Ben Folds

I’m pretty excited to be going to see Ben Folds live, in concert, next Saturday. Even though he’ll be performing at our rival’s auditorium, it still should be a pretty good show. This will only be the second concert I’ve been to, and I couldn’t think of anyone else I’d rather see.

Ben Folds is one of my favorite performers. I think his lyrics are what draws me most to his music (and incidentally, is what led me to start SongMeanings.)

Maybe after the show I can go talk to him, then mention SongMeanings. Upon immediate recognition of the name, he will proceed to tell me that he is a big fan and regale me with tales of how SongMeanings inspired his solo-music career.

OK, enough of the annoying fan-girl crap, already. ::faints::

Update: Ben hospitalized for respiratory infection. Show cancelled. Sucks.

FreeBSD r0x

Coming from someone who runs a Debian GNU/Linux server at home: “FreeBSD r0x!”

I’m diving into the world of FreeBSD. I installed 5.2.1-RELEASE on an old Dell GX1 at work and am playing around configuring and whatnot.

The concept of ports are pretty impressive, and they seem to work well. I am continually impressed at the ease-of-use of the system as a whole.

(Going to be replacing that Debian install with a FreeBSD one soon.)
