Almost lost my Stick and KDE3.3 what a Breeze and Almost done Buffy.

My Skate History Repeats it Self, Almost

So this is how it happened in, oh lets see in 1996 I think. I was attending Antonelli and working at Domino's full time. My skating had slowed down a bit but I still got out when I could. For some reason I was skating at the old Antonelli building and stopped for a bit to sit in my truck and listen to the Eagles game. I drove off leaving my board alone in the parking lot. I realized it when I got home and raced back but it was gone. I think it was my Santa Cruz Everslick board. The place was a local skate spot so some kids probably came by and picked it up... I would have done the same. I didn't get another board until 4 or 5 years later. :o(

So yesterday I am at my little lunchtime skate spot. I got back in the car to change and closed the door. I got changed a sat there for a minute thinking if I could get in trouble for changing in my car in that parking lot and if I would be able to change in the lot of the Skate Park. Anyway, I drive off back to work. As I am getting in the car to leave for the day I glance at the back seat and notice that board isn't there. I sit in the car for a sec and then realize that I didn't get back out and pick up my board! Dread overtakes me...I start to think of what I can sell to get another board...and the skate park opens Monday, figures. I take off for the lunchtime skate spot. In my head I am playing out both scenarios. In one I see the board from far off and am relieved in the other, the board is gone and I cry. The spot is only like 2 mins from TV Guide, if that. I whip through a shortcut that I just found today and start to scope out the parking lot from a distance. Then I see it. A small red spot near the edge of the lot! Whoopee! I feel my luck gathering again. I swoop in to get the board at the same time another car turns into the lot. I know that the car is not going for my board but I feel like it is. I drive a little crazier through the lot. I pick up the board and apologize to it and give it a little kiss. Yea, I said kiss, what'chu going to do about it? 8o|

KDE 3.3 install was a Breeze

The install went very easy actually there were problems at all. I found very easy instructions (sometimes very easy instructions for Linux stuff is hard to find.). It was basically 1-download all of the RPM's 2-open a Console window in that directory and sign in as root. 3-enter this: rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps *.rpm let it do its thing. 4-reboot and you are done.

Almost done Buffy

I caught up on Buffy last night, so now we can watch the last episode... Angle awaits us next I think its season 4.
