No, I'm not dead. I just haven't been posting much. Sorry about that. Here's what's been going on in my life recently.

UNIX Jan 7, 2002

I just realized how quickly I've turned into a UNIX bigot. Before I feel really comfortable using a computer, I need to have emacs installed on it, and it needs to be accessible from a command prompt, and that command prompt needs to have tab-completion...
