cabbitzillaA couple of tidbits to pass on:
Study: Sexual identity hard-wired by genetics
The medical community might just have to reexamine their 'superior male' mindset...
And Yahoo is again trying to quietly track everyone on the net:
Web Beacons
About halfway down the page is an 'Opt Out' button... it tracks via web browser rather than user, so -every- browser on -every- machine you use needs to go through the 'Opt Out' procedure if you want what's left of your privacy back.
Thus far, my luck with getting extraneous hardware to work with the G3 is abyssmal; with the sole exception of boosting the memory to 640megs of RAM, nothing else wants to cooperate. I -am- quite pleased with how well it runs with the boosted memory, though; my collection of anime music videos play quite nicely, and Mac OS X 10.2 seems to be a fairly durable and stable OS. On the whole, I'm quite happy with it.
Erk. Mistress? When you sent that DVD ROM drive to me? It had your Spy Game DVD in it. :p
Still no luck finding the scratch to put tire(s) on the car. Ideally, the solution would be to put -new- tires, two of them, on the wheel that's got the flat on it and on the spare wheel sitting in a box in my living room. Put the two new ones on the front, the best pair of the old three on the back, and the odd remainder in the trunk as a full-sized spare. Unfortunately, that's gonna cost around $150, and I just don't have it. *soft sigh* I hate the little 3/4 size 'emergency' spares... makes me feel like I've got an old skateboard stuck under one wheel...
Anyway, that's the nuts and bolts. My mental/emotional state is cloudy and dark, and I really don't have the strength to go into it. There're too many things that need doing, that need -money- for doing, and too damned little money...
