our furry friends are becoming bolder. the two in question, henrietta and josé, have been living off our kitchen scraps and counter crumbs for weeks. they have taken to scampering into the hallway, only to bounce back to the kitchen when someone taps their foot against the floor. our deepest fear is that josé (small and crafty) has gotten henrietta (a blimp of a mouse) pregnant and that the two will be raising a family.
this evening, the mighty chastitude (chas) primed our last line of defense with peanut butter as we prepare for all-out war in the long months ahead.

it’s definitely time to go to bed. the second half of the wireless network is complete: i’ve gotten a netgear™ wg511 card to work on my newly-acquired ibm™ t23. which means it’s probably time to send in the numerous rebate forms for said card and router.
more on the new kernel: it properly detects my camera (olympus™ brio d-100), mounts it using scsi generic and usb mass storage. what a pleasure compared to having to patch modules for the 2.4 series. it’s also doing acpi. i had apm working fine w/ 2.4, and thought i’d try something new… the only problem is the framebuffer console doesn’t seem to want to come back after a suspend. neither does my mouse. which means it’d be rather difficult to restart xwindows.
