It’s Seattle, not Seatle. (I live there now, so I have the right to be a dick about it. LOL.)
2. A nifty election-projection website (that you may already know about) is fivethirtyeight.com. Right now it’s estimating a 90% chance of Obama victory, with an estimated margin of over 100 EVs. Of course, there are still four weeks to go.
3. The password must have been a default, as failing memory sets things to random bit values, not zero. (Also, the ‘0’ key on the keyboard doesn’t correspond to ASCII zero.)
4. DHCP Umano is awesome.

Mudhoney and the Melvins are still around and making OK music… (although Melvins live in SF now I think) but as far as being a popular force you’re pretty much right.

Did the person whose couch you slept on have outdoor pets? Those may have been flea bites- my sister’s adopted stray cat had a habit of getting fleas and hence her old house had an infestation of them. They’re annoying, but pretty much just like mosquito bites- don’t do much harm and go away.

Glad you had a lot of fun in Italy.

News from the homefront: The Sox and Cubs both made the playoffs, but lost in the first round. The difference being that the Sox managed to win one game and the Cubs got swept. The other difference being the Sox barely snuck in and no one expected them to be there and everyone thought the Cubs would win it all- to the point where magazines and books were already available in stores celebrating “The Cubs history-making 2008 season”. Timing FAIL.

It’s too early to call, but this looks encouraging:

I missed the debate again, but I might watch it on Youtube. I tried watching the VP debate, but it was just frustrating and I gave up after 10 minutes. At least, some Republicans seem to be realizing Sarah Palin is basically Dan Quayle but substantially less qualified.
