Mine just turned 2 - premature, but dodged NICU by a matter of hours. Also missed my birthday (and my mother-in-law's) by one day!

Still here via post notification - following a few of the old Circle via Twitter, and I did try LJ for a while too. Missing Multiply though.

I've been using them for years - about 15 years now, as I recall, having started with a 64 Mb 32 bit VPS built on User-Mode Linux, now I'm paying the same price for a massively upgraded VPS on the same IP and login - probably the majority of reboots over that time have been to apply the periodic free upgrades to spec!
Journal Journal: Computer Programming Languages
I have spent years working with an assortment of programming languages - C, C++, Pascal/Delphi, Fortran, Ada, MS-DOS batch scripts (I didn't say all *good* languages), bash/csh scripts, SAS, PHP, Javascript...among others. Until recently I would have identified C++ as my "favorite" language. But that is changing.

I tried Fedora but I gave up on it when it repeatedly kernel-panicked on me. Wasn't fair, though - I was attempting to run it on a Sony laptop and Sony is notoriously Linux-unfriendly.
Bluestar is my first experience with Arch-based Linux. So far, so good...

Never bothered with Twitter. Seems like a great way to give everyone microstatus, but not useful for much else.
Journal Journal: [linux] BlueStar Linux 5
Yes, I'm still here. Yes, I know hardly anyone will read this. No, I don't especially care.
Recently I decided to change Linux disctributions on my main system and I installed BlueStar. It is an Arch-based distro which is a new experience for me; I have been using RedHat-based distros for ages, specifically Scientific. I wanted to try something new, and I ended up on BlueStar based on the reputation of Arch and based on a few reviews.

I haven't seen mod points in over 10 years. I suspect it will be a long while yet before I see them again. Oh well, I have other things to do anyway.

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not

Cool. Haven't seen any of those in five or seven years. I suppose that means I have to go by the front page, though...
