StellarLinux

| 26 October 2005

So I've started my a new blog detailing a project I'm working on: StellarLinux. This will be a Knoppix-based LiveCD with Astronomy software. Eventually, I'd like to put course material on the CD and distribute it to Astronomy Students.

I'm really excited that the school has given me the chance to do something I love.



OH, and one other thing, I've put a link to Threadless T-Shirts. They have a lot of cool designs...check them out! (Nice boobies!)

How's it goin'? Can I get you a mint?

I know I haven't had much to say recently, but that's my own damn fault. I've been keeping extremely busy. It seems like every free moment is filled with work or homework (except for the weekends, those are MINE).

Let's see, what's happened since we last chatted?


The weekend of 23 Septembre we went to The Cities to see the fabulous U2 in concert. This is what their stage looked like:
Dashboard Confessional opened for U2, unfortunately the improperly tuned speakers and Chris Carrabba's naturally high voice caused quite the strain on our little ears. I was really looking forward to seeing them play, but felt let down.

U2 was simply amazing. You could feel the crowd's electricity in the air. Bono invited not one, but two(!) ladies onstage to dance with him.

The rest of the weekend was spent losing our Ikea virginity, enjoying Cosetta's Italian, Jucy Lucy's, and Cheesecake Factory.

A few days pass...

Last week I headed back to The Cities for the Nine Inch Nails concert. Nails rocked the Xcel Energy Center; they sounded just like their CDs. It was worth the four hours of sleep I got that morning.

As if that wasn't enough for one week: Saturday, Eik (Jess) and I experienced the Brookings Pub Crawl for the very first time. Here was the plan of attack:

  1. The Safari Lounge - Our home team
  2. Main Street Pub
  3. Cubby's
  4. Chevy's
  5. The Lantern - Home of the Lantern Tea
  6. Ray's Corner
  7. Back to the Saf
I have never been that drunk so early in the day. We started at 12:30pm and I had passed out by 5:30pm. Hungover by 9:30pm. Ouch.
