Watched Sean Connery's "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" last night. It started out great, but got more and more ridiculous as it progressed. While I liked it (I've always been a sucker for special effects), I had high hopes for this film, but alas, it only turned out to be "okay" in my book. Oh, well.

Tried burning the Knoppix ISO CD image files to CD-RW today - didn't work with the built-in Windows XP function. Tried again, using "file2cd.exe", a 32-bit DOS program from Goldenhawk Technology - didn't work (despite it's claims that it supports burning ISO images). Tried again, this time using the demo version of "Nero 6" - which worked great. Yeah!

I think I've changed my mind on the Diet Rite cola flavor (as far as my preferences order goes), so I now order them thusly: Red Raspberry (my favorite), Tangerine, Cola, and Kiwi Strawberry (my least favorite).

Tried out Knoppix Linux (with X11 and KDE) from CD today - everything worked great. Got to finally see how the web looks through Konqueror - very weird. I think it's extremely cool that you have a nearly fully-functioning OS on a bootable CD. You don't even need to install it anymore! Kudos to Knoppix for this fine free product.
