Stranger Than Fiction
I just got done watching this movie with my family and I can honestly say that this is one of the most amazing movies I have ever seen.

Just a warning, this is a bloody rant:
Konsole and Artwiz Fonts
For whatever reason, I cannot get my fonts in konsole (SUSE 10.2) to not look like crap. Before I grew attached to KDE and konsole, I used blackbox and Eterm (for like 5+years???). And Eterm did a fantastic job of using the classic (and really good) artwiz fonts like smoothansi, fkp, snap, mints, edges, anorexia. Konsole, apparently, cannot use the fonts that I'd used (and kept) for years with Eterm. So I stumbled upon this sourceforge project which has resurrected the glorious artwiz fonts and allows them to be used in KDE/GTK applications once more (including konsole).

All Your Email Are Belong To Gmail
As written about previously, I've decided to let Google's Apps For Your Domain handle all of the e-mail for my domain. What this means is that for all incoming and outgoing e-mail I'll have them saved permanently (as permanently as 2 gigs of space allows at least) stored in GMail for my domain users and also stored on my web hosts's IMAP server. Cool beans, yes. But what about the e-mail that I've been keeping on my IMAP server for the last 8+ years, eh? It sure would be nice to get all that e-mail into GMail as well so that I can take advantage of GMail's searching.
Christmas Mousie
Merry belated Christmas wishes all! =:) One of my presents this year was this amazingly sweet Logitech VX Revolution mousie. It is really cool and uber-geeky. The spin-wheel scrolling thing just gets me all excited. =:) I have yet to get all the buttons working in Linux/X, but Button8 and Button9 (the buttons near the thumb) are recognized out of the box. What I want to get working (without having to futz around with recompiling stuff) is the back/forward mouse motions (tilting the scroll-wheel left or right). A virtual beer, oh LazyWeb, to the lucky soul to point me in the right direction! =:)
Bloody Heck, A New Addiction
As if I didn't have enough time for all that I already have going on, I had to go and find myself a new addiction. And find it I did and quickly.
