One of these days...spent most of yesterday migrating mail and such from one computer to a newer one, and trying to divine the mysteries of Blackberry configuration. Interesting device, but the small keypad is a PITA. Amazing what can be done with such a small form factor. When we get the holographic screens/keyboards, THEN we'll be rocking.... The storms were rather extensive, but not too damaging, thank heavens. Gadsden had some damage downtown, and there was hail in different places around the state up to 3" in diameter. I don't want any of THAT hitting ME. We were lucky around here, and the water table needs the rain, so it's all good for the moment. The wind yesterday was gusting like March on steroids, though. Going to be around here mainly today--finishing up a reinstall on a computer, cleaning up, hopefully trying out Kubuntu 8.04 Beta Alternate (now THERE'S a catchy name!) on a couple of machines. Have an older machine (1300 MHz Athlon) that I am thinking of making my "desktop" machine, and a newer one that I may try once again to turn into a Mythbox. Sooner or later I'll get it right....
