Sid is the name of the release of Debian GNU/Linux(http://www.debian.org) that I run on all my Linux systems. It has amazing package management and is very robust, usually. However, Sid is the unstalbe version of Debian, where the newest and greatest software is introduced into the distribution. Of course, this causes problems at times, such as this morning. Due to the uploading of Perl 5.8.0 into the Sid distribution, lots of other packages that were dependent on Perl 5.6.1 would not work, and would have to be uninstalled from the computer. Since it was early still, I didn’t notice this at all, until some of my software wasn’t working. At least its back online now. I managed to use this as an excuse to go onto IRC for a bit. I miss the good old IRC days in high school and college. Maybe its time to take a look at it again.In other news, the deposits for my stereo have been paid. I’ll have the fun new gear next weekend, just in time for Labor Day Weekend.Tomorrow promises to be interesting; supposedly, I’ll finally have real work to occupy my time. I’ll believe it when I see it.
