Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House, a picture of which has long graced my design page, may be saved. I put together a brief tribute to his work.
Saddam captured. There’s no need for me to even mention it, as it’s the only discourse in town at the moment.
My laptop currently runs Windows 2000. My wife’s runs XP. Since I moved to South Carolina, I’ve been using her laptop quite a bit (it’s nicer than mine) and finding things I like and don’t like about the OS she’s running. One thing that’s just odd about it, coming from a Linux perspective, is the way in which it handles multiple user accounts. In general, multiple users have autonomy. But certain things (like the arrangement of the desktop) affect other users when you change them on your own account. Strange. I’d like to be able to completely customize my account w/o affecting hers. So far, that hasn’t been possible. Perhaps there’s a setting somewhere that I’m missing (some checkbox that says “No, really. Go ahead and act like a true multi-user OS.”
As you might have noticed, the comments system is still a bit odd. You can leve comments, but the comments counter doesn’t increment. I’d fix it, but I’m going to switch over to my home-brew system over the holiday break. So why bother? If you’ve left a comment, I’ll do my best to preserve it when I migrate to the new system.
