Assembling my new system.

Saturday, May 17th, 2003

The nice FedEx person delivered my shipment from newegg.com today and now I am sailing blissfully along in geek heaven.

Now, while I’ve installed new hard drives and cards and such into my computer in the past, I’ve never actually assembled a whole new system from scratch. Right now I am trying to figure out exactly how to mount the motherboard onto my case. I’ve got a little bag filled to the brim with an assortment of screws, bolts, standoffs and other such things, but absolutely no instructions.

Woo! :D

Mozilla Firebird 0.6

Saturday, May 17th, 2003

Finally, after a seemingly endless development stage, the next milestone release of Mozilla Firebird, the browser formerly known as Phoenix is ready for download.

This version is so much better than the last milestone. It’s not perfect yet, but it’s already far better than IE or pretty much any other browser. I feel handicapped every time I use someone else’s computer and they only have IE.

I must formulate a plan to convincing everyone I know to switch to Firebird.

Update: For those of you that dislike unzipping programs, here is an installer for the newest release. (Courtesy of Seb from the Mozillazine Forums.)

Where’d the moon go?!

Friday, May 16th, 2003

Tonight’s lunar eclipse was one of the best I’ve ever seen.

It was a beautiful night with barely a cloud in the sky. If only the weather were as accommodating during all celestial phenomena.

About the Alias season finale.

Monday, May 5th, 2003

That was one of the lamest cliffhangers I’ve ever seen.

And when is Sydney gonna be sent to a CIA shrink for always having to dress like this while on duty?

I’m just sayin’, you know?

Replayed Half-Life

Thursday, May 1st, 2003

Woo-hoo! Just finished the game. Played it on Difficult this time around, and man, some parts near the end were rough.

For those of you that have never had the pleasure of seeing the ending, I’ve summarized it for you in the following screenshot.

The Fabulous Half-Life Ending

No, really, that’s pretty much it. Well, you’d have to see it for yourself to understand.

Off to play the expansion packs I go!
