Michael Meffie

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures, he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Rest in peace,
Ed Frank

OLPC is running the get one/give one program again this year, and this time I didn’t want to miss out. I ordered the xo laptop at Amazon and it arrived one day later (even with standard shipping). So far, I have been very pleased with the device. The main reason I purchased the xo is I wanted a very portable machine with a sunlight viewable screen. I spend much of my time in ssh, so I dont need a powerful machine. Of course the main drawback of the xo is the keyboard, which is about completely unusable to my fat fingers. Fortunately, external usb keyboards work fine, and so I’m using a spare keyboard for the time being. I will look into buying a small but usable keyboard.

An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first one orders a beer. The second orders half a beer. The third, a quarter of a beer. The bartender says “You’re all idiots”, and pours two beers.

Beat the clock coding in the beehive today with the OpenAFS gurus. Good coffee and interesting environment.

Welcome to my tiny, tiny little corner of the world wide web. I have finally upgraded my personal site, and decided to go from static HTML v2.0 to a nicely themed wordpress site. You never know, I might even post here now and again.
