I’m having account issues with my hosting / domain registration company, and I may be switching servers soon, so my blog (and websites!) may be offline in the near future. Just letting you all know! And a transcript for those of you who also host with Dreamhost (and I know there’s a few of you) follows…
This is just a quick post, but many of you know I broke my Apple Powerbook 15″ laptop a few months back. It has been serving me well as a desktop, but I really need a laptop. Last night there was one of those special fire sales…
Dude, I’m getting a Dell.
This makes me a Switcher, or as some would have it, a reverse-switcher. However, I’m not planning on using Windows, I’m planning on using Linux.
I got it at $700 off, so it really was a one-time deal. That’s about all for now, more when I get it. Feel free to discuss my impropriety in the Comments.

Unfortunately this article doesn’t mention that Linksys did stop selling this unit. They sell a different unit (which does not run Linux) under the same name, and took the Linux version and renamed it the WRT54GL (the L is for Linux… GET IT?!?) and added $15 to the price. Because of this stupid maneuver I have to ship the one I bought back, and get the new one. Grrr. Hopefully the new firmware is as good as people say, because the WRT54G v5 that I bought (without Linux, with VxWorks) crashed every 4 hours for no reason.
