Ridiculous quote of the day, as seen on MSDN: "Microsoft® DirectX® 8.1 is your backstage pass to multimedia applications that sizzle."

I'm adding Netscape 4.x to the list of software titles that, for the love of all that is good in this world, simply will not die. This brings the list up to two, the other title being twm.

I mention this as I am currently doing some web design. Unfortunately, too many people still use Netscape 4.x for me simply to ignore it.

I recently discovered that my cable company only swaps out The Game Show Network to another channel for a small portion of the day. Therefore, I was just able to get my Press Your Luck fix. That, however, paled in comparision to the news I soon received...

On April 15th, the Game Show Network will be premiering a NEW Press Your Luck series by the name of "Whammy"!

First I hear about a Press Your Luck movie and now a new PYL series?! This is too much.

I've come to the conclusion that if atomic war ever eliminates the human race, the surviving cockroaches will be joined by twm.

Die you decrepit window manager, die!

According to weather.com, it's 12 degrees Fahrenheit outside. It's times like these that I miss Houston.

Supposedly Fox has put The Chamber on 'hiatus', which is essentially one step away from cancellation. Damn.
