Morning thread. the hunt for red october is on. always a personal favorite of mine.



Yeah - i just finished watching that as well... then took the dogs for a walk... they got less than 1/3 of the way into a normal walk and they gave out... i had to carry one for a while... the older dog started a wheezing noise (never heard that before)... they are resting now...

About 1/2 of the yards i passed showed some flooding from the rain - looks more like Beaumont than Dallas... VERY humid - sun is intense... probably get more thunderstorms later... i am about to go out and tackle the grass with the mower/tractor...

You are right - the tractor got bogged down in mud twice, and i was almost done cutting the front lawn when the skies opened up...

You know the solution to that is to get a bigger tractor.

Status: offline 		What, you ask, is ficus ruminales?

Funny you should ask:

The Ficus Ruminalis was a wild fig tree on the Palatine Hill in ancient Rome near the Lupercal on the Palatine. This tree was said to be sacred to the goddess Rumina. It is also the spot where tradition said the trough containing Romulus and Remus landed on the banks of the Tiber and were reared by a she-wolf.

Tradition said that this tree was removed by the augur Attus Navius and thenceforth stood on the Comitium. Ovid states that only vestigia remained on the original spot in his day, but Livy, in telling the story of the twins, says that the Ogulnii, aediles in 296 B.C., erected a monument that represented the twins and wolf, ad ficum ruminalem. It has also been suggested that the Plutei of Trajan are from a small enclosure wall built around the Ficus Ruminalis and a statue of Marsyas.

It is possible that the site continued to be called Ficus Ruminalis, after the tree itself had disappeared. Ruminalis, according to one view, is to be connected with Ruma the Etruscan, the name from which Rome and Romulus are derived.

The Romans themselves, however, derived it from ruma, rumis, breast; and Herbig has put forward the view that "Roma" is the Latinised form, and as a proper name means "large-breasted," i.e. strong or powerful.

When the tree began to droop in 58AD it was seen as a bad portent for Rome.

It hadn't rained in a day but the grass underneath was still real wet. I'm gonna have to jack my mower up and clean it out before I use it again.

Status: offline 		A question for my Thread bretheren. I have an old pentium machine running Windows 98 in my basement (purchased about 2001). I am contemplating pithching the machine or possibly trying to turn it into a multimedia server.

If I went the multimedia direction I would need to upgrade the CD player to a DVD player. I have a spare external HD I could plug in. The issue would be the OS. I doubt the machine has enough power to run Windows XP much less the new Vista. However, I might be able to run Unix. Anyone have experience trying to run Unix on an older comp? Should I just pitch the old computer? Any thoughts?

Where's Mynok when I need him.

It will run most flavors of unix/linux but i doubt it will be that useful as a multimedia machine. What is the processor speed and how much ram does it have?
