I just upgraded a bunch of stuff on the o2. It wasn't easy (the IRIX lib stuff is still an absolute mess), but I now have it running all the latest stuff from cvs. See an SGI in all it's glory, here.

the cameras

January 27, 2000 by Eric Richardson

I rearranged my cubicle last night, and most of the cameras are currently either down or very dark. Because the Indy cams are now pointed towards the side of the room with lights, they're having a lot of contrast problems on this side (I still haven't bought lights for my cubicle).

Lots of code still to write... — Continue Reading...

So netscape was dying on me today (and sucking the machine with it, so I go to kill it, just like I would any other day (and do, quite frequently). When I go to list its process, I'm greeted with:

2004
almost there
I'm sitting in the Detroit airport right now, taking full advantage advantage of the wireless access I paid $7 for. We're here about two hours...
always missing something...
I hate that last minute panic of trying to figure out if you've remembered everything you need to take on a trip. Normally I forget my phone charger...
back, but not for long
I have to be quick this morning, since it's 8:35, I leave for the airport in two hours, and I haven't packed... The trip to Vegas was good. Traffic...
