Let's see
1/29/2005
School has been going alright. The trend has been a very busy first part of the week and then it gradually slows down during the rest of the week.
We haven't gotten that much snow lately, but they like to let it pile up and only plow a narrow walkway. Occasionally they bring around construction equipment and take away a lot of it. This is a picture my webcam caught...
I wonder where they put it?
The snow statues seem to be coming along nicely. They don't seem as impressive as last year, but maybe that's because I see them every day. When I get around to it I'll take some pictures for a preview.
My plan to migrate to Linux has had its good and bad moments in the past few weeks. I have two main problems, one of which is "fixed". My TV card isn't really supported but I found some software to get it to work. After a ton of work (mostly because I didn't read carefully) I got it to work. By work I mean show the TV stations. I haven't totally figured out how to record stuff or if I even can. The second problem is my webcam. Logitech's webcams are pretty well supported in Linux so I left that for the end because I figured it wouldn't be a problem. Well it turns out I bought one of the only webcams that doesn't seem to have a Linux driver. That alone probably kills my plan for Linux to dominate my main computer. I'll have to keep looking around for other options though.
Remember the noise cancelling headphones I talked about before? Well after using them for about three weeks I have to say they are the best pair of headphones I have ever purchased. With music playing you can only hear very loud things or people talking loudly near you. You won't even notice if someone comes in the room while you are wearing them. They are bliss for noisy dorms.
So what cool stuff have I been looking at on the net recently? Plenty! Remember the Lemmings PC game? Play it free online. How about an ASCII generator? It takes your text and changes it into characters to look all cool like that. I'd post an example but it doesn't show up well, I tried. I'm sure I've found more links since last post but I always lose them. I'll post more next time.
