Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been incredibly busy the past few
days.
Saturday I went to the Gatornationals drag racing competition. If
you've never been to a real drag race, then you are missing out on quite an
experiance. The noise that those machines make is so unbelieably loud. The
stands literaly shake from the sound of them, and your head rattles around from
the sheer volume of the engines. Earplugs are a definite must for the top fuel
cars which run on nitromethoyl. They reach speeds of up to 325 MPH in a quarter
mile, and the entire thing only lasts about 4.6 seconds. There's a lot of
incredible engineering that goes into doing something like that.
Secondly, all of today and yesterday I've been fighting with Linux. Sunday my
CD-Rom was corrupted or something because it gave me errors on installation.
Finally I got it installed today, and now I have configuration errors. My sound
doesn't work, the fonts are incredibly screwed up (I can barely read what I"m
writing at the moment in Quanta), and I'm having trouble with my email. If
you've sent me antyhing in the past few days, I'd resend it because I might have
missed it.
