Got Shock & Mutation by Robin Cook, from the ERA guy (Nice name). Its very hard to have a book & not read it (unless its something like Distributed Systems or Linux Kernel Internals) so I've started out with Shock.
I don't have a tarred gzipped version of j2sdk, which I need for Gentoo, so managing without Java support on Firebird for now. Launchcast is wonderful, but won't run on non-IE browsers, which so TOTALLY sucks. I'm down to trying emulators now...
Finally setup MySQL & phpMyAdmin on Gentoo, to get ERA working. Was procrastinating that for quite sometime. Roger Federer's match was interesting to watch, he beat David Nalbandian 3 sets to 1. I slept halfway through the match..& then watched the rest of the match along with Enemy At The Gates.
