I left my machine on while I was away from home, as it is now serving some shared files as servers are moved around. I came home to a blue screen and the “your machine isn’t fully ACPI compliant” message I’ve seen before. Must be a recent patch or new software – ZoneAlarm? and McAfee? come to mind. Hope it’s not time to reformat.
Today marks six months of blogging. A milestone at which to pause and reflect. I’m still at the amateur level of blogging. I’m not sure if this is a professional blog, with all it’s links to interesting articles and utilities, or a personal one about painting the house and going to the beach.

In corporations, innovation is driven by competition. AMD, the powerhouse for single-processor CPUs for a couple of years, has fallen behing the latest Pentium 4s, according to this article on Tom’s Hardware. Good. It will make everyone work harder to catch up.
According to news.com, Microsoft is getting a pass when the Bush administration reports on computer security.
Three windows primed for paint: 
Saturday. Great day working in the yard. Stripped, prepped and primed four windows along the street side of the house. These are the last of the house windows to get done. Three cellar windows remain and the trim will be – dare I say it? – done!
Cringley is at it again, with details here of his plan for a freely-distributable, GPL, compatible with any platform, TV for nerds series. With all this noveltie about the medium and its delivery format, I sure hope the content justifies the rumble.
