Today is the first day of the Spring semester at Cleveland State 
University.  I'm taking one class (as usual) this semester: 
Econometrics.  I'm actually excited to start classes.  but the strange 
thing about Economics is that I enjoy the classes (usually) throughout 
the semester.  When I was getting my engineering masters degree, I hated 
attending class.  Economics is a bit more interesting.  I really should 
have done this from the start.

My wife is taking her last class this semester before she graduates.  
Sadly, her class is on Wednesday nights, while mine is on Tuesday and 
Thrusday nights, which is a real bummer.  I guess the plus side is that
, when she has school, I can watch movies that she does not want to see.  
For example, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is playing at the 
Armstrong household this Wednesday, starting at approximately 5:30PM.

I did get my new Linux machine up and running.  I truly love Debian.  My 
AMD Athlon 2000+ flies with Debian sarge installed.  After fighting with 
the ATI graphics drivers, I now have OpenGL, letting me play Doom 3.  
Awesome!  I'll have to post the directions to get the ATI drivers 
installed since it is not an easy task, and i actually ran into some 
problems that were hardly addressed anywhere.

That's all for now...

Adios,
Jeff
