I should really say, "first day back" since I worked there part-time in the fall.

Thumbs down.  For both of them.

Both movies were written by Charlie Kaufman, and I think both were directed by Spike Jones (at least Adaptation was).  Coming off their success with Being John Malkovich, Yelena & I expected good things from these two.  Unfortunately, they only seem to have one formula:

People who read my blog want me to know that I can get free ringtones, ring tones, payday loans, and personal loans.  Thanks a lot.

Solution: I've made it a little more secure.  You can still post--and I hope you will!--but your comments might be subject to approval before they get posted.

Just another case of the jerks ruining it for the good guys.

Solution: make sure you're compiling the program on a drive that has execute permissions.  Turns out the permission table for a file is useless if the drive mount doesn't have the execute flag.  (My fat32 drive didn't have it turned on.  I could turn it on, but it's much simpler to just copy the source to my linux drive and compile there.)

ROCK ON!

What happens when Jordan has a headcold? He sits in front of his computer and catches up on his photo backlog. Here's what's new in the gallery:

Thumbs up, but barely.

First mistake: let Ron Howard direct.  I can just picture the conversation between Dan Brown and his agent:

Agent: "Great news Dan, I got Ron Howard as the director!"
Dan Brown: "Wow, I can't believe it!  How exciting!"

Freeloader.  It's available via Synaptic.  Nice GUI, shows all downloads in a single window, handles regular downloads in addition to torrents, has all the features you need (such as the ability to throttle upload speeds), and isn't a resource hog.  Also, it will minimize to an icon in the menu bar.

Of course, I would only use it for legal downloads.  Unlike most public P2P networks, the bit torrent network has been used by companies for a lot of legal downloads.  I downloaded my Ubuntu installation CD's via bit torrent.

It's maddening how the simplest multimedia tasks become difficult in Linux.  Although to be fair, I had a lot of trouble playing DVD's in Windoze too.  In fact, really, I think I managed to get DVD's playing in Linux with a lot less effort than it took me with Windoze.

I've never really known what the difference was between Hispanic and Latino.  Given how sensitive racial sensibilities are in the modern world, I felt bad going around using one term if the other one was really appropriate.  For some strange reason, I don't have any friends who are Latino or Hispanic so I wasn't able to ask (and I never felt comfortable walking up to a stranger to ask).  That's where good ol' Wikipedia comes to the rescue:
