I'm not going to partition my hard drive to fit Ubuntu Linux. I'm going to buy a new hard drive instead. I think it would be a better idea, and I'm sure you would agree too. If I don't go through with the whole Linux thing, well, at least I have a second hard drive. Not that I need one. But if that happens.

Today I got my school picture. Picture day was rather chaotic as I had to have my picture taken twice for some reason. Alas, I got prints of only one picture, and I saw that it was good -- better than last year's, anyway, where my body looks like a monolith because my head is framed really high in the picture.

Dullah: Me from UK, and just wondering is it hard to drive a stick shift in the US? coz youre controlling the gears with ur right hand...

Me from US, and me don't really know whether it would be hard or not because me not yet learn to drive. However, it can't be impossible, because there are left-handed drivers and there are cars with manual transmissions, so the two groups must overlap to some degree. Speaking as a southpaw, it's not very hard to learn how to do something with your right hand if it's not complicated and you can't already do it with your left hand. Don't ask me why, but that's the way it seems to me. I learned to play the guitar right-handed and I don't think it gave me much more difficulty than it would a righty.

Here's a fan-made video [embedded Quicktime video with sound] for a song called "Jed's Other Poem (Beautiful Ground)" by a group called Grandaddy. The video starts off slow, but keep watching. It's really an impressive feat, considering the whole thing was done on a 1979 Apple II Plus. Good song, too.
