Current Status of my World

I have been at home for 2 hours, 47 minutes, and 23 seconds. Before that, I was prowling the concrete wilderness.

Awhile ago, I got a Linuxfund MBNA credit card. Ryan had been reminding me that I should start building credit and that his Linuxfund card got the chicks in grocery store checkout lines. Well, got smiles from the chicks anyhow. So I applied for one and some time later, got both a magical sliver of plastic in the mail and a cute little stuffed Tux.

Today in the mail I got another stuffed Tux. You can see him sitting on top of the little penguin bath toys Care got me recently. I'm not sure why they sent it, but I don't mind having another cuddly cute thing in my possession. You can never have too many cuddly cute things.

I also got a new 3800mAh battery for mu, as I've always been paranoid about the main battery giving out after awhile. This also means that I can go on bus rides and not worry about trying to minimize power consumption: 12h of actual battery life isn't too shabby.

I also improved my vocoder network a bit to use my joystick (USB Gravis Gamepad) as a keyboard. The network now uses the buttons on the joystick for notes and the voice will "sing" those notes. Hear µ "sing" my rendition of Mary Had a Little Lamb.

If you can read this text, you're either on a browser that doesn't support CSS or one that supports it badly. You've probably noticed that my layout is a bit choppy and perhaps even ugly. My layout here is designed to work in all browsers that support CSS 1 and 2 and was designed by reading the W3C CSS recommendations. It was tested in the most CSS-compliant browser I know of, Firefox. If you want this page (and others too!) to look nice, I reccomend trying Firefox - it's completely free and can also block those annoying popup ads out-of-the-box.
