Hurray. Cobalt machines are finally end of lifed. I fucking hate the cobalt raq's. Some clients of ours have them and they are worthless and anoying. They don't ever have security updates, which is a gigantic "kickme" sign on the internet these days. They don't have featurefull software, since they are 10 million versions behind. They have crappy hardware. You can't get their binaries easily. They just suck. Hurray for them getting the axe!

Had a nice time at boulder hacking society tonight. Went and had dinner at the southern sun, then over to caffe sole for wireless and geeking. The wireless there still hates my usb wireless card. Noticed that my laptop has a mini-pci modem in it, and the thought was to try a mini-pci wireless in it and see if it could find it. Convinced john to take the mini-pci out of his thinkpad and let me try it. Turns out tho to do that he needed a "secure torx", so that failed. Oh well, it was a nice try anyhow. Will see about finding another mini-pci to try.
