Dan Gillmor has an article on Microsoft's coziness with the Department of Justice.  Every once in a while I think I should just bite the bullet and upgrade to XP; they're going to make me one day anyway.  Then I read stuff like this, and I'm perfectly happy with Windows 2000.  Hey, maybe I'll invest in a Mac. 7:09:08 PM     Russia unveils tourists' spaceship. "Russia presents the prototype of the world's first reusable space ship, designed to make space tourism widely accessible." [BBC News: world] 7:03:10 PM     I love technology.  The solution to all problems: shut down, reboot. First, there was the connectivity problem I've been having since the power outage this past weekend.  I even went out and bought a new network card in the hopes of fixing the problem; didn't work.  I had to call Comcast support, and the solution was to unplug the cable modem for about a minute, plug it back in, and hope it fixed the problem.  It did. Also, nitchie.com is now operational.  You can see a mirror of this weblog at http://www.nitchie.com/users/chris/weblog.  Initially, I had some problems upstreaming to the FTP server.  I kept getting "timeout" errors.  The solution was, you guessed it, shut down Radio and restart.  All was right with the world.  I'm still having minor issues; the images don't appear to be publishing yet, but I'll figure it out. Note that the above URL is not final; I set wheels in motion this evening to have the weblog running at http://chris.nitchie.com/weblog/.  Sorry for the inconvenience for your favorites and RSS feeds, but I promise this is the last time.  Don't update yet, wait for the final move. 12:40:17 AM
