Nerdful Things, Star Wars and Hamboni

After several weeks of pitched battle with a HP dual Pentium Pro, 256 megs of ECC RAM, SCSI CD-ROM, twin 10,000 spin SCSI 9 gig drives it seems Windows 98SE is running stable. Finally installed the 98 CAB files onto the "0/C" drive and everything got happy. Now to the real task of installing the latest greatest version of Linux SUSE 9.2. It may not like the SCSI CD-ROM either. Hey, this just looked like a good place to have a working copy of Windows 98SE, you know the LiLo thangy.

Now to another arena of geekdom - STAR WARS!!! There is a Darth Tater version of Mr. Potato Head. Details can be found at Boingboing. Man, wish they'd had this out during the Christmas season - my shopping would have been much easier. Also, at least one of these will hang in the beach house closet -> StarWars Episode III T-Shirt. Did you know that there is a dude waiting in line at a movie theater in Seattle for the opening of Star Wars, Episode III, Revenge of the Sith? He has a blog!! It's called Waiting for StarWars. Info for the uninitiated - this movie opens on May 19, 2005.

Thanks for the emails and please keep 'em headed this way. Yes, I am still upgrading the 8 simple rules of computing and no Hamboni has not moved out; he still resides in the bigfoot SCSI drive that is now a door stop. The master of forecasting, prestidigitation, conjuring, mojoing n jujuing will be here to post his predictions soon.
