Congrats to fellow ISU Alumnus Cael Sanderson, who won the Olympic gold medal tonight in the freestyle wrestling competition. In case you haven't heard of him, he's the wrestler who was an impressive 159-0 during his collegiate career, racking up four consecutive NCAA championships for Iowa State University.
My Dish 6000u HDTV receiver is now up for grabs at eBay, for anyone wanting HDTV satellite service.
My wife, Holly, is walking in the Memory Walk to raise money for fighting Alzheimer's Disease. Won't you please make a donation? She wants to raise at least $100, and it's obviously going to a worthy cause. You can donate online (securely) via that link using your credit card, or feel free to PayPal a donation to me at seth.bokelman@uni.edu and I'll make sure it gets there.
If you're looking for a challenge, I highly suggest computing in another language. I spent yesterday afternoon working on a student's french laptop, updating it to work with our 802.1X wireless configuration on campus. I think I was successful with that, we'll find out when he comes back to try it with his username and password. Today, I'm working on a Russian laptop, a Roverbook of all things. This one isn't working the way I think it should, and Service Pack 2 hasn't been issued in Russian yet. It's easier to work on than the French laptop though, because the keyboard is the same as the U.S. keyboard, so I can at least type at normal speedy, though I can make no sense of the Cyrillic alphabet.
