Apparently Europa’s main webserver is having technical difficulties. This is a pity, since it means that the websites for KGON, KFXX, KRSK and KKSN-AM and FM are unavailable. Lucky for us, KNRK’s hosting is with Navisite and is thus unaffected.

It’s V-Day, and love is in the air and on the nets.
What does a geek do when he’s in love and one of the head honchos of one of the most trafficked websites in all of geekdom?
He pops the question on Valentine’s Day right there on the website, that’s what. Kinda cute, really. Say it with me, “Awwwww!”

Linux geek humor
This bit of humor from a Slashdot discussion of things Linus Torvalds has merged into the new 2.5.x-series development Linux kernels:
Linus Torvalds Merges Self with Tree!!
CYBERSPACE, USA – In a freak accident at Transmeta World Headquarters this afternoon, famed programmer Linus Torvalds — creator of the Linux operating system kernel — accidentally merged himself into the kernel’s dev tree. When reached for comment, Torvalds seemed only able to respond with “Power overwhelming.”
Alan Cox, another prominent GNU/Linux programmer said he thought the merging — though accidental — was a good thing. “Now that [Linus]is actually in the kernel he can take advantage of Linux’s multitasking and actually handle the work-load that he has. This is a really good thing for the community.” Added Cox, “It’s also pretty [freaking] weird.”
Thank you, “Pedro Picasso.”

Humpday cleared once again
Just another wonderful Wednesday here at ol’ Entercom Portland. I spent a lot of time hunched over various laptops today, mostly installing and configuring various software. It’s a lot better than spending a day troubleshooting random errors, that’s for damned sure.
I’d have gone hungry today but for the sake of some kind soul who shared some Papa John’s pizza with the crew. Yum, thinly-sliced pizza-pie! Thanks, anonymous contributor!
I worked on Mike Johnson’s little Packard Bell some more, solving the mystery FDISK problem among other things. Turns out to have been a combination of a non-DOS partition and having the HP CD-R drive active. Later on I discovered that one of the RAM sticks from that old DubEdit 1 Enco workstation was unreliable.
The KNRK morning show may, in the morning, be attempting to use NetMeeting to coordinate caller information and other tidbits. They’ll be operating in more than one studio, possibly, so if the NetMeeting trick works I’ll have made a major contribution to the smooth operation of the Gustav and Daria show. Keep your fingers crossed, eh?
I’ll be in kind of late tomorrow, I have a hair appointment at 9:00am. Like you needed to know that.

A non-McCaffrey book review at last
Having put this off for a week or two now, I figured that a quiet half-hour this afternoon was a good opportunity to purge this bit of unpleasantness from my system. Today I tackle the miscarriage of fantasy writing that is The Redemption Of Althalus by David and Leigh Eddings.
Read on, gentle viewer.
