It appears that I have a new tradition. So far, I have wiped my hard drive (by accident) one time each semester. I am actually writing this post from my freshly updated reinstated notebook. I am, once again running Fedora 8. I got the wireless up in under 5 minutes courtesy of the directions here. The worst part was the updating involved–a total of 313 updates were required to bring my system up to speed. I find that I’m getting pretty good at this(installing the Fedora x OS) shaving time off with every attempt. I think I might actually time myself when Fedora 9 comes out.
Sayonara,

As many may have noticed, gas went up rather sharply here a few days ago. This increase, due to higher oil prices, was highly unwelcome by many including myself. One thing I didn’t notice, however, was that it would hurt me at more than just the pump.
I work at a Burger King in the wonderful state of Tennesse. I am the IT Manager. This position of mine means that I am responsible for maintenance of all systems in the store in addition to the Management of the various shifts I run. When minimum wage went up, this created a lot of work for me as the prices of every item had to be check/changed. I hadn’t cared too much to do this task, after all, minimum wage wouldn’t go up for at least another year. But when the gas went up, I was handed a new sheet full of a 100 or more price changes and I realized what I never had before, the shipping companies are going to charge more, giving retail larger bills, resulting in price increases and unhappy customers. This effectively means that one may soon notice an increase in the price of items at Wal-Mart and other stores and more expensive shipping from online companies.
All of a sudden, it appears minimum wage hasn’t increased.

Contrary to my lack of activity on the net, I am not dead. I’ve been up to my eyebrows in school and work and church and eating and sleeping and anything else that is necessary to my well-being. Besides letting you know this, I wanted to mention that I finally converted my parents to Firefox.
