title: More Fun Than Fun Itself...

I'm in a rush, but here's the news:<br /><br />

<ul>
<li>Getting a cable modem -- it should be here any day now.  This translates
into a lot more updates by me.
<li>Went to a mu-Ziq/Luke Vibrant concert last month in Portland.  It was
awesome.
<li>Bought a 10 gig drive from <a href="mailto:wardje@ucs.orst.edu">Jeff</a>.
Combined with my pending fast internet connection, and
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/?group_id=518">one</a> of the many
Linux <a href="http://www.napster.com">Napster</a> clients, I can already
feel my MP3 collection growing.
<li>Set up a web server for <a href="mailto:hammonss@ucs.orst.edu">Sean</a>.
Soon he will be a 31337 H4X0R like me (j/k).
<li>Added a few things to the <a href="/projects/">Projects</a> section.
<li>I've discovered <a href="http://www.abisource.com/">AbiWord</a>. I've
used <a href="http://www.stardivision.com">StarOffice</a> and 
<a href="http://www.wordperfect.com">WordPerfect</a>, and AbiWord is
by far the best Linux word processor.
<li>Page redesign now pending.  Just gotta get a little bit of free time.
<li>I managed to fill my home parititon on the web server, so my news
posting scripts merrily erased all of my old news postings.  I restored
from the last backup, but a few of them are missing. Oh well...  No biggie.
</ul>
Oh yeah, I'm available via <a href="http://www.icq.com">ICQ</a> now. 
My UID is 58304995, and my moniker is pabs.  Harassment is welcome.  I've
also been spending a lot more time in #e (EFNet IRC nick is also as pabs)
again lately.  The crowd there is great -- I can always find someone who's
interesting to talk to, or that I can really piss off.  Either way, I 
still have fun.
