Not Much NewsFebruary 26th 2001
So I've been quiet for a few days...shoot me ;) I've been very uninteresting for a while. No new hardware, no new toys, not much of anything. Well, not quite true. Actually I have a few things to report, and since I'm on day ungodly of not sleeping, I'll have time to write it all out in detail. So get ready for a long post.

Six Mile BridgeFebruary 26th 2001
A week or so ago, I saw Six Mile Bridge in concert. They are one of my favorite "Celtic Rock" bands. This will be the third time I've seen them, and this was one of the best so far. Good crowd, good energy, (not to mention the new mandolin player is kinda cute ;). If you like your irish with a little rock and roll, give them a try. It's worth it :)

KVLP: all Vulpine, all the TimeFebruary 26th 2001
Ok, no I haven't opened up my own radio station yet. But I am starting to play with IceCast a little. In the mean time, I uploaded a few mp3's and a playlist for your listening pleasure. Go to http://cyberfox.org/KVLP/BoredFoxMix.m3u and give it a listen. A little bit of everything, and most of it weird ;) I'll let you know when I change or update things. Eventually it'll have it's own domain name, but that's when I have $$$.

ComicsFebruary 26th 2001
Well, Needo, Dano, DevNull (of no real website) and myself decided to start an online comic strip. I can't tell you much about it, other than it will have a grand amount of humor and sillyness (hey, if I'm contribing to it, it's going to have to.) As more is determined, I'll let ya know :)

Seti@CyberfoxFebruary 26th 2001
Well as of 6am, CST on Feb 26th, I have processed some 2793 packets of data. That's 5+ years of CPU time. Which puts me in top .502 % of users. Woohoo for me :) I also ended up switching from Team Userfriendly to Team Blue Oyster Cult. Seemed a little more appropriate for a search for E.T.I. (that and I'm rank 7 on Team BOC ;). So here's to my new pack of Alien Hunters

And they say Love is Dead...February 26th 2001
Here's a good reason to avoid finding love online...boy, makes my stories seem tame all in all.

Oh My Gods ! He Finally Did It !!!February 26th 2001
I'm a long time fan of Mandrake (AKA Geoff Harrison, one of the co-creators of Enlightenment. And in the time I've been reading his website, he has talked about updating his website quite a few damn times. Never done it. So I checked his website today, and OH MY GOD !!! He updated it ALOT. He even included a list of his "Too Many Machines", which I have a sneaking suspicion is in response to an email of mine which said "What the fsck do you do with all those fscking machines ???!!!???" *grin* Thanks Mandrake, I like the new website :)

ScreenshotsFebruary 26th 2001
Well, one thing I've kept up on is screenshots...in fact I've done 4 of them since the last update. So here they go...

  • 02-20-2001
      Ok...showing off my Sourceforge page. No, I don't do much on SF, someday though. Also watching Futurama via MTVP which is a nice little program for mpeg watching.
  • 02-21-2001
      Mandrake's old page, plus Babyon 5 running under MTVP again. Plus a cute blonde from the Roswell TV show, and a peek into my .procmailrc file. Death to SPAM !!!!
  • 02-23-2001
      Ok, this one has Raster's website on the ol' netscape, showing off some of the new e17 stuff. It looks rather snazzy. xmms and the first KVLP playlist, plus fun trying to get Xine working. But it's worth it, as you will see in the next screenshot.
  • 02-26-2001
      Last but not least, a retro wallpaper, my favorite Discordian shot. Along with UserFriendly in netscape, the Goddess Tara in Electric Eyes, and the end result of my strugle with Xine...got Katie Holmes from her recent SNL showing doing a very nice dance on stage (and on my monitor) :) Life is good with such beauties in the world.

Screenshot and BitchX is my FriendFebruary 15th 2001
Well I got bored, and decided to play around with BitchX. I've now got it set and running with some new features. Multiple hidden windows, each one in a seperate channel. Kinda cool. Kinda useless, but still kinda cool. And along with BitchX boredom, I changed my wallpaper around. Take a look at the Screenshot here. My usual stuff, but instead of Tara, we have Katherine Heigl as background. You'll remember her from yesterday's news...cute chick from the Roswell tv show and Valentine fame. Well I snagged this background from Katherine-heigl.com . What can I say, she's cute...though the purple is a little odd. Oh well, so am I. *laugh* I like how this looks, though I'll probably change things again in 24-48 hours. Blondes are nice, but I prefer redheads. :)

P.S. The webpage in the screenshot is a live view from the Transamerica building in my favorite city, San Francisco. If you can't make out the URL in the screenshot, it's http://www.sfgate.com/liveviews/. *grin* Ahh the fun of SanFran, boy would I love to live there...maybe someday. :)

Happy Fsckin' Valentine's DayFebruary 14th 2001
Bah Humbug ! If you can't tell, I do not like this day. Not at all. Doesn't help that I'm single on this day designed to make us single people want to kill someone. Funny how listening to endless commercials saying we need to buy diamonds/chocolate/lemmings for our significant others can make one a touch bitter. *laugh* On the plus side, I spent exactly $11.25 today, all on myself. Hey, I'm a cheap date. I went with Needo, fellow single cynic and proud founder of the DFWUFies Omega Males to see Valentine. Your basic slasher flick, cute girls die because they picked on the nerd in Jr High. As a ex junior high nerd, I can see the appeal in this movie. Not to mention the cute girls. I give it two paws up...except for the fact that the cutest one died in the first scene. That would be the character played by Katherine Heigl of Roswell fame. Oh well...can't have everything.

No news is well...no news.February 11th 2001
Well I haven't dropped off the face of the planet. Just been dealing with a bad set of mood swings, lack of a job, and general pissyness. Not much to report. Got a new screenshot up. Nothing major, just a return to the Goddess Tara, and me screwing around on IRC.

DFWUfies IRCFebruary 11th 2001
As I said, I've been screwing around more on IRC. Due to a small flurry of silly posts...which just happened to kill a few mail spools...oops. Well, the DFWUfies admin, and all around good guy Needo setup a IRC server. So join irc.dfwufies.org and come on in to #dfwufies. :) Or #cyberfox, if I ever start it ;)

HannibalFebruary 11th 2001
Went and saw Hannibal on Friday. Now that was a flipped out movie. I liked it, even if it was a little confusing. Gory in spots, but it fit the plot quite well. The new actress playing Agent Starling was nice to look at, and I think she fit the role better than Jody Foster. Hey what can I say, I like redheads. :) I would like to read the book now. Vulpine gives it two paws up.
