sprinkle salt on it...

Ahhh. I installed gvim on the Windows 2000 partition on my laptop. It's nice to use.
You might wonder why I even have a Win2k partition on my laptop. Well, it comes down to this: Sony VAIO is a PITA to get PCMCIA working, so my wireless network card doesn't work in Linux.
But I've been spending some time making Win2k bearable while also trying to figure out how to get the PCMCIA stuff working right in Linux. I've installed Cygwin and XFree86 along with it. I got Putty, WinSCP, OpenOffice 1.1, and Mozilla Firebird installed so I can get all my work done without using “evil” software.
I also installed Micros^%@#$&*’s TweakUI tool so that I don't have to click on a window to bring it to focus. I can just move the mouse cursor over the window to focus on it. That's how I like it to work in Linux and it's a pain for me to switch back and forth otherwise.
Spam as entertainment
My buddy Chadd got some hilarious spam today and shared it with me. It seems to be the result of entepreneurial optimism, poor judgement, and poor english.

More on this Iowa thing
I ordered a couple laptop batteries for this Iowa trip. They should be here tomorrow. Then I’ll have a mobile computing device instead of a portable AC-powered computing device. :-)
I’ll be teaching GuruLab’s “Enterprise System Administration” course. I’d say I’m very comfortable with 95% of the topics I’ll be covering, so I’ve got to brush up on the other 5% so I can give a good presentation.
