I was taking a leak in the bathroom here outside the LUG office and I noticed a PUBE on top of the urinal I was using.

Now realize that we don't have any students here that are 8 feet tall who may have conceivably left this little goody by mistake, so this means that somebody purposefully PLUCKED this pube and left it there as though it were some work of art to be perused by all.

Dear Anonymous Pube Plucker,

There are doctors for what you do. Please visit one yesterday.

So I think my poor old mom might be reaching senility. Here's a story she just sent me:

I used to have a Labrador Retriever. I was buying a large bag of Purina at Wal-Mart one day and was in line to check out. A woman behind me asked if I had a dog (?).

On impulse, I told her no; I was starting The Purina Diet again, although I probably shouldn't because I'd ended up in the hospital last time. However, I had lost 50 pounds before I awakened in intensive care with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.

fantastic example of why you should sanitize bug reports before submitting: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=472370

So in my copious spare timeRead this as: time in which I was trying to relieve the mental pressure building in my head so that I did not explode and make a mess on my keyboard., I was poking around looking for a filesystem to replace reiserfs on my media box. I've been getting weird fs errors lately which cause file accesses to fail until the next reboot.

Anyways, I found a neat fs comparison here: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/388

It looks like I might be switching back to jfs.

A few people have expressed interest in the paper I did on the economics of filesharing. It's not very good, but it was enough for an A. Don't be too critical, I wrote it overnight during this last hell week.
