The east coast storms have settled and the Potomac is raging! Just check out the gauge below at Little Falls.

It was 8 ft yesterday and Dead Cow came in. Here’s a photo of a friend from a while back. Gonna ask my friend if he took any photos yesterday.

Happy Paddling

Well I have to admit, I am a Linux noob. I can’t get anything to work. I’ve been trying to install, use and get into the whole Linux scene for the last 3 years, and it is one of the most painful and frustrating experience. And this is coming from a guy who programs microcontrollers and device drivers. Using software should not be this hard!

WTF is with the .conf files. What era are we that Linux still uses this pathetic desktop environment (Xserver is a joke, at least the Linux implementation). The end result is that no one wants to use Linux. Heck I don’t want to use Linux, and I program for a living. This is completely f*cked up.

Anyways, I got a Portwell box a few months ago, and I never knew what to do with it. I think I’ll try to compile my own kernel and attempt to install it on the box – cause you know, it’s so freaking easy to use Linux.

I’m gonna go hit my head on the wall for a few more hours.
