Not really happy, but amused: the real-estate channel uses a Windows
machine for the display. We know this, because it is currently low on
virtual memory. :)

A high school friend whom I hadn't seen all summer returned from a two-week
vacation to find my email about leaving shortly, called me, & asked if i
wanted to go for a drive. While I was waiting for her, got a call from Dan
about our plans changing to give us an extra day in Ann Arbor, so we were able
to really go all out -- we drove through Dixboro, then up past Whitmore Lake
and through Pinkney to Hell, then down through Dexter past Ann Arbor and
Saline almost to Bridgewater, then out almost to Manchester, then up 52 to
Scio Church and back to Ann Arbor, over two and a half hours of bugs popping
on the windshield. Had a couple close calls, but managed to avoid killing
any mammals.

Re #498 - most people just rent their modem through the cable company.
Kalamazoo falls under Charter's regime, and the modem rental is $5/month. I'm
pretty sure Comcast charges similar rates.
IHB my new dress is turning out beautifully. This vacation-at-home is doing
wonders for my well-being. :)

Re 502: Thanks, and the Comcast web page say $3/mo. Seems about right given
my long-term plans to leave.
My dial-up account ran out yesterday, but after a bit of scraping around this
morning I found a copy of "cu" so I could Grex.

YEah, when I had DSL I had to pay $299 for the DSL router/modem/whatever but
I got a $299 credit for it a month later, and now we rent a cable modem for
$3 or $3.95 a month, and I think that's a fair deal esp. since they've had
to replace it a couple times.

IHB- after a couple weeks of agonizing pain- I have finally had all
four of my wisdom teeth extracted (procedure was completed about an
hour ago). Just a bit of local and some nitrous and I was rather
entertained by the process. It doesn't hurt yet... but I'm prepared for
when it does.
Also, IHB the beau is coming down later to take care of me, and my
roomie and everyone is being really wonderful about this.

Hmmm. I just got some emails from a couple of guys I went to Germany
with when I was 14. It was weird because I was just thinking about that
trip recently. Anyhow, they are trying to get the whole group together
which is pretty cool.
Also, my friend Shannon called me last night to let me know she is
going to be in town this weekend. What do you know!

Finally got to install some new jacks in the Ark's mixer, which should fix
the flaky-channel problem that's been going on for the last few months.

I'm happy because my DSL has finally been hooked up.
Also, had a fun day yesterday. My 13-year-old nephew is in town,
along with his best friend, and my sister and I took the two of them
out in the boat over to Bostwick Inlet on nearby Gravina Island.
Along the way we came across a pod of whales, one of whom was bold
enough to allow us to approach. After watching the whales for a while
we continued to the inlet, where we put down a couple of crab pots,
then went back to the mouth of the inlet and started trolling.
Caught a nicely sized silver and had enough keepers in the crab pots
that everyone had all the crab and salmon they could eat.
I'm liking Alaska..

resp:510 Hmmm... I had my wisdom teeth out when I was 16 or so. They
gave me painkillers, but I skipped them. I dunno if this would work
for you, as you had them out so much later, but what I did was changed
the gauze when needed, and remembered to ice my cheeks frequently and
on a rotating basis. Oh, you were just talking about food you could
eat? The vodka suggestion threw me.

IHB I'm putting the final hand-stitching touches on my dress, and it fits
perfectly.
IAHB I'm excited about my classes this semester. I went and picked up the
books today.

Finally I understand the rather nonintuitive "profile" system in the Red Hat
Linux (as used in Yellow Dog Linux for Macintosh hardware) network stuff.
Turns out you make have to make many copies of each device and the profile
switching only chooses which ones are active.

Re #521: Is that how it's supposed to work? That seems kind of screwy.
I've had problems because I have both a wired network card and a
wireless card. I don't (and physically can't) insert them both at once.
RedHat wants to call them both eth0 and gets confused.
