Now using OSX86
It took a bit of work, but here it is...how to get OSX86 working on a Dell PowerEdge 400SC Server (P4 2.8GHz w/HT, 1GB RAM, DVD+R and CD-RW, etc.) and dual-boot it with WinXP.

By... returns this week
I've been extremely busy over the break: continuing to organize the VCU Model UN conference, chairing a conference at my old high school, updating the Vana'diel Lobby and programming new features, working, and meeting up with friends. But not to worry, now that I'm back at school with a bit more time, "By Robert J. Funches" will return on a regular basis.

WTF is with these fire alarms?
Two days in a row. Today it was at the dining center (Shafer) on Monroe Park at about 10:10 am.
Really, what deity have I managed to piss off this time?

It's a good thing I was awake
because the loud annoying alarm-clock-like sound outside my room turned out to be the fire alarm
at 6:10 am.
It's now 7:40 am and I'm still trying to register for one last class -- a physics class -- in case I can't get into the class I want, "Issues in World Politics," with my favorite professor and MUN advisor Chris Saladino. I think I can still get in though, though probably via override.

Back to page 1
It's every writer's fear...writing a story that goes in a direction that for certain reasons, you really don't want it to go in.
And now, I'm back to page 1, rewriting with a different plot but the same name and characters.

Starting
So it's the morning of November 1st and the start of NaNo. 1 month, 50000 words. I'm embarking on an interesting journey through literary fiction land with two characters, a title, and barely a semblance of a plot.
And to give you an idea of where I'm heading (actually, there's really no way to tell) here's a tiny bit of the opening:
Katherine hated her first name. She preferred Kit, but every official document pissed her off with “Katherine.” To finally have a letter that began with “Dear Kit” made her smile. Maybe, just maybe, after nineteen years, the old name would slowly disappear in favor of the new one.

Avian Shock and Awe
Food which at one time had feathers continues to get bad publicity due to concerns over avian flu and the deadly H5N1 strain of influenza that is spreading across the globe and could potentially mutate to a human-to-human contracted disease. So now might be a good time to bring up a bird food that is no longer eaten -- and it's not because of fears of avian flu.
