This is truly a sad story. In December, this girl was feeling ill. By the end of January, she has no hands, no feet, and she is dead.

From the BBC…

The hospital in Brazil’s Espirito Santo state said she died from complications related to a generalised infection.

Mariana Bridi was said to have first sought medical help in December when she felt unwell. It was reported that medical staff initially thought she had kidney stones, before she was later diagnosed with a urinary infection, caused by a rare type of bacteria.

My heart goes out to her family.

For anyone who cares and is paying attention, this is the last few episodes of Sci-Fi’s Battlestar Galactica series. The original story has been raped so badly that it’s almost unrecognizable so perhaps it is fitting to just stop making any more episodes.

I’m not saying that this series has been bad. It really has been a wild ride. It’s like you started riding the ferris wheel and end up getting off of the tilta whirl.

It wasn’t what you expected. It wasn’t bad. It just wasn’t the bill of goods you were expecting. The original Battlestar Galactica storyline was amazingly simple and I suppose that’s why it worked so well. This version seems like something that they created just because they got the money and could. I think Richard Hatch should have been given the chance. I’m just saying.

The first episode of the last half of the season for Battlestar Galactica has claimed it’s first victim.

An estranged husband and wife decide to go out together and share stories and a drink or two. They kiss each other goodnight and the wife appears as though she’s floating on air with a big smile on her face.

She stands at her locker while removing her jewelry and then…

…shoots herself in the head.

Goodbye Dee.

Starbuck has to be a Cylon. She can’t be but she has to be?

Tigh’s dead wife is the 5th? Yeah. Sure. Whatever.

I was able to figure out what my internet connectivity problem was by looking at something that someone else had done.

He was using the exact same program (Sun’s VirtualBox) but he had his ethernet setting on something other than the default. It caught my attention. I changed my setting to his and viola!

I have been playing with it for a day now and so far I like what I see.

I’ll give a more thorough report when I can.
