ULX is going on right now in Utah and I started thinking back on my past ULX experiences. It was almost exactly two years ago that I decided to drastically alter the course my life had taken up to that point. It was two years ago that I decided I would stop being a man-whore and marry my Cheri.

Think you have it bad in the States when gas goes above $3 USD/US gallon? Google says: 1.02600 (Euros / liter) = 5.71234085 U.S. dollars / US gallon And that doesn't even include tax!

We just returned from our vacation in Jerusalem and thought I would give some of my thoughts on the Holy Land.

Well, according to the primary song, that's how it's supposed to be. Things I learned while 25: Losing a brother (or any close family) is something you do not want to go through. The second year of marriage can be just as good, or even better, than the first. I still very much love my Cheri. It's (going to be) a boy! Making new friends is fun, but missing old ones isn't. A whole lot of stuff about some country called Cyprus.

Wow. What a difference two months can make!

I compiled KDE4 from subversion about two months ago. It was... well, bad. In contrast, I just finished compiling KDE4 from subversion again today, two months later, and it is a night and day difference. Most things work and it seems to be a lot faster than KDE 3.5. I am excited to play around with this new KDE and especially Amarok 2!

Who knows. I may just be pulling the switch from Gnome to KDE.

Myspace too. It's not that I'm anti-web-social. It's just that every time I log on, I see all my friends and family who are now thousands of miles away and knowing that it will still be a really long time before I see them again, if ever. And that makes me sad. Curse you web 2.0 and your social web!!

I DON'T SPEAK GREEK!! Not yet anyway. So why do a lot of sites detect my IP address and automatically assume I speak Greek, just because I have a Cypriot (as in, from Cyprus) IP address? Sure, Greek is ONE of the official languages. But so is Turkish. And English is right up there as well, and is probably more commonly understood. But no. They assume that we all speak Greek. Even that incorrect assumption wouldn't be so bad either if they gave me the option of saying "No, I no espeakah the Greek. I espeakah the Englis". But alas, such is rarely the case.
