xfce-4.4 rocks!!!!

Posted by mcummings

Really, I think that sums it up best. Unmask it, install it, revel in it. All of the things I like about gnome, but with all the things I find lacking in metacity. Sweet :)

Oh yeah, and I still plan to blog, at some point, about how blogging != activity.

What to do with old floppies?

Posted by mcummings

Finally, what to do with my collection of worthless floppies without feeling like I've lost anything. A geek project anyone can handle :)

Make a Starship enterprise Out of a Floppy (thanks Matt!)

Old Long Past

Posted by mcummings

And for old long past, my joy (sweetheart),
For old long past,
We will take a cup of kindness yet,
For old long past,

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And days of old long past.

And surely you will pay for your pint-vessel!
And surely I will pay for mine!
And we will take a cup of kindness yet,
For old long past.

We two have run about the hillsides
And pulled the wild daisies fine;
But we have wandered many a weary foot
Since old long past.

We two have paddled in the stream,
From morning sun till noon;
But seas between us broad have roared
Since old long past.

And there is a hand, my trusty friend!
And give me a hand of yours!
And we will take a right good-will drink,
For old long past.

Happy New Year's everyone :)
