According to the The Sun Newspaper Online, someoen stole the wheels off of F-1 boss Bernie Ecclestone’s Mercedes while it was parked outside of his house. You’d think a guy worth £2.3billion could afford a garage.

I just received my results from the LPI 102 test I took as part of LUG/IP’s LPI training program. I am happy to report that I passed. Now I need to arrange to take LPI 101 so I can be considered certified at the LPIC-1 level.

Wow, did that loud mouth DW change his tune in the last half lap of the Nextel Cup race at Atlanta.

In case you missed the “comment” by Sweet Pea, I figured I’d post it as a regular post. I’m looking forward to seeing how Little Billy runs this year. BTW: Notice his sponsor at Bridgeport.

Last night I went to Potomac Speedway in Budd’s Creek Maryland. This was the first time I was ever there for a race. Last year I stopped by the track on the way back from Richmond to see what it looked like. When I did check it out I saw a 1/3 mile dirt oval with high banks.

I just added a new category on upcoming conferences of possible interest to those in the systems librarian world. The main reason why I decided to do this is so I can find them again and I haven’t found a good repository for this type of information.
