I just found this site from france with some really cheap pcs and laptops (especially the table PC for 1200 Euro). When I get home I am definitely stocking up there :).[http://www.albatross.fr/] my french isn't what it used to be but I can still read numbers especially really low ones.

Midas
I have finally gotten around to setting up the Midas editor so that i can use it to post my weblog. It is really neat, just like the IE WYSIWYG editor I was using. It was really simple to set up (all done in my lunch hour). There is an API for it too so you can add more functionality than is there by default. To set it up all, I had to do was copy the html from the Demo page. Then edit some User Prefs. I added an additional Pref, (user_pref(“font.default”, “tahoma”);) so that Times new Roman isn't the defualt font (yuch!!)(How to change default font on the Gecko engine). The Midas editor is built on the Mozilla Editor. I will now never ever have to use IE again woohoooo!! (ok maybe when I require an IE specific plugin but that's it).
More RSS aggregators
http://www.lights.com/weblogs/rss.html is a lost of RSS aggregators (not complete). I'm going to mail them about Aggreg8 as it's not there yet. update : it is now (thanks Peter).
Speaking of Aggreg8..have a look at the Feedster.com search for Aggreg8, alot of results, mostly good ones too :).
Morning person and Gentoo
THE MORNING POEM
I woke early one morning, The earth lay cool and still,
When suddenly a tiny bird Perched on my window sill,
He sang a song so lovely So carefree and so gay,
That slowly all my troubles Began to slip away,
He sang of far off places Of laughter and of fun,
It seemed his very trilling Brought up the morning sun,
I stirred beneath the covers Crept slowly out of bed,
Then gently shut the window And crushed his fucking head.
I am not a morning person.
That poem was courtesy of a forward from Colm Dooley. (I am a morning person but the poem is pretty funny so I thought I'd put it up.)
The image above is taken from the http://www.gentoo.org website. gentoo is yet another flavour of linux that i am dying to try once I get a chance to go rasher with a computer. For thoe of you who are playing football tonight… beware I am on a mission!!! (to loose some of my "Sydney stone" that is.)
CVS
I've been trying to set up CVS on Linux for the last few hours but to no avail…….arghhh. Being the quitter that i am I have set it up on windows (much easier).
Yup Yup
Sup y'all. Back to work again after a pretty good weekend. I bought a bike for $20. The bloke was trying to sell it to the pawn brokers but they wouldn't take it off him as he had no proof of address, I offered him $20 as long as the lock worked (enogh proof to me that he owned ,at least, the lock), he did, so I am now the proud owner of a rather mingin' mountain bike. woohoo. I also hand fed some parrot like birds that have started to frequent our balcony… it's unbelievable how many colours those things have. I have photos and a movie of them I'll put up when I get time.
