Getting ready to take the plunge and install the XP SP2 release candidate. Hopefully it won't hose up my computer too bad. I will install it on this machine before I attempt to put it on my web server. Need to see what kind of changes it makes adding in the new security center stuff. The download itself was a couple hundred megs. Will post more here on it later.

I upgraded my cellphone a few weeks ago to an LG VX6000. Very cool. I am testing out some stuff with it currently. Got a USB cable and loaded the drivers. I can somewhat sync stuff from Outlook now, as well as create my own rings using actual mp3's. The quality isn't half bad. Will have to keep messing with it, but this is pretty fun.

I am trying to get my wap pages working so that I can access my HA stuff over my phone, but apparently Verizon blocks all ports except for 80, which sucks, as I run this server on 80. I have tried a shitload of other ports, and the only other one that might be accessible is 443, but I cannot seem to diable SSL in IIS under Windows XP. Will have to keep looking for the solution. I have been beating my head against the wall trying to get it to work.

Damn, woke up this morning and my router has been locked up most of the night. Had to cut the power and turn it back on. Hope it's not time for a new one. I think I have had this one a bit less than a year, don't remember off the top of my head right now.

Make sure to update your anti-virus software.

The 2004 Guiolympics has begun, and basically won't end for two months. Anyone interested in checking it out can do so here.

I will probably be entering at least one or two skins. I will post screenshots here as they are finished.
