Linux - Going to xfce

I run Debian amd64.  Lately, my favourite KDE desktop just went nuts, and kept crashing.  I did everything on the boards.  Nothing worked, and I went to ugly gnome.  Way too ugly, and I tried the new kid, xfce.  Now it looks nice and seems to work.

Update - Oh yes, this is much better than the others.

Old Faithful spits out earthquakes


This was on the top of the earthquake lists as I sipped my morning coffee.  Earthquakes have been sooo dull recently, so I jumped at it.  There should be lots of small earthquakes around the geyser, but I haven't seen them so far.  Did they just put in a new seismometer?

So, lets bring back the hoary old beast of the Yellowstone super volcano that will wipe out the world!  Whooo, scary!  Just in time for Halloween.

I am a rich man!



I regularly get these letters, so by now it must be tens of millions!  Always from Spain for some reason, since I would expect Nigeria.  The last time they made the effort to change the first name to Charles or something.  There are like 20 Asmis's in the world, so another 'H W' would be difficult.  :)

Anyway, feel free to white-out my name and substitute yours, and go for the 8 million.
