I just saw this story on the news. This is happening exactly where i used to live.
Police: Serial Burglar Hits Sunnyvale
The Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety is seeking the public's help in solving a series of burglaries that began Nov. 1 in the city's southeast area.
The burglaries generally happen in the early evening hours, typically on a Friday or Saturday, when the burglar enters through open windows or back doors taking money and jewelry, the department reported.
The burglar apparently knows the difference between costume jewelry and valuable items.

No description of the suspect is available. The burglar has been working in residential areas south of Evelyn Avenue and east of Sunnyvale-Saratoga Road and as far south as the Sunnyvale city limit, the department reported.
Sunnyvale public safety officers are asking citizens to report all suspicious activity immediately.
NBC11's George Kiriyama is following this story and will have a live report tonight on NBC11 at 11 p.m.

beta.blogger.com
Well,.. I went ahead and joined the ranks of the beta.blogger.com users. And so far I like this a lot but only one problem -- There doesn't seem to be any way to upload pictures yet. So I guess if I have any pics to upload they will have to wait. Also there doesn't seem to be any way to format text. *sigh*
FROM THE SITE...
The new Blogger version will be available as invitation-only for the moment. "The Blogger in beta program is going to start out small, so only a low percentage of people who log in to Blogger will see the option to switch over. If you're one of them, you'll see a blue box in the sidebar of your dashboard highlighting the new Blogger in beta."
If you want to test the new Blogger by creating a new blog you can do that at beta.blogger.com. Here's a test blog created with the new platform and a tour that shows the new features.
I must say it's much faster to publish posts and upload pictures. Blogger also looks much better and it's more responsive. Although the advantages of the dynamic pages are obvious, it will be interesting to see if they will handle the traffic the same as the static pages. There's one area where I don't see improvements: the comment form is still on a separate page. All in all, the much expected Blogger update is one of the biggest Google news of the year.

Firefox 2.0 on Fedora Core 6
Note: As of today (November 30th 2006), for whatever reason Mozilla is not releasing a version of Firefox 2.0 that is compatible with FC6. That said, they are allowing an untested beta version to be installed. Here's how to get it...
1> Log in as root:
2> Download and install it:
3> Enjoy. I've been using it and it seems to work fine. Not sure about security issues but it does seem stable enough.

$ su root
2> Download and install it:

Things are starting to look good
So today I got my midterm grade back. I only got a C but that's fine with me because I thought I did much worse. The class is UNIX Shell Programming. Anyway, at the time I think I just studied way too much and burnt out my brain cells. But over the Thanksgiving holiday, I was able to have a more relaxed approach to my studies and figured out a lot of things I wasn't really getting before. Anyway, hopefully I can get a B in the class as long as I do well on the final. Well,.. time to go get some sleep now because starting tomorrow I will begin my final 2 week stretch to finish this class and I must master this stuff before the final exam.
