Happy New Year!


George Bush's war on terror ended on a very leathery note. Not what I'd call weapons of mass destruction. But had the targeting of these projectiles been successful, the loss of dignity would have been terrifying!

What A Header!



Think this player got a little too close, during the opposition's throw in.

LA Galaxy vs Oceania All Stars (Mt Smart Stadium) Auckland)

Alan Gordon has just scored a second goal, from a great Beckham pass, for LA Galaxy against Oceania All-Stars and the match is only 13 minutes old!

This game looks like it will become a one way scorefest.

Update: McDonald scores on the half hour mark from a Beckham corner kick.

No change in the score for the rest of the game. However, Edgar Davids injected a lot of his flair into the second half.

Full Time:
LA Galaxy 3 Oceania All Stars 0

Confused in Georgia




















I could not stop laughing when I read this! BTW, if you have trouble reading the answer on your screen, I've retyped it here:

"You are in the state of Georgia. The nation of Georgia is on the other side of the world."

Ubuntu 8.10 Resolved my Wireless Issue!

I have just upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 on my Presario V3000 Notebook.

After all the grief I endured with the wireless connection using 8.04, I now have all of my Ubuntu wireless hassles behind me. The wireless connection on 8.10 works fine! All I had to do was search for the hardware driver and implement my network settings.

If you own a Presario in the range of the V2000-6000 series notebooks that use the Broadcom B43 network driver, then this info could prove very helpful to you.
