The Cat's Revenge

Well I guess I should have left the shades up.  Virgil is now lying partially on my keyboard making it *damn* hard to type (he's basically on my left wrist).  Sigh.  Glare is much reduced though.

Guilt and Your Cats

Am I the only one out there who is this much of a sucker for his cats?  One of my two cats, Virgil, has his primary sleeping area in my office room on a trunk just under the window.  Everyday he basks in the sunlight showing all the signs of "happy cat".  Now on particularly bright sunny days there is so much glare that I have to pull the shades down.  Today when I did that I felt tremendously guilty about denying him sunlight.  But if I don't work then who buys the catfood?  Him? (actually it is a gender challenged girl but let's just leave that one alone).

Wanted: Low Memory Linux Distro for Serving MP3s

I got an interesting IM from a reader with a spare laptop with a 40 gb drive, a CD-ROM, ethernet but only 16 megs of ram.  He wants to convert it to a file server to store MP3s.  Anyone out there know what type of Linux distro can run in only 16 megs?

Note: Network card is a cardbus, D-Link DE220; Thinkpad 380D, Pentium 150.
