Our new child, Delilah?

For some time now, our answering machine has had a message, saying that "you've reached the home of Jade, Kate, and Delilah." Recently, this message has taken an added significance for some people. My wife is expecting a baby any day now, and we've now received two messages congratulating us on our baby girl, Delilah.

Delilah is actually our cat! The baby hasn't been born yet.

I've made some improvements to the Exercise Motivator, including an ability to remove yourself from the Motivator, a better signup process, the ability to have multiple Motivators, and some general UI cleanup.

You also can now see your exercise reminders from the main page of Rubick.com if you are signed in.

Fedora Core 3 crashing

I don't know what's doing it, but a couple of times today, my Fedora Core 3 linux laptop has completely locked up. I can't even log in or get to a terminal to kill services...

Looks like the hard disk got corrupted a bit as well.

It turns out the swap partition was corrupted, and not mounting. I was getting my system load up to about 60, which is the highest I've ever seen.

I fixed it by using mkswap on the partition, and sudo /sbin/swapon /dev/hda5
