Yesterday on my day off from work, I had decided to go on my usual routine of going to the movies with my cousin Ish. Since he works at the theatre, we get to see movies for free(most of the time). We had seen "Journey to the Center of the Earth", and it was a decent movie. After the movie, Ish had to go to work so I went off on my own.
I wound up going over to Staples to see what was new. I had
bought a Nvidia 6200 graphics card for about $80, because the old
5500 FX card just didn't cut it anymore for playing Second Life.
After installation, I cranked up the graphics settings on SL to see
how the "Windlight" technology holds up on the new card. To my
surprise, no more serious choppiness or lag that plaugued the old
card. Although I could have gotten a better card online, I'm happy
until Linden Lab decides to bump up the graphics again. 
And the nanoblogger projects mentioned in the title? First there's NBmenu.sh, a curses-based menu for managing blogs with nanoblogger. I've been actually working on it since I discovered SliTaz a while back. It's not as popular as my Sample Nautilus Scripts, but I like it. Also, I'm starting development on an XML-RPC server/client interface to nanoblogger. The big problem with developing it will be creating and editing entries on the client side and then transporting them to the server to be processed. Both the server and client programs will be written up in Python, and I will upload a first alpha soon so anyone can help test, debug, and contribute code. If you're interested in helping either NBMenu or NBWeb(the codename for the server/client project), feel free to drop me an email with [NBMenu] or [NBWeb] within the subject line. I could certainly use the help!
