And it burns, burns, burns.

• NotN: Palin condemns campaign critics as "big meanies". Of course, the picture was the fun bit.

My back has been hurting like hell (Freda's been demanding piggyback rides ... it's part of the job description) so I collapsed upstairs with codeine and beer. Finally cranked out the above notnews at 11:59pm. I still need one for tomorrow before going to Nye's.

I love redcountess so much I let her install XP on my Compaq Evo N410c laptop, so the shitty, shitty hardware would work. (Liz: "Linux is like the Mooncup. A nice idea, but messy and not for the squeamish.") And of course the official wifi driver's reliably bluescreening. Bup-pow. Now running on an external card.

Update: Apparently driver 1.00 C works. And of course Linux 2.6.27 support was added to orinoco_usb today and will be checked in shortly.

You need non-shit less-shit hardware? How much do you want? When can I deliver my hoard of junk fine legacy equipment?

(Seriously... there's a Athlon64 3500+ that's very close to being decommissioned, and I won't miss it. Does it have a new home?)

Try shoulder rides. Allows you to stand up straight with the weight directly over your back/legs.

These are shoulder rides! Of course, she holds herself on with my remaining hair ...

Less-shit hardware. Apparently the current version of the wifi driver bluescreens if it sees an N network at all anywhere around it. But apparently an earlier version of the driver is not susceptible.

(And a cast-off AMD64 would be highly welcome thank you! I'll pay with my body ;-)

Maybe you should bulk up. You could buy a bag of potatoes and just carry it around on your shoulders when you're going places.

Interesting. The image of Sarah Palin as the prom queen in blood came up here as well (http://www.236.com/video/2008/final_sarah_palin_vlog_10071.php).

William's 5 and still insisting on shoulder rides everywhere. Perhaps this is the reason for Heath's receding hair line that he's suddenly started obsessing about.

[reddragdiva]

No, that's 'cos Heath's ooooold ;-p

Yeah, but that was the Exorcist.

(That video's brilliant!)
