I use only a few things right now:

Agent [newsgroups]
Starcraft [starcraft]
Mozilla [web,email]
MATLAB [hurr]
Winamp [i wuv my music]

I don't use my cracking toys much anymore, and most of them are
linux-ported anyway. MATLAB has a linux version, and anything else I
can run through WINE or VMWare. Hmm.

I have a crapload of analysis homework due monday morning. Why not
burn it to a CD and install!?

Furthermore, at the moment both Relf and I have entirely zero say in
matters of any real complexity. His opinion does not matter and im not
at the point where my opinion would count.

Relf is beyond reason.

He is an idiot. He cannot grasp the subtelties of newsgroup ettiquite,
so I don't except him to come to terms with the differences between
windows and any particular flavor of linux.

I pick my battles. I won't waste time arguing with relf, but I will
waste much time arguing with a vapid *** of an RA who has a problem
with how high my roomates bed is stacked! *grr* If I get the urge to
unkillfile relf again, I will go bash my head against Symon's
Mechanics book for awhile to get the thought out of my head.

The less sleep I have, the more wordy I become.
