As you may have gathered from my previous entry, there was snow! That's the first time ever I've had fluffy powdery bits of ice fall on me, and I'm still grinning in a somewhat mad fashion. Snow! Yay! I took my camera out and took photos (with a gap in the middle to, y'know, attach a lens and all), and then came back in and frantically wiped it dry, and took the film out and it's going to be developede yay tomorrow (but unfortunately I don't have a scanner) and then went back outside to be snowed on.

And that's a very long sentence. I suppose the short version is this: Wheee!

It's come to my attention through recent use of the win2k command line that, well, it sucks*. To this end, I finally got around to digging out my CD with the ports of things like ls, less and grep.

And, lastly, people seem to be mildly timid about commenting with linkyness or suggestions or such. Don't be. No comment is too random, no fun link too tangential, no book suggestion out of place.

*This may be because remembering about silly things like dir is now quite impossible for me.

I hadn't gotten around to putting them on this one again, but then I decided that roguelike games are easiest to run from the command line, which was where things went a little wrong.

I normally end up putting them on because I want an SSH server for encrypted file transfer (all the Windows machines I use are for work purposes, so data security can be quite important).

Oh, and random linkiness: a friend of mine did a sort of m15m type thing of the War of the Worlds, which you might find amusing

I haven't seen the newest War of the Worlds as yet, but I'll keep it in mind if I do.
