I think Mozilla can get really confused on downloads. I never noticed that on linux, but then I don't download big files that often. I think that started happening at about the 2GB mark, which makes sense if they're using 32bit numbers. They should probably fix that as more people get broadband or use local networks these days. I should have known it wouldn't display right when it had no clue of the file length or estimated time when it started.
Thursday night Dave and I watched The Bourne Identity (the new mangled 2002 version). He didn't remember much of what was in it and afterwards we determined that was because he hadn't seen the whole thing. That movie has a well mixed soundtrack, and good environmental effects. Plus it has a DTS soundtrack to actually take advantage of it. Nothing quite like gunshots and explosions at reference levels. Well, other than the real thing that is.
Friday was System Administrators Appreciation day. Seemed like any other day to me, although I was mainly doing little cleanup tasks. Did some group cleanup in Active Directory. I still have a ton more to do there before school starts. Like building all the departmental areas on our main file server. I did request a lot of database access permissions though, and Dave got them all set up. I completed two automated data sync projects, with architecture in place for another once some other stuff is in place. This will also allow me to start getting the list server stuff together too (finally).
Saturday was relaxing. I saw this article over at slashdot which was interesting. I've always thought something like that would be cool to do (basically like movie night, but outside). Not as an invite-the-public type thing, but just with a bunch of friends some weekend or something. The bugs in MN make it a bit of a pain to pick a location though. Anyone have any good ideas?
And crap - that download died. Seems when the number reached 0 (about 4GB), Mozilla crapped out. And wget -c doesn't like continuing at that stage, so I may be downloading again. :( While I was writing this I was poking around on my computer a bit, looking to find the big space consumers. I think the winner is iDVD. 1.09GB for a single App (that I'll maybe use once or twice)? What the heck?!? After a backup to DVD I think that one is going through the rip out most themes inside it process.
