I've owned 3 of the products in that list. I thought my Zip drive was really cool when I got it during high school. It lasted a couple years, until it started clicking when I was in college. The clicking got worse, and eventually it could not write without going into a clicking fit. It destroyed most of my 15 or so zip disks, and I think I spread the click of death to some of the campus lab computers.

A few years later, I bought a 75GXP deskstar hard drive, the 60GB version. It died in less than a year. I still have another one of those that is still working.

I also used comet cursor, but I don't recall having any problems with it.

Journal Journal: PHP

I haven't written in this journal in a while, and I can't tell if anyone ever reads it. There should be some option to display the number of times it was viewed.

Anyway, for the past year or so I have been into PHP and MySQL a lot. Over that time I have been developing my website, sproutworks.com. I like to think of its approxamately 13,000 lines of PHP code as yet another content management system that is in development.

Journal Journal: damn yahoo

Man Yahoo Messenger sucks in some ways. There are so many ways for people to crash each other's client app. If you go to a room and someone doesn't like you, then they can crash your client at will. Someone should write a new booter program that would spider the list of chat rooms, and send boot codes to everyone. Then when everyone on chat goes offline at once, maybe Yahoo would actually fix all the vulnerabilities in their client. I want to be chatting in a room right now, but some asshole

Journal Journal: plasma

I modified my plasma routine to use pixel quadrupling, so it'll run okay on my palm m505. I intend to put it in interesting places in SproutPaint. One problem is that it really needs adaptive color palettes to look cool, and my paint program is using the standard color palette. When I add a 16 bit paint mode, this wont matter, and I can have lots of fun coming up with alpha blending and other cool fx that would suck trying to code using palettes.
