playing, followed by the cities those teams are from.

At least the commercials should be good.

Last year I was on Kwajalein Island, or RTS for the Super-Bowl. The entire island of Kwajalein is a US Army base. For those of you not familiar with US Military installations overseas, most of them only get a few TV stations, with the most (in)famous of those being AFRTS (and yes, we all pronounce it A-farts). Now besides the general lack of good programming, AFRTS is probably most known for its propogan^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hhelpful commercials. Things like how to adjust to your new base, how to get your kids involved with your PCS, and things you should know about the UCMJ.

Sure enough, the Super-Bowl was on AFRTS, and the commercials---the only reason I actually watch the Super-Bowl (besides the general social-ness of it)---were all replaced by fun facts about different states in the US.

It sucked.

YAGM (Yet Another Geek Moment)

For those of you who are interested (and I know you all are!), I've changed my e-mail setup here.

I don't have my own mail server for the house (connection isn't reliable enough here at the house---but if any of you can get me a deal on a UML Gentoo hosting plan it would sure be swell), so I was doing nearly everything with webmail.

I finally decided I'd had enough, so I set up postfix here on my PowerBook to deliver locally in maildir format, and set fetchmail to gather e-mail from my POP3 accounts and hand them off to postfix. The last piece of the puzzle is to install procmail and configure it to sort out all of my mailing list traffic.

So, with all of that in place, I can use mutt to read my e-mail over my ssh connection from work.

Is there anything you *can't* do in a VT100 session? (I really don't think so---both Quake and MPlayer compile against aa-lib, so you can get your gaming and your pr0n fixes... What else do you need?).
