Well, it seems that the cat is out of the bag now. These picures along with a list of specifications of the Nikon D200 were leaked yesterday on the net and posted to several photography sites around the net. Note that the specs are not official. In fact, none of this is official since Nikon has not announced anything as of yet.

A good friend of mine, Erik Brown from the Center for High Performance Computing at the Univeristy of Utah where they have several Linux HPC Clusters has just informed me that Bill Gates will be the Keynote speaker at Supercomputing 2005.

How ironic.

I updated virtual0.mecworks.com to SuSE 10 last night. Things always take a lot longer than you think they will. I started at about 8:30pm and ended about 2:30am. The issues involved were the fact that I had to work around updating the system when I had no DVD drive and no USB 2.0 bus.

On Tuesday this week, I went to my sister’s place for dinner with my family up in Park City, UT. It was my birthday and we had a great time being together and eating dinner. My sister fixed a low-carb pumpkin cheesecake. I asked her for the recipe and she pointed me to this blog entry where she got it.

Spent just over an hour on the tainer this eveing. It felt good to be on the trainer again after almost a week off to mend my sore throat. The weekend was somewhat uneventful apart from the muffins…I was hoping to do something with Carrie but it appears that that won’t happen now….I’ll be spending more time on the trainer than I had probably planned :(

I’ve been eating a low carb diet for a couple years now and I am constantly on the lookout for good food that is low in high-impact carbs. I decided that I wanted to make some muffins and looking around, I saw that I had some Bob’s Red Mill 10-grain Cereal mix with a recipe on the side for muffins. I replaced some of the ingredience and this is what I came up with. Since the 10-grain cereal is not entirely low-carb, these are “lower-carb” muffins.

Seeing as I’m not yet over my sore throat and it’s getting colder outside, I spent 40 minutes on my trainer this evening. I’ll be getting used to it since the daylight is getting shorter and the weather is cooler. I also suddently have more stress in my life and will need more time on the bike to sort things out and deal with it. While on the trainer, I watched two episodes of Seinfeld from my box set of seasons 1-3. At least there’s some things I can laugh at still.

Carrie and I spent part of this past Saturday and Sunday together. We watched the first part of the LDS semi-anual conference then went hiking and finished listening to the second half in the afternoon. On Sunday she came over for the afternoon session which we watched in High Def…so cool. I had to run up to my parent’s place for a family dinner after that. We had a great time.
