Well, last night I helped one of my friends install the universal operating system on his new Sun Blade 100. .After unsuccessfully trying to convince OpenFirmware to boot from the floppy, we netbooted it from the woody tftpboot.img, which worked flawlessly. Unfortunately, X didn't want to run. Regardless, at $1100 US for machine + 17in monitor + shipping, they seem like quite a deal. Having a real 64 bit machine would be nice.

During the installation, we played Armagetron. If you're looking for a cool, Free game to play, definitely check this one out. It's even networkable!

My Tae Kwon Do instructor gave me a green belt, which was very gratifying. I hope to work hard over the summer to earn my black belt back. It is kind of fustrating to remember all the stuff that one could do before, but to have to relearn it all. Still, it's quite a satisfying feeling at the end of those two hours of class, knowing that I'm making progress.

Advogato is pretty cool. I've got to convince more of my local friends to join.
