In the process of cleaning-out my aunt’s apartment, we’ve been finding vast quantities of audiobooks - at least 50 so far.

I’m putting them up on eBay a few per day, available here, if anyone is interested. If anyone in the Triangle area is interested, and doesn’t mind waiting a couple weeks for delivery, I’ll waive shipping and bring them south with me when I return from NY in a couple weeks.

I’m sure other items will end up getting listed in eBay as the months roll on, and I’ll post those when they become available.

I’m a huge fan of the Discovery Channel series, Cash Cab. While in New York this week, I kept looking for the elusive 1-in-13000 cabs that Ben Bailey drives, hoping for the opportunity to hop in and play the game.

Well, I didn’t have a chance to get in, but I saw the cab Tuesday night: a minivan complete with flashing ceiling, and Ben driving with his ear piece in place.

It’s obviously not as cool as being on the show, but still pretty exciting.

…or, more accurately, the apartment complex. I was talking to a couple friends this past weekend, and told them I’d like to offer a per-minute lease on an apartment. It turns out that $0.02 per minute is $864/30-day month. For another penny a minute I’d include all utilities.

Ok, so it’s a little off the wall, but why not?

Also, why don’t apartment complexes let you pay your lease with a PayPal subscription? It would certainly make my life easier if I could just sign-up with my PayPal account, and have the rent automatically show up on the right day.

Yes, the frozen, white, flaky water that falls from the skies and accumulates on the ground.

It’s snowing here in Durham, and I’m psyched.

As a coworker said, “Snow is redneck kryptonite”.

There were some issues the past couple days with this and other sites I host. Apparently there was some form of DNS misappropriation, followed by my ISP switching my server IP without telling me till after they switched it.

All should be fixed now, though. Sorry for any inconvenience.

In a continuance of my virtualization experience, I have finally installed VMware server on my home machine, and it’s freaking awesome. I now have Kubuntu installed on a spare drive in my new gaming Windows box, and am running another instance of XP Pro, and a couple other OSes, under it inside VMware.

Kudos to the folks in California.
