Licks and Tickles
All in all, I had a pretty full day today...

I was up late last night hacking on the linux kernel. I was trying to get the ACPI patches working on my laptop. I was able to get it to turn the fan off, but could never get it to suspend. I finally went to bed around 4:30am, figuring it's not that important that I needed to pull an all-nighter.

Around 7:30, while enjoying my gentle slumber, I was rudely awoken by 75lbs of bouncing (and smelly) girl. Dali had jumped into the bed I was on and decided my face needed a serious cleaning. We wrestled for a few minutes, while my ears and face were given the most brutal licking I've ever faced!

Brutal licks aside, I understood I had no options. I *had* to get up.

I putzed around and checked on the systems for work. There had been some power failures yesterday around campus, but it looks like none of my stuff went down.

After my shower, I went ahead and joined the Sunday Geek Breakfast Crew over at The Atlanta Bread Company. I spent some time chatting with Craig about my recent fascination with Macs, and he did his best to convince me to buy one.

*sigh* -- I think I will just have to wait until next year..

After breakfast, I came back home for a bit. I touched up some of the photos I uploaded yesterday, then headed out for lunch with Josh. The day was gorgeous, so we decided to go for a small little ride.

After the ride, I convinced Josh to swing by the Harn Museum. There is an installation titled "Culture of Violence" which is about Americas fascination with violence, murder, and firearms.

I took photos until I was asked not too (whoops!). Some of them made it to my photo album. One interesting piece was a series of photos of places where acts of violence occured; KSU was one of the pictures. It should be in the album.

After the museum, I came home and decided to upload the pictures to the web-page. I then wrote the photo album cgi which I'll use for people to view all of the pictures online after they've rolled off the blog page. The album cgi is still a bit rough, but I think it's feature complete for my needs... If anyone wants it, they can have it.

Well, the dog needs some food. the cat needs a spankin', and the wife wants to chat, so I better take off.
