Hello, all.

I think I'm finally going to take the plunge...

I've been using Uniz/Linux off and on for about 15 years now. I know my way around enough to troubleshoot the software that I implement professionally and do all sorts of odd things, but I've never made it my primary box. I've always fallen back on a Windows box for my general purpose web browsing and email.

Hi Everybody!

I have a Canon PowerShot S20. It is a nice 3+ megapixel camera. It has served me well. My Uncle recently upgraded, however, and gave me his Canon PowerShot S45, a much improved camera.

Here is the deal. I'd like to swap my S20 for a smaller form factor camera, something that I can carry in my pocket virtually all the time. I'm willing to sacrifice resolution.

Anyone interested?

Thanks,
Mike

Check out the replies to eglamkowski's recent journal entry Exploding Kibo! I can confirm through independent means that Actual Kibo is indeed the actual Kibo!

If you know who Kibo is, then congratulations. You were probably on the net before the dawn of perpetual September!

I just saw this http://www.theworldforum.org/story/2005/3/23/62312/6533 story about Bobby Fischer. The story was written by a Canadian who also posted this editorial comment:

I've always thought it a travesty that Bobby Fisher had to go into hiding just because he wanted to play chess in a tournament held, unfortunately, in Yugoslavia during the UN embargo.

I need an online fax service for light use. I was wondering if anyone here had experiences and opinions.

Hello, all. I think some of you have done similar things, so I'm asking here rather than combing through the net.

Next weekend I'm driving from New York to Orlando, Florida. In order to keep my two-year-old entertained, we borrowed a portable DVD player.

My son Joe, 21 months old, loves the vacuum. I don't know why, but he does. So my wife found a toy wet/dry vac at Toys 'R Us. If is one of his favorite Christmas presents.

It is pretty cheaply made, however. Late Christmas day it stopped working. I changed the batteries but that didn't help.

The "anybody but Bush" (hence the abB)crowd makes about as much sense as the "Clinton murdered Vince Foster" crowd.

In true Stalin fashion, it is time for a purge!

I'm dropping people from my friends list. No, I don't consider you an enemy. I use my friends list to track journals I want to read. Either you don't write a journal very often or I'm not interested in what you have to write about.

Off to the gulag archipelago with you!

This little article is priceless!

Attention, public: mothers must be judged as much as possible. Here's how.

"That's not tuna you're eating, is it? Did you know that tuna is composed entirely of mercury? Um, so, do you care about your unborn child?"

Back in late February, I was hired by a Silicon Valley startup to do "Professional Services" for their clients in and around Manhattan. My official office was to be a spare room in my house, and I would be spending at least 50% of my time at client sites. Without regular access to a landline, I was going to need a reliable cell phone.

In my previous journal I discussed my plans to buy an aquarium for my son's first birthday. I requested some advice from the slashdot community. I'm very grateful for all the information I recieved. Here is an update.

IIRC, someone in our circle keeps fish as a hobby. I need some advice on getting an aquarium for my son's first birthday. (He loves looking at fish.)

As a youngster I kept fish myself. I had several tanks in 10-20-30 gallon sizes, so I have some idea what I'm doing. But it has been almost 20 years.

My first question is this - I've never kept a salt water aquarium. How is it different than keeping a fresh water aquarium?
