John Henry at 32
The great Thoroughbred, John Henry, just celebrated his 32nd birthday. His caretakers report that he is just as mean and nasty as ever. (via matociquala)

Smokie is my mother’s cat: a very friendly Manx.

Edgy Eft
After running Fedora Core 6 for several months, I installed EdgyEft, the latest Ubuntu release, released on October 26, 2006. I had run previous versions of Ubuntu, but gave FC6 a try because that is what Jack runs on his machines. However, I could never quite get rpm working correctly on my machine and when your package manager doesn’t work consistently, it makes the machine seem very fragile.
Edgy Eft installs Firefox 2, and I was glad to see that my favorite Firefox extensions installed without difficulty. Other than that, I haven’t noticed any big changes: it is just nice to be using apt-get again.

At least we have a nice view while waiting for the train to pass. (Photographic note: I had to play with the light levels using Gimp since shooting toward the sun confused the light sensor. The wide-angle look is purely a feature of the topography of that area.) I’ve wanted a good photo of this area for a long time: this is the closest so far to what my eye “sees.”

This is D – E – F – I – N – I – T – E – L – Y one of my problem words.
Nanda
I can remember when Jack could have used a nanda. He had a simple method of dealing with noisy alarm clocks: he threw them across the room. They usually didn’t last very long.
