if you happen to be one of my students and can't follow directions, but managed to spell my last name correctly while looking for your online classroom (and probably your assignments at the last possible minute), then you'll need to go to the link below:

...but this doesn't always make it out the way I forsee it.
Sometimes it's just a matter of jumping in feet first and making something interesting. Not that I'm of any interest to anyone other than myself. :-) Can I be evil for a moment? Feel bad for spending money and overhead for advertising, coding, and security setbacks. Yes, your Operating System could have been stable, but nooooo.... there had to be crux put in. Don't get me wrong. i think it's beautiful, but it's like Jessica Simpson: really good to look at, but a little slow.
After buying a new laptop for Xiom, I immediately put it in a shootout with my favorite machine in the world: Lappy. Lappy is an IBM Thinkpad 600, circa 1999. She's a screaming 500Mhz (I wish I could say "Front Side Bus with that, but sadly, no) machine with 320-some odd number MB RAM running ZenWalk Linux. Now, I had come by this laptop rather serendipitously at a closeout sale, so I had only recently installed ZenWalk Linux onto the IBM as a replacement for Agnula (Debian) to see if I could garnish a little more speed out of the old little bugger and I wanted to get a little more into the guts of Linux. ZenWalk would force me to to do that with the tradeoff being a more responsive system (this was the plan).
Well, the results are a bit embarassing, and I knew that noone would believe me, so I made a video.
