Standing by...
This has easily been the worst week of this year... so far.
 
=Operating Systems=
 
I use a lot of OS's:
*[[wp:Slackware|Slackware]] [[Linux]] 1213.2 (because I don't like the changes made for v13)37
**Also [[wp:Red Hat Enterprise Linux|Red Hat Enterprise Linux]] on amy rackmount server I recently bought -- but only until I get around to putting something else on it... maybe Slackware, maybe not
*[[Windows]] [[wp:Windows XP|XP]]
*[[Windows]] [[wp:Windows XP|XP]] (I will not be spending money on another version of Windows, unless I happen to buy a computer that includes it. I bought at least one copy of every major version of Windows, from [[wp:Windows 1.0|1.x]] through [[wp:Windows Server 2003|Server 2003]]; that's enough, I think.)
**Also the free beta version of [[wp:Windows 7|Windows 7]] onand the[[wp:Windows newXP serverProfessional x64 Edition|WinXP x64]], justfor testing because.my Shrug.programs
***Win7 is ''way'' too slow on my system to be usable
*[[MS-DOS]] 7.1 (from [[wp:Windows 98SE98#Windows 98 Second Edition|Windows 98SE]])
*[[Mac OS]] 8
**Also [[wp:System 7|System 7]], on a different machine
Line 67 ⟶ 68:
* [[User:Eriksiers/My email|My email]]
* [[User:Eriksiers/Knapsack problem|Alternate (broken) VB solution to the unbounded knapsack problem]]
 
=Written Languages=
 
The only ''spoken'' language I am only able to understand is English, but I can bull my way through several different ''written'' languages (and of course, various online translators help a lot); most notably:
* Spanish, slowly (and incompletely)
* French (sorta)
* Latin (sorta)
* Japanese (pretty rusty)
* Russian (a bit)
 
Languages and/or alphabets on my "to learn" list:
* Chinese (dialect shouldn't matter, since they all use the same ''written'' language... in theory)
* Arabic (entirely cursive... sigh)
* Hebrew (um... I know "aleph")
* Thai (maybe)

=Quote of the Day=
It is possible to know so much about a subject that you become totally ignorant.
Hawking! I checked the math! 2 + 2 isn't 5, it's 6! 6!!!
