Wow... six emails and only ONE of them spam... could the world possibly be coming to an end...?

*checks other email*

Ahh, so THAT'S where all the spam was hiding.

The server was down almost all day at work today. By the time I heard it was up, I was leaving for the day. HA HA, SUCKERS

Of course, it made today very boring, because all I had to do was help Chris staple the boxes of payroll stuff. But.

Mmm, mistake pizza.

Mmm, tasty greed.

So I'm thinking of asking for part of a digital camera for my birthday. I'm looking at a model that's a bit under $200, I can get mom to cover maybe $40 of that, which leaves about 160 still unaccounted for. Should I open up ye olde PayPal tip jar and invite sd readers to help pay for my birthday? Granted, it is a good chunk of money, and they did just help buy me my new computer last Octoberish, but. If thirty people contributed FIVE DOLLARS each, that would all but close the gap!

So am I being overly greedy, or does it sound like a good idea? This is the camera I'm looking at, btw.

Edit: actually it's more like this one. Since the xi is cheaper and the only difference seems to be the software and the software that COMES with the xi looks more useful ANYWAY. So, yes. PIE

Neat.

I'm posting from Linux, thanks to Knoppix. Granted, I can't get the sound or display to stop hating my guts, but. Linux. Fun stuff.

*reboots to try to fix things*

Edit: sound is working, display still hates me. See? I tell it on boot to give me a better res, it still sticks me with that. Like I'm supposed to be able to READ that font... but, at least I've got my music working, and I'm doing my best to pretend to be a command-line ninja. Whee.
