DHL Acronym

So I looked on the DHL web site to figure out where my parcel was... I typed in the number, hit search and was rewarded with the following "current status" for my package:

"HSD Out for Delivery awaiting IOD"

World of Warcraft

Well, I finally gave in and got a WoW account. The evil game has taken control of me... it won't let me log off!

Damnit, just as I was gettin' over my Guild Wars addiction as well. *sigh* Oh well, never mind. If any of my real life friends are looking for me, I can be found in WoW.

New computer room

Vorax has moved into his new room. Sadly no longer a resident of the lounge, I'm surprised how quiet (maybe lonely??) the lounge now is.
Vorax has settled onto a shelf in the new computer room where he can whir and click to his hearts content without disturbing anyone.
I am thinking of starting a new "Silent server in the lounge project" to replace the original "Server in the lounge" project that Vorax was.

Installed Ion3

I have installed Ion3 on Vorax which allows me to make use of the system to browse the internet using only a keyboard. I'm currently typing this article using my keyboard from my armchair across the room whil the TV serves as a monitor for Vorax. Ion3 is running an instance of Firefox where I add this article to the site.

Ion is a nifty keyboard based window manager that allows you to do away with the mouse and still work in a X environment.

We have moved!

We have moved house! We're almost settled in, broadband is on and so I feel the need to post to Vorax.

Vorax is settled into his new home under the TV and I've rigged a VGA cable from Vorax to the TV to serve as a monitor (on the infrequent times it's used).
