Did I mention my server had a really long uptime? It's just decided to reboot itself.

Oh well, it was time to move on to CentOS anyway (they only had Fedora when I first started). I'll probably take it down this weekend for a reinstall. Further bulletins as events warrant.

And yes, I have backups.

[Update: Apparently it was a power outage. But still.]

I can't see how it is ever in a seller's interest to place a bid before the last minute; all you can hope to achieve is to drive the price up, without increasing the odds of winning the auction at all.

Am I missing something?

I don't know what's stranger: the fact that apparently it now considered chic for New Yorkers to ride Dutch city bikes, or the strange way in which the things seem slightly off to my practiced eye... there's just something about the frame geometry that immediately tells me that this is not the real article pulled from a random Amsterdam canal.

Coworker: "Hey Walter, what's undo in vi?"

Walter: "u".

Coworker: "What if I'm already in insert mode?"

Don't call me, I'll call you...

(Update: Okay, I got it working again an hour or so later, running 2.2.1. Apparently my vintage 1.0 hardware is "incompatible" with 3.0. The whole thing has left a bitter taste in my mouth though. Why does it have to be this way, Steve?)

Well, I had the idea some time ago, but I've just realised that it should actually work.

All that remains now is an implementation...

But I might be soon.

Well... soon. After a suitable dramatic pause, of course.

The display in my media center-ish case now works:



(To my disappointment it turns out that "THE ESSENCE OF BALANCE IS DETACHMENT" does not fit in 2x16 characters.)

And thanks to the magic of dual-core CPU's, I can now use Windows to do two things at the same time! Truly, the future has arrived.

Never again do I want to see the phrase "Setup is starting Windows".

Update six hours and €300 later: everything's working again, and as a result of my new hardware Thief 3 is finally playable.

I tried to fix my noisy CPU fan by putting a drop of oil in it.

Now it doesn't boot anymore.
