so what the hell have i been doing lately?
Last Monday, i went to the Solaris 10 launch with my ex-partner in crime Tchie at the Tech Museum of Innovation. Solaris 10 looks really good, especially compared to its predecessors; Sun claims you'll see a 20% increase in performance just by upgrading from 8 to 10. Scott McNealy has really aged in the last few years; he looked a little hunched, even.
I've spent the last few days on jury duty call (found out this morning i was off scot free for a year, yay), so i threw my energy into cleaning the house and office, as well as tackling the huge amount of unfolded laundry in our room. As a result of that, i called for the Great T-Shirt Cull of `04; verdict: one and a half grocery bags of T-shirts were consigned to oblivion (including my totally rad netrek shirt *sniff*). It's not so bad; i just had to make space for new T-shirts (like mjg59's excellent "ESR STOLE MY CULTURAL HERITAGE").
Also, thanks to solipsistnation's alert, i picked up my copy of the Limited Edition of Sid Meier's Pirates!. So i might be busy this long weekend when i'm not eating.
