So far so good with Fedora Core 4. It's been the least hassle free of all my OS upgrades, the only snag coming in that the software updater kept crashing on me for some reason after downloading a few software packages. It's been nice to see how much has improved in the last year or so, with Evolution getting better spam filtering, and the wireless drivers becoming far easier to install. Now if only I could get a decent internet connection in my apartment... you'd think with the amount of money I pay to live here I could get reliable internet, but you'd think wrong. It's always the DNS servers going down for some reason, I can connect well enough using IP's but that's pretty much useless in the world today. Might have worked back in the 70's before domain names even existed, but no so much anymore.
This weekend was homecoming, and Friday was Gator Growl, our yearly homecoming pep-rally which is billed as the largest student run pep-rally in the world. There's always fireworks afterwards, and since I finally had a digital camera I could take some pictures of them:
Fireworks before the smoke gets in the way
Red Fireworks
Near the finale
I forgot about the giant squid story that I was going to post about in the last update. Giant squid!
Apparently the record industry thinks it should be paid if someone searches for Madonna. It just keeps getting crazier and crazier. All I want is my $5 CD and I'll be very happy.
