Perspectives of a Canadian in the Old/Deep/New/Geographic South: This is where I ramble on about nothing in particular and post a few nice pictures.
As if chocoholics really needed another excuse
Chocolate improves blood vessel function: study
“In this sample of healthy adults, dark chocolate ingestion over a short period of time was shown to significantly improve (blood vessel) function,” said Dr. Valentine Yanchou Njike of Yale Prevention Research Center, a co-investigator of the study
Finally managed to get my hands on a new box to replace this aging radinfo server. It’s an old PACS workstation that’s being replaced with a new workstation, but still it’s a much better box than what I have radinfo on now.
The new box is a Dell Precision 530 (about 4 years old now) with dual 1.5 GHz P4s with 1 GB of RAM in it. Should be a much better box than the dual 450 MHz PII that I’m using now*.
Fedora 6 installation is in progress at the moment. Should take me a few days to migrate things over so hopefully by next week I’ll have the new server up and running in place of the old one.
Woo hoo!
*When nobody gives you a budget for these kinds of things, you have to scavenge computer hardware where ever you can.
Does anybody else have brown water coming out of their taps?
A call to Charleston Water System‘s emergency line brought me to a helpful lady that told me the fire department had been flushing lines today and that I should run the cold water in the faucets farthest away from the meter for about 10 minutes to flush out the water lines.
The taps have been running for almost 20 minutes now and the water finally seems to be starting to clear up. I have a feeling I’ve also just flushed the lines for the entire neighbourhood considering my house is at the end of the cul-de-sac.
