I noticed that Pearl Jam will be releasing their first Greatest Hits CD on the 16th called “rearviewmirror.” Great title for a greatest hits collection. But I am even more excited over one of the tracks being included: “I Got Shit” which is a track that is very dear and personal to me. For years the only copy I was able to find for a cheap price was off of a file sharing network. Then lost the file when I had a hard drive crash, preventing me from listening to the song for a couple of years now. However, I plan to get this greatest hits album so I can finally get a quality copy of this song. Plus, it is great collection to have anyways, despite me owning all of their albums otherwise.

The return of Netscape?
Looks like Netscape is going to release a browser based on Firefox. Why do I feel this is a case of AOL trying to capture some of the fame from the 3 million downloads in 5 days of Firefox 1.0?
I’ll believe it first when 1) it actually happens and 2) it is actually usable and the added “features” are worth it.
Anything though that can protential get Gecko-based browsers in the hands of new users is good though.
New cousin
Welcome to the world to my new cousin, Emma Grace Trubia. Healthy too 
Switching to Gaim?
I am seriously considering switching from my AIM & DeadAIM combo for instant messaging to Gaim.
The reasons are numerous. AIM has steadly gotten more and more bloated, buggy, and generally a pain in the ass. DeadAIM fixed many of the lacking features in AIM, but it adds a new level of bugginess to AIM.
I have tried Gaim previously and found it too lacking feature wise and pretty buggy. Well I just tried version 1.0.3 and I am very impressed with how well it works so far. I am right now signed onto four different instant messaging services (AIM, Yahoo, MSN, Jabber) and not missing a beat. I am so impressed that I am going to give it a one week trial. If everything goes well, I will switch to Gaim full time for my instant messaging needs.
Great job Gaim team!
Being productive
It is amazing how productive I can be at times.
I completely cleaned the kitchen this weekend so that it looks like brand new. My computer area is completely cleaned out, organized, and everything put away neatly. I even entertained the thought of going through my stack of paperwork that needs to be organized, but I need to pick up some folder tabs at Staples so I can label everything. Maybe I can do that this afternoon.
I have three bags full of trash now to toss into the dumpster.
I am now cleaning the bedroom before Katie’s bus gets in around 3. The only thing I didn’t do was laundry and I am going to do that later today.
Maybe Katie should go visit Karen more often!
