Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Can anyone elaborate on why Ubuntu seems to be the Linux distro of choice for 'ffistas?
I'm using Ubuntu now. I was using SUSE, but I wanted to try something else. I really like Debian packaging and apt-get and was never a big fan of SUSE's packaging setup. I'm liking Ubuntu, it requires more fiddling with the command line to set things up than SUSE, but it seems quicker somehow. KDE vs. GNOME is pretty much a non-issue with Ubuntu since one apt-get command can get you the KDE desktop if you want it.

Bah. I finally pulled the drives and sticks out of my old machine, and the old memory is indeed not compatable with the new machine. Oh well, I've almost doubled my drive space, though. Nice.

Anyone know how I can use iChat on my Mac to chat with someone's Googletalk account? It's theoretically possible, according to Google, but I'm having a hard time figuring it out.

You log in using the Jabber protocol, but I can't remember what other services you can use with Jabber to log in with.

Hmm. I think I lack something that Jabber needs. Will continue to try...

It has to be a fairly new iChat to work. At least, I know I've used a version of iChat that didn't use Jabber. 3.1.4 works easy peasy.
