There are currently a few fire trucks, police cars, and a helicopter outside my apartment right now. Not sure what’s going on, but it can’t be good… I’ll post more if/when I find out what the hubub is about. Update: It appears that the abandoned hospital next to my building is on fire. There’s some smoke coming out of some upper floor windows, and at least a couple firefighters are crawling around, as evidenced by the blue lights hovering inside.

My 3-year-old laptop, until yesterday, was still running the pre-installed version of Windows XP. After years of upgrades, driver changes, codec updates, and so on, it was getting somewhat crufty. I decided: enough is enough, time to reinstall! Since I was formatting everything anyway, I figured it might be time to attempt installing Ubuntu on a laptop. It didn’t go so well. While Ubuntu itself installed with little effort, things started going badly when I tried getting my wireless card to work.

I’ve finally posted some videos I took of myself playing DDR, and a bonus of Ryan totally pwning the machine at Miller Time Bowling. For those who haven’t seen me play in a while, yes I’m a lot better than you remember, and no I’m still not at my desired skill level. Until Tomorrow

Ryan C., why oh why must you explain how sucky my car really is? Through the “Ditch My Car” adventure, I’ve done some research and found that the 3G Mitsubishi Eclipse GT has some design flaws, regardless of the build-quality. Here are a few Ryan found: 1. Warped front rotors. Sadly, warped roters with low miles are common, if not expected. Many owners claim they must be replaced roughly every 10k miles.

You may have noticed that kildosphere has become… something else. I’ve retained a link that will forward visitors to this site, and after I develop a rudimentary management and display system, I’ll start working on content. I’ve already come up with a few pseudo-quotes to set the mood for a few chapters, so only time will tell how this goes. I’m not one for backwards compatibility, so while all the old content is here, anyone who had bookmarks will likely need to update them.
