Yeah, it's been a while, but I'm still alive and kicking.
My mom found a Black Racer snake
yesterday in our driveway. Unfortunatly they move way too quickly to get a picture of, so it was gone by the time I got out there.
She said it was about 5 feet long, which is about average. Luckly they're not poisonous, but apparently they do like to
bite.
I also saw Pirates of the Caribbean
last night, and it was REALLY good. Probably the best movie I've seen this summer, well except for maybe Matrix Reloaded, but
I have a feeling this will generally be much more well liked generally. In movies not to see, I got a chance to see a
sneak preview for Mandy Moore's latest film, How To Deal, and while it wasn't "bad" per se, there wasn't really anything
good about it either. Plus it features my number one movie pet peeve: Girls who fall for the bad guy. Go see PotC instead.
I don't think I've mentioned it yet, but Mozilla 1.4 was released while
I was on vacation. If you haven't tried this browser yet, you're really missing out. If automatic pop-up blocking
(I forget how much there is whenever I use IE), tabbed browsing, and theming aren't enough, then knowing you're helping
keep the web from becoming completely overrun with IE and supporting one of the premier open source projects
makes it all worth while.
And speaking of great software, it was a little over 4 years ago that I started running
SETI@Home, which uses your spare CPU cycles to
analyze data from space for signs of intelligent life. Sure it sounds hokey, but just imagine the ramifications
if we find intelligent life somewhere else. Check it out and download it, humanity might thank you someday.
