Upgrading to Vista

Ars Technica detailed their efforts to upgrade several different systems to Windows Vista. None of this would really surprise anyone who has tried to upgrade an older system to a new OS. Whenever I upgrade Linux I dust my box except for my /home partition. It's no shocker that a dusting is preferable to trying an upgrade.

Adobe Opens ActionScript VM

I saw on the Penguin.SWF blog that Adobe has donated the source code to ActionScript virtual machine to the Mozilla Foundation. Obviously, some would like Adobe to open source Flash 9. That's not likely to happen. The press release gives some details and is certainly fully buzzword-compliant. Here's also the Mozilla project page for this, codenamed Tamarin. Kudos to Adobe for opening up more code.

VOTE!

Hey all you 'mericans living in 'merica, read up on this issues quickly if you haven't done so already and then get out to vote! If you don't, I don't want to hear you complain for the next two years either.

NFL Week #8 and #9 Final

Well, between the two weeks, I was a 13-14 while Eeyore was 14-13. Obviously we're coming back to Earth in a big way. All told I'm 76-51 (.598) while Eeyore is 82-45 (.646). I still can't get over the fact that the Lions won. I'll take it. Since I know you're dying for an update on my fantasy team, I actually won this week too. I'm in third place in my division, but everyone in the other division has a worse record.
