Well, I fixed the wireless issue that I was having. The solution was to add the rt2500 module (which doesn’t support WPA) to the blacklist (/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist). After I did that and restarted, the ndiswrapper module took control of the card, and I was able to connect to my wireless access point.

BBspot reports:
Microsoft’s innovative strategy to counter this reluctance to upgrade will be to release a bug-ridden, security hole-filled Service Pack 3 for XP. “Most people are happy with Windows XP and have no reason to upgrade, but SP3 will fix all that,” said Microsoft’s VP of Service Packs George Francione. “The bugs and security holes can’t be reversed, so there’s no going back. The only viable solution will be to upgrade to Vista.”

I was bored today, and I decided to give my site and blog a new look. I made it a lot lighter, and added a stock photo up the top. I think that it looks a lot cleaner and more modern. If you liked the old version better, you can still see it by using the style chooser up in the top right corner of the page.

We had a lot of downtime yesterday and this morning when we couldn’t connect to the internet. I also put a lot of photos in my photo gallery so you should take a look at them.

This is a really funny: Some people copied and pasted a whole website, and they left in the original content (just commented out) and the Google tracking code. Hoave a look in the source of the copy; it’s pretty funny.
“If you are ever so lazy as to steal the CSS and HTML from another site for use in yours, please remember: try NOT to take also the javascript code that tracks the site stats, unless you want to be caught red-handed.”
If the “Read More” link does not work, try the Duggmirror cache. It doesn’t look any good, or have the whole article, but you can get the idea.

I just configured my wireless LAN card today with NDISwrapper. This means that I no longer have to run a cable up the stairs to my computer! I have not been able to get this card to work with the Beta Linux drivers, so I have instead had to use a windows driver and NDISwrapper instead. This is working perfectly, and I am using it right now to make this post.
Now I just have to get Samba working so I can print to our downstairs printer…

We went to Riverfire last night, and it was pretty awesome. There were about half an hour of fireworks, and the two F-111s flew over us while doing a dump and burn twice! The sound of them flying overhead was incredible… It was deafening, and we could feel the heat from the burning fuel. They were flying very low, and had to be only 30 to 80 meters above us… The fireworks were cool too, and I got a couple of good photos; I’ll put them in the photo gallery later.

I found this game at this blog, which goes something like this:
Hop on over to Google search, put in your name, followed by the word, “needs.” Then, take the first ten sentences that make sense, and write them in your journal/blog.
And here are the results:
Stephen needs a working plan that will be straightforward and easy to implement
Stephen needs a special doc.
Stephen needs his own dwarf planet!
Steven needs some friends…
Stephen needs help
Stephen needs to improve his punctuation and use of tenses
Stephen needs special permission
Stephen needs the assistance of a good civilian lawyer.
Stephen needs to unravel the secrets and disturbances of his life
Stephen needs to be watched very, very closely
So true…

I updated WordPress a few days ago from 2.0 to 2.0.4. I was really behind on updating this software, and I am probably lucky that no one hacked the site. I also added a kind of sidebar thing, as I was getting sick of not having anywhere to put extra information. I hope you like it!
I registered for an account on Technocrati. You can check out what blogs link to me (1

I have probably blogged about this site before, but I will again because it’s awesome. They have a great new look, and a few more examples of CSS3. I really can’t wait untill CSS3 is widley implemented, because things like border images, rounded corners and multiple backgrounds make it a lot easier to make your sites look better, especially if it is a fluid design.
Check out the site at http://www.css3.info/
