Oh, how the mighty have fallen!
OK, so that’s a little dramatic, but still, my blog’s google placement for certain keywords has suffered sorely and it troubles me.

Only 3 days until I get to try SUSE Linux 10.1!
There is this new thing called “broadband” and together with this other new thing called “bittorrent” you never have to download things at <56k again!
I love 2006!
