You can +read all about it +<a href="http://www.eff.org/IP/DMCA/US_v_Sklyarov/20010723_eff_adobe_sklyarov_pr.html">here</a>.</p> + +<p> Oh yeah, I promised an update on the +<a href="http://www.debian.org/">Debian Linux</a> install. Well, so +far things have been going great. I'm now in the unique position of +having either too new of a glibc or too new of a gcc for occasional +applications. Of course, that's my only gripe, and it usually only +takes a bit of tweaking code in order to get it to work properly. </p> + +<p> Anyway, a few days after I installed Debian, my motherboard decided +to crap out on me. The diagnostic LEDs seemed to think it was a dead +CPU, so we went out and got a new Duron 750, which didn't do any good. +A few days later, <a href="http://www.snowman.net/">Snow-Man</a> and I +went out and got a new motherboard (a MSI K7T Turbo instead of a MSI +K7T Pro). That seemed to fix things up nicely.</p> + +<p>I haven't been working on a whole lot lately, but I did manage to +eek in some time to write a quick GUI bash and gdialog wrapper for +<i>apt-cache search</i>; you can grab it +<a href="/downloads/gacs">here</a>. I revamped my bash tweaks, you can +grab the latest version from the +<a href="/projects/bash_tweaks/">Bash Tweaks</a> project page. I also +rewrote and posted an updated version of my +<a href="http://www.vim.org/">VIM</a> config. You can grab it +<a href="/downloads/?only=vim_config_0_1_0_tar_gz">here</a>. I rewrote +most of my <a href="http://www.mutt.org/">Mutt</a> config as well, but +I haven't quite finished packaging that for public consumption just +yet.</p> + +<p>A few random things... Since we share the same office, +<a href="http://bma.debian.net/">Brian</a> has been threatening me +with one of +<a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/things/31d8.html">these sissy +Nerf guns</a>. I've decided to get +<a href="http://web.mit.edu/mouser/www/railgun/halluc/intro.html">one +of these</a> just in case. I accidentally stumbled across +<a href="http://astalavista.box.sk/">Astalavista</a>, a great site for +grey and black hat security goodies.
