“Cameron has never been in love — at least, nobody’s ever been in love with him. If things don’t change for him, he’s gonna marry the first girl he lays, and she’s gonna treat him like shit, because she will have given him what he has built up in his mind as the end-all, be-all of human existence. She won’t respect him, ’cause you can’t respect somebody who kisses your ass. It just doesn’t work.”

- I think George W. Bush and his administration will find something somewhere which will give justification to sending our troops to war in Iraq. He needs to save face to the Allies and to many of the folks who were initially against war, but were later persuaded to support the effort.
- The new server at home has been named, in keeping with my tradition of using planets, Marklar. So far all Samba file shares have been moved and are working perfectly. I installed Apache 2, MySQL 4, and PHP 4 last night, but those won’t go into heavy use until much later: whenever I decide to work on PHP projects again. Next on the list is to get e-mail and user accounts moved. Beyond that, I will need to go through Jupiter (the old server) and inventory the remains.
- This whole “Apple considering buying Universal Music” thing is pretty interesting. I sincerely hope it is true and that Apple does become the new owner. I think Apple would be much friendlier to online music swapping.
- As per MNS’s earlier diary entry, I have concluded that Purdue University (his alma mater), the Georgia Institute of Technology, MIT and others must be destroyed, for they breed terrorists. Beware! You all have been warned! Do not allow your children to attend such schools and study engineering and/or science, for they will surely become narrow-minded twits … or terrorists. Make them study the liberal arts!
That is all for now.
