Update:

Coloc ISP has fixed problems. Determined tech support, at least. That's good.

Still no job, and I guess I won't be getting that interview with Linuxcare. The IT worker tech shortage is a myth. The only shortage is of perl and java programmers. I really don't like perl. Guess I may have to dig into java.

Speaking of Linuxcare, I'm glad to see lilo back. Sorry about the job. Glad you found a silver lining...

NPR just reminded me that the planets are aligning today. The dawning of new age?.....
The reporter ended his story with: "Maybe we are spending too much time staring at screens, and too little staring up at the heavens..."

Maybe so.
