Thunderstorms are rolling through. The thunder has been big enough, that I can feel the vibration in the floor. Rain, rain and more rain. The weather has conspired to keep the basement from being built. NWN wrapped up a little early this evening, so I get a change to post, while I watch the weather for M. I'll have to go to bed in a while and wake her up so she can storm-watch. Tomorrow I need to spend some real time in the computer room organizing and paying bills.

I've just about got M's Ubuntu virtual machine finished. Just a couple of app installs and it will be ready to transfer to her PC mini. There are two virtual machines active on the Linux server (Atlas) now. One CentOS and one Ubuntu. I'll have to figure out how to consolidate the user authentication on the Linux boxes without falling back to the Windows 2003 SBS Premium server. And I've got four web sites to work on, yet I'm hacking on the blog. Phbbbb.

No one has posted any responses to anything, so I still feel free to go blah, blah, blah. Speaking of which, the idiot Sean Penn made a movie. This is only good because I can now, deliberately, ignore his work. This guy is as useless as Martin Sheen, Susan Sarandon, and Danny Glover. There collective stoopidity has annoyed me enough to not be a consumer of any of their "products". Why these people are taken seriously for the politically punditry is beyond me. Making a living pretending to be other people is not enough to be a credible opinion on anything, except for pretending to be other people. Their only real hobby is keeping their name in the news.

There is the rant for today.

P.S. e-mail PBS and give them grief for firing Melanie Martinez. Stooooopid heads.

I writing this one from Safari on the Mac mini. The editing control doesn't have as many features on it. I'll have to try Firefox next, when I revise this post.

After a week and a half of feeling losey, today I feel almost normal. The cold seems to be passing finally. I spent some of yesterday evening cleaning up the master bedroom. It still needs work, but it looks a lot better now. Tonight I am working on the continuing organization of the computer room. Lucy just walked in, and I noticed that the dust-buster was emptied on the floor. Oh well. I still have to work on the waldschmidt.org web and e-mail setup. The e-mail I sent my dad, didn't make it too him, so I'll have to try again.

Today the turd-brained state attorney-general for the socialist state of California, opened his litigative-membrane against the major automotive companys for "global warming". Since this guy has nothing better to do than raise state revenue by engaging in frivolus lawsuits, now my tax dollars are being wasted while Bill Lockyer makes an ass of himself in federal court. And it will now waste my time by clogging the news with his stoopidness. Phhhbbbbb!!! Really, I would rather see him deport illegal immigrants to the southern tip of Chile. I swear if this guy runs for govenor or congress he should be deported too. (Cuba?) Really, the automakers should counter with the fact that the grand State of California is responsible for global warming, since they regulate emission controls on vehicles. Also, Hollywood his the biggest source of hot-gas in the world. Why not sue them too? How about smokers? And Farmers since cows emit methane and carbon dioxide. [note to self] I am really going to have to write this stooge a letter. Read about it in the BBC news. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/5365728.stm

I've got to get back to cleaning.

Yesterday was a loss. I wandered around like a zombie, when I wasn't sleeping. Today, I am moderately better. My sinuses still plauge me, but some of the soreness is gone. I got some more of my VMware virtual server work done. Things are running quite well on the new Linux box, I just wish I could stay conscious enough to make more progress. I need to be cleaning and organizing the computer room. Maybe a small distraction first...
