I seem to have forgotten my Advogato Passphrase. hope the cookie doesnt expire.

The whole CSS thing makes me a little angry, if only the MPAA would see, that most people *just* want to watch DVD's in their OS of choice...

It would be cool if Sigma Designs released specs or *something* on the H+. I'd be happy then.

Long, loooong weekend..

I've decided to try and save some pennies to get a copy of K&R.

Anyway, learning lots about microprogramming, and instruction sets. hopefully I'll be able to grok assembly language at the end of it.

Back to the grind. finish that Delphi assignment. Ick.
