Pondering the Imponderable -- 2:08 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

I finally got some software to work with my APC Back-UPS Office 500 in Linux. APC's Linux software supports all their uninterruptible power supplies except the Back-UPS Office. Thankfully I found this open source APC UPS Daemon which works like a charm. Why open source software can support it but APC's own can't is beyond me, but hey, it works. I even tested it the hard way (i.e. pull the plug and wait).

And yes, the NFL pre-season gets officially underway with tonight's Monday Night Football game! I'd best start doing some research since my fantasy football draft is coming up soon. I'll have to try to talk Eeyore into predicting the games again this year.

In the "And you thought The Phantom Menace was a dumb title" department, the title for the next Star Wars movie has been announced. You might want to sit down. It will be Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. *cough* I suppose Lucas could have called it Send in the Clones.

The Master comments: Eeyore's picks for this week: Hall-of-Fame game: Dolphins; Week 1 Preseason: Jaguars, Lions, Giants, Seahawks, Titans, Jets, Packers, Broncos, 49ers, Raiders, Bills, Redskins, Eagles, Bucs.
