A few drops of rain and the lawn is saved for another week. Couldn’t have come at a better time, I was just on my way to haul out the sprinklers (again). In in the case of gardening as well as pretty much everything it is probably best to just lay back and let nature do its thing. Shallow roots = a gardeners nightmare.
It has been alot of gardening today as you might have guessed. I kind of like the serenity of it, especially when you are home alone and free to pursue any direction the work might take. Doing gardening for others is however something I would never recommend.
The « audio » and « dvd » (under the media section) archives have been updated. The first order from DVDSoon worked out fine thankfully. But then again they were a little naughty with the declaration on the package

Found this extremely cool gadget from Trust. Looks like a Star Trek phaser but is really a wireless trackball with a nifty trigger finger button. Maybe a contender in the how-to-best-control-the-HTPC competition? Waaaay too expensive in Sweden however. Less than half the the price if you import from the Uk for example. Just another proof that Sweden is a half baked communistic scum sucking hell hole.
What else is brewing in the wee hours of the night? Well, it seems there will be both an Alien vs. Predator and a Return to Castle Wolfenstein movie in the near future. Yuck! This can’t be good. Especially for people who were expecting the Alien saga to be put back on track with a fifth movie by (presumably) Ridley Scott (again).
Also, ATi is unveiling it’s next generation of graphics cards. Probably something called R250 (= Radeon9000). It is unlikely that this early product could take advantage of the complete set of DX9 features.
And on top of this we have the patent problems with OpenGL and Microsoft. Lets show those open source nitwits, eh. Being a long time user of Matrox graphics cards, I’ve never liked OpenGL anyway 
Microsoft should also release a new version of Windows Media Player (v9 Corona) any day now. It is big news since this will probably be the technology that powers the development of handheld media solutions for the immediate future. Like it or not …
