This was on the front page of Digg.com today. An experiment to convert the first 10,000 digits of pi into musical sequence. An interesting idea, and I'm surprised nobody tried it before. Unfortunately I'm at work right now so I haven't listened to any of it to see whether it sounds all that good.

I just noticed that Fedora Core 5 was released. Time to upgrade, I think, given that my desktop is currently running Fedora Core 3 (plus umpteen patches, and customizations).

It's a 3.something gig download though, although the U of C hosts a mirror for it. That means that I can probably get reasonable speed.

One thing that I've been debating is dropping a nice big hard drive (200 - 250 gigs) into my desktop to give me a little more space to work with. Currently my 80 gig drive has only about 5 gigs free, and that's with a fair bit of stuff put on DVD.

Saw the following headline today at Slice of Laodicea:

Afghan Man Faces Death for Allegedly Converting to Christianity

Call me a cynic when it comes to US foreign policy, but a lot of the hype over it is at very least misdirected.

One show that I've found to be interesting to listen to is Issues, etc.. It's a show put on by a radio station funded by the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, and is available in podcast form as well.

If anyone happens to listen to the White Horse Inn, the host of Issues, etc., Todd Wilkin, has been on that show a number of times.
