Everything I used to bore people on newsgroups and mailing lists with, now in one inconvenient place.
Screen grab from a Garmin GPS dealer.
The price has been marked down from $799.99 to $799.00. Well, I couldn’t afford it before, but now…
(Note: This is not a hint. This is the not the GPS I want anybody buying me for Christmas. If I were in the market for a new GPS, it would be the Garmin 296. Thank you.)
I took out the RAM on my Powerbook and reseated it, and now I can pick up my laptop by the edges without it going “bong” and rebooting. Yesterday I couldn’t do that.
Horray! My laptop works!
Oh wait, now I don’t have an excuse to buy that 17″ Powerbook that I’ve been drooling over for 2 years. Damn.
My laptop was on when I pushed it aside to watch a TV show. I picked it up after the show, and it made that “bong” noise that it makes when it’s booting. And then 3 seconds later it made it again. And continued to make it as odd intervals, for about 20 more times before it eventually booted.
I’m backing everything up right now. I’m also checking out the prices for new Powerbooks.
Seen on a mailing list for Linux users:

A friend of mine once said “If your VCR is flashing 12:00, you probably shouldn’t be running Linux.”
I really love our new Humax TiVo with the built in DVD burner. Especially since it’s on the TV that gets HBO.
<aside>
The only thing I don’t like about it are those sucky “peanut” remotes that all TiVos except the Sony SVR-2000s have – the button placement sucks, and it’s too easy to pick it up the wrong way wrong and point the wrong end at the TiVo.
