+I finally got around to patching 
+<a href="ftp://ftp.tetrinet.org/pub/tetrinet/unix/servers/">the
+official Tetrinet server</a>.  I added a Makefile and moved some of
+the documentation around, so I'm distributing it as a tarball at
+the moment.  This is not a fork per se; I intend to submit my 
+modifications back to the developers eventually.  I also modified
+the CGI for
+<a href="/tetrinet/">my Tetrinet page</a> so the ranking
+works again, made a few slight modifications to the 
+<a href="/tetrinet/config/game.conf">default server configuration</a>,
+and reset all the scores to zero.  Also,
+<a href="mailto:term@kempler.net">term</a> has put my patched server
+up in his private CVS repository; hopefully we'll get a chance to
+bastardize it some more really soon.  Feel free to drop me an email
+if you've got any suggestions.

+
+Also, I picked up a WinTV card the other day.  It's neat being able
+to watch TV onscreen, but the drivers for this thing are absolutely
+terrible.  So far I've had at least three hard locks, and one
+instance of my parts of my filesystem just disappearing.  From
+what I've read, the support in the 2.4 kernels is much better, but
+then I'm going to be fighting to get Quake working.  I think I've
+gotten things smoothed out a bit, but if it gives me any more 
+trouble I'll have to do the kernel upgrade.
+<br /><br />
+
+We've managed to get a bunch more people hooked on 
+<a href="http://www.planetarion.com/">Planetarion</a>, so I decided to
+put up a quick page with some helpful resources.  Check it out
+<a href="/planet/">here</a>...  Okay, that's it for today.
