Hugh's Worthless Blog

I have recently posted my family's review of many children's and science museums we have visited over the years. We had just returned from Memphis a few days ago after visiting the very nice Children's Museum of Memphis , and we realized we have visited so many of them that we were starting to mix them up. So what a better way to keep straight our highlights of our visits then on a museum review web page ! We will update it as often as we visit more such museums!

It looks like Patrick Kolla has finally released the official 1.4 release. I had been using the beta and then release candidate of 1.4 and they were working great, but it is good to see he now considers it ready to roll. With this new release, I think SpyBot is definitely the slickest anti-spyware product out there, although I do like AdAware and even "Microsoft"'s product (if you can call it really theirs). You can grab a copy from the official site or from my mirror site . There is also a new version 3 release of KANOTIX (KANOTIX-2005-03.iso) which is available at ftp.wustl.edu . This includes the new 2.6.11.11 kernel, KDE 3.4.1 among other updates. KANOTIX continues to be the bleeding edge live Linux CD out there.

Well the Cardinals have beat the Red Sox two in a row. Too bad they couldn't do that last fall during the World Series!! The Cards are currently 38-20, wow! Of course they had a great regular season last year before collapsing in the Series. Who knows what will happen this fall...

Wow, I haven't posted anything in a while! Today's latest news is the 3.9 release of KNOPPIX, available from wuarchive.wustl.edu . This release finally includes KDE 3.4 and also updated wifi drivers. The next 4.0 release will be available both on DVD and CD versions. More news includes a "lite" version of MEPIS, but that is only available by subscription for now. The latest SimplyMEPIS is 3.3.1 which I have installed on a couple machines here at the university, and it works just splendidly.
