I spent the majority of my day playing Metroid Prime. I managed to obtain the X-Ray visor as well as the Plasma beam. The X-Ray visor is hard core. When wearing it, if Samus reaches up to cover her face, you can see her bones. As for the plasma beam, I truly enjoy watching space pirates burn. That rules.
In other hardware related news, I finally got my linux box online. I'm only using Linux 7.something though. According to Asa, 8.0 is really good. I'd love to try it out, but I don't want to buy it and it will take f o r e v e r to download the CD's. Anyone know anything about update an already installed version of Linux and how long it takes?
As an aside, on the off chance that my auto trackback pings your site Asa, and you end up coming here and reading this, if you'd like help getting your old template to work with MT, I'd be glad to help you out. Just email me a copy of an old page and your old CSS. It'll only take a little while.
