been a while... a lot has happened lately...

turned 27 last last week (17th)... a milestone age perhaps... home cooked spaghetti and cake was rather delicious... the best tasting cake courtesy of my officemates... i got two adorable kids, an insanely cute baby boy and a little girl that never fails to test my patience, makes me laugh, all at the same time... a rather patient and equally beautiful wife makes life worth living as well...

got a new 2.5" hdisk... tried ubuntu (a rather up to date debian distro, will tinker with it some other day)... tried suse (rpm hell)... tried freebsd (acpi troubles remain, will wait for stable)... went back to gentoo (spent the entire weekend compiling)...

gnome 2.8 rocks! if your video card doesnt support DRI, you should turn off xcomposite extensions as gnome 2.8 has composite support enabled by default and will make your desktop rather sluggish.. garret's industrial firefox theme is really sweet... after pimping my desktop, i googled to finally put an end to firefox crashing everytime i load a flash enabled site... turns out you have to adjust your xorg to support at least 24bpp....
