Well, it happened...my laptop has officially died. Just goes to show you, now matter how much you avoid windows, the hardware problems will always get you in the end.

I had a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 and apparently we have 3 other models that have the same problem I was having. Too much heat, not enough cooling. They are supposed to be going out for repairs today or tomorrow so we\'ll see what happens.

Currently, I am trying to decide whether I want another Debian install or to make the jump for Gentoo. Debian is the best as far as I am concerned but I am starting to hear alot about Gentoo. We\'ll see how my buddy Ray likes it as he is fighting his way through an install of Gentoo now. (I suppose a third choice could be a Mac if they decide to replace the laptops all together. Anything to avoid windows...)

In other news Carrie and I got to hit the water this weekend and went kayaking down the Yahara for a couple of hours on Saturday. It was a beautiful day but our arms were very tired and we both have some rather strange looking sunburns.

Finally, we are only a few weeks away from the big ultrasound. We\'ve decided not to find out what sort of bun is in the oven, but part of me really wants to know. I need some sort of release for all of this excitement. If I rely on Carrie\'s instinct...its a boy. We\'ll see, because she is quite often right about her instincts...
