I just got back from the hospital.

While working on the Riverview set for next week with KT, I ran a nail through my thumb. They’re only 15 guage finishing nails, so it’s not like there was a giant wound or anything, but there was some blood.

After laughing for like 15 minutes and then doing some more work KT and I decided we should tell Tara [ok, she decided we should, I wanted to finish our project. But I went anyway.] After waiting at the hospital for an hour and some change, I got to see a nurse, then a doctor, then another nurse, then the X-Ray tech, then the doctor again, then another nurse who gave me a shot and another nurse who put a splint on my thumb.

It’s not broken. The nail went through my thumb right proper, but somehow went between the two bones. Overall, it was a good experience, and I’m glad I got to go, but I wish they’d shown me the x-ray, I really wanted to see the bones in my hand.

I only get to leave the splint on for a couple days.

I took a couple pictures at Eric and Kristie’s wedding rehearsal tonight. Strangely, the only ones I’m really happy with are these two (in 1024×768, for your desktop inhabiting pleasure)…

If at all possible I want the 700m to be my next laptop (when I replace the two I have right now.)

I’m working on one today and it is really an outstanding machine. Just waiting for the drive to finish formatting now… (it’s silly to accept that what a manufacturer thinks you should have is what you should have.) Know that the version of Windows that a manufacturer puts on your machine is slightly defferent (based on their unique specs) than what the generally retailed version is.

That is all.

Well, things are getting pretty serious right now. I mean, we chat online for, like, two hours every day so I guess you could say things are gettin’ pretty serious.

I’ve been doing a lot of research on Linux lately and came accross this gem.

Computers are like airconditioners: They stop working properly if you open windows.

and this one…

Win95: A 32-bit patch for a 16-bit GUI shell running on top of an 8-bit operating system written for a 4-bit processor by a 2-bit company who cannot stand 1 bit of competition.

Overall, my studies have shown me that Linux and Windows despite many similarities do not play nicely together.
