This post is not about Britney Spears.
My dang monitor went out this morning. Technically, it went out at some point - last night, this morning, whenever, but I just discovered it wasn't working this morning. Luckily, I have two other monitors.
So I hooked one up and discovered that it doesn't work exactly the way it should... the screen just showed some kind of scrunched-up static. I tried fiddling with knobs and things without luck, so I got the other one. Knock wood, it's working very well. This monitor has a fantastic, clear, crisp picture... it's just that it's only on a convex (or is it concave?), 12" screen...
But at least I had one I could use! It was hooked to an old computer on which I have been trying to get Linux to take for months now. I really have to sit down and spend some time pruning unnecessary files and programs so that it will fit on there. I know that's the problem - at least I hope it is. The damned thing may just be too old to take Linux. I don't know; I thought Linux was supposed to work on like a coke can linked to a 9-volt battery and compact mirror?
Anyhoo, I said yesterday that I was going to get to some of these stories I found in the Bookmarks and so forth, and I will. I expected a few press releases, but nothing so far. I did get my comics for the past couple months today, though - I'll get that post out in just a few.
