I am, at most, a casual fan of baseball. I am also, a casual fan of the Tour de France. I don't obsessively follow either, but when I'm able I'll turn on the game. I want my favorites to win, and I want the rivals to lose. I can't quote stats, and without looking I can't ...

The other "curse" is broken. Next year it's our turn. All we need is a bull-pen that can close a game and an offense that plays like it wants to be in the Series. Or maybe the Bambino needs to go kick the crap out of that damn goat. Seriously. You would think the players would ...

Now who do I root for? Growing up in central Illinois, the big rivalry was always Cubs/Cardinals. My mother's family, being from Chicago, was firmly in the Cubs camp.

Some people are real fans... some are not. I'd like to thank one of the real ones. Watching the Cubs game this evening, we saw a guy catch a foul ball. He then held the ball up while the person he was with took his picture. This is, of course, standard proceedure when catching a foul ...

So, I got the machine up and running with Kernel 2.6.3 and Debian testing working well. I'll start trying to get apache and such all set up later. Also, the Cubs insist on toying with my emotions. But we pulled it out and are back at 5 over .500 So, I'm off to bed. Geeze.
