Welcome to Friday!

Nice to see Fridays come here. I've been tracking a lot of the new packages in the Familiar Linux pre5 release lately and things are looking very interesting there. There is a nice new package management tool for ipkg called pikpaq I believe and the dillo web browser is looking really good. Check out handhelds.org for more details.

I ended up spending a lot of hours on a rather critical task and just when I thought I had it finished up, ended up having to stay up to recompile X from CVS sources. Painful and long compile.

There have been a lot of interesting stories on slashdot lately. I usually read /. only about once a week and I found myself checking it out quite a bit more frequently with some of the recent stories there.

I have not been able to do one thing I wanted. I really wanted to start playing a lot of the Loki games i have loaded on one of my systems and I just did not have the time. Anyways, also wanted to say "hello" to ianmacd. Hope things are going well for you!

Somewhat of an update; but could not resist. Hey paci! Welcome back. Welcome to Prosa and to its guiding principles. I wish you all the very best of luck and good fortune! Perhaps catch up with some of the folks on OPN sometime. I see a few there on occasion.
