I don't have much time, but want to get a few links posted, so I present... another list:

I'm typing to you from a resurrected Thinkpad T22. :) It's old Windows 2000 install is updating while I journal. I'm not going to keep said install, but it is useful to verify full hardware functionality. I've had this machine for a while now, but until tonight it had a bad motherboard. It has now been "saved" so that I can loan it to JT now that her Dell Latitude L400 has finally died (after surviving longer, better, and through rougher times than any other LS/L400 I've seen). (Ahh... How pretty all-black hardware can be. *grin*)

Also, it seems it has been my couple of days for repair work... At work I fixed a cheaper Dell Inspiron that had two screws loose and occasionally shorting the video circuitry or preventing use of said laptop via battery. I also opened one of the white Apple USB extended keyboards to re-seat the support bars for the left shift key and the space bar. The space bar was not set quite right, so the key felt wrong (to my picky fingers at least), while the bar for left shift was completely loose and occasionally rendering left command, left option, z, and caps lock unusable. Whee.

In other news JT and I have been pondering vacation plans. I've discussed them a bit with JK, and will soon talk to work, so we can make actual plans/reservations/etc. More on that soon-ish. But for now, I sleep.

Current music: T's iPod (via the Epoch stereo)

Tonight is another list of interesting things/sites to explore. Some are recent finds and others have been in my "to link" queue for a while. They come from my own browsing and/or discussions with friends. Enjoy.

The memes... They don't stop. :)

In other news. My brother now has a modern computer in the form of a Turion X2 based Dell laptop. Whee! Left to do and/or assist with is getting both parents newer hardware and/or operating systems. Then we'll all be using modern or nearly modern hardware...at least for a bit.

So first, digg has a user revolt over the AACS key leak. Then JPG Magazine changes editorial leadership. And now LiveJournal bans various user journals and communities, some for good reason, and some out of what seems like too much paranoia. Whee... Drama. And then six apart realizes that they screwed up and will rectify the situation.

As I write, I'm finishing food and listening to a storm outside. So, if we go on my last two entries, it takes a storm to get me to journal? :)

I have no major news to report, though I did recently close my account at JPG Magazine. This is due to no longer really trusting the head staff. More detail is available from the two founders. I enjoyed the bit of participation I had and wish H and D well in their future endeavors. I can only hope that the current head staff learned from what I and many feel was a badly handled situation.

On a better note, recent photo hilights:

Speaking of photos, via contacts at Epoch, I have had a couple of photos published. From two different photo shoots were picked photos for use on the page listing the AGLCC board members in the new publication Forward Austin. The first issue has been out for a bit, and the second should appear later this month or before pride in June.

Finally, a mix of extreme silliness and transit geekiness:

Now you have seen far far far too many cats and know too much about automobile transit systems. :)

Tonight, I'm sitting at Epoch doing random things.

However, I've wanted to note two things I like about late spring / early summer in Austin. First, all the pecan trees have bright green leaves in the morning sun. Second, sitting outside at the favorite coffee shop with several friends watching the lightning from a storm just rocks. It was a wussy storm with regard to wind and rain, but the blinky was quite pretty.

Wow... Three months since I last posted. I'm at Epoch helping J put Debian 4.0 (Etch) on her laptop.

In other news, I was in Houston last weekend to celebrate my grandmother's 85th birthday, which is actually this Wednesday :) Amusingly, the drive (on Easter weekend) wasn't too bad, despite my avoidance of toll roads and the drizzle. Also, I saw two amusing vanity license plates on the way: "MS. HAHA" and "ARFFF".

Before I run off to continue working on photos (yes, you read correctly), there will be another post in the next day or so. I have various bits saved in preparation, and it should even have new photo hilights. ;P

In the meantime, here are my most recent submissions to JPG:

A different kind of tollway... Whippin' the mane Piercing rays
submitted to: Entropy submitted to: Beauty Redefined submitted to: Breakthrough

Those three themes are open for voting until the end of April 11th.

Hmmm....annoying:

Nifty and/or pretty:

Good progress, if a bit overdue, in my opinion:

Some new photos:

Two quick things...

First, happy solstice/yule everyone. :)

Second, a good friend (J) returned from a year and several months in Germany on Tuesday, and I was able to hang out with her at Epoch yesterday. Yay! Later in the evening an old friend (C) who I saw more at Mojo's dropped by. It became an evening to catch up, relax, and chat about transit and other geeky things.

Wheee... Another late night post. At least this one is on a weekend. :) I only have a couple of links, but I think they're interesting/amusing.

Also, so far only the drives for work's SAN arrived, so no pictures of that until next week.
