Why I replaced XP with Win2k on my Notebook

No, I haven't gone to the dark side. You see, I have more than one ThinkPad. Three to be exact. And a TiBook. But that's not the point. And it's a long story, so don't ask.

One ThinkPad runs Windows. That's it's job. It came with XP but I was fed up with it a long time ago. I wasted a long time replacing it with Win2k. It now runs semi-well--not that I use it that often. Maybe that'll help extend its half-life.

What half-life? I'll let Mark explain what the half-life is about and how much fun he had with Windows XP.

Naps

I've recently become reacquainted with the benefits (to my personal sanity) of occasional naps. Like from 6-8pm (or so) on weekends.

Too bad I can't fit a small bed or couch into my cube at work.

There are some really comfortable couches in the nearby breakroom.

Hmm...

My Blog Images Broken in NNW?

Someone reported an odd problem. Apparently using NNW, images from my blog aren't showing up in my RSS 2.0 full-post feed. I've looked at the XML and HTML and it looks kosher to me.

Anyone else seen this problem and know what's up? I'm happy to fix it if I know what to fix.

Interesting Tidbits

Here's some stuff of interest I've run across recently:

• The defective yeti talks about The Armchair Economist and Steven Landsburg's Slate Columns
• On K5 there's a discussion around an article titled Six degrees of separation or unification? that talks about Friendster, networks of people, and so on.
• Dan Gilmor on VoIP services and how he's saving money on long distance calls.
• I had forgotten how beautiful the drive from San Francisco to the South Bay on I-280 is in the Summertime. Highly recommended.
