And now for something completely different

The Dalai Lama is apparently a huge fan of Star Trek.

Go figure...

Wind!

Seabreeze still saying heavy winds. The only good thing is that Fort Denison seems to be reading 5 knots less than the forecast does, so possibly in the harbour it's going to be about 10 to 15.

Penguins!

Well, after talking about it for the last, like, 3 or 4 months, I have finally added (more) penguin-ness to my life.

Thats right, I'm finally outing myself as a geek.


I've installed Linux



And it looks HOT!
No, really...


The final straw was XP's Media Centre crashing almost every time I started the TV. Plus a whole bunch of other niggling little things (damn Norton). So anyway, still dual-booting with XP because I refuse to be without my precious(sss... Gollum.. Gollum..) games. i.e, gaming still sucks on Linux. I think. I have yet to try out any of the native Linux games out there and probably wont be until I can get to uni and get the wireless running so I have ridiculously fast download speeds. For that I'll probably be needing Eh, Steve's help. Sigh

On the other hand, Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 works perfectly in Linux...



As to why I'm up at this hour, um, I blame..., um...

Ah, I'm waiting for Seabreeze to give me its 4am update for tomorrow's wind strength. Going sailing tomorrow. Sailing's started again. Maybe I should get some sleep...


A final thought, just to get this out there. As a result of my (starting to become a bit infamous, at least to Kylie) random internet wanderings, I came across Date to Save. Visit at own risk. This site is what happens when early teen American girls get their hands on a Bible and a dictionary and start to notice boys. Well at least, I'm assuming it's teenagers. I'd hate to think adults in America can be like that.

A quote:

Doesn't God look down on missionary dating and tells us to not be "yoked with unbelievers"?
I (like) looked up (like) yoked, and (like) the dictionary says it's (like) a "A crossbar with (like) two U-shaped pieces that (like) encircle the necks of a pair of oxen or other (like) draft animals working together.(like whatever!)" I would (like) never encourage anybody to do this on a date... (like totally)



In case you hadn't noticed, I've gone and added the words which like totally should be there...
And it gets worse.

Truly scary place. And in a way, quite sad also. Sigh


Well anyway, forecast says 14 to 15 knot nor-easter from 2 til 3.30 (rough race time). Sigh. might drop. It was predicting 11 to 13 just twenty minutes ago. I'll check it again tomorrow morning.

Anyways, bed time for me.
