I’m going to be available for a discussion on various space topics in Second Life this afternoon, 5 PM PDT (this evening for people farther east), with Rocket Sellers. She’ll provide additional detail in comments here.

Back From Florida
But taking a day off to rest from my “vacation.”
Meanwhile, go read my CEI colleague Iain Murray’s thoughts on the hidden tax and the cost of federal regulations.
Buried
I spent the weekend visiting relatives in Columbia, MO, and then got up at five this morning to fly down to West Palm Beach, where the rest of the week will be consumed with getting a house ready to rent in Boca. So don’t be shocked if blogging is light. I was up until midnight last night with the emergency response to the latest Loren Thompson libel, but don’t have time for a lot else.
Off The Air
…Because I’ll be in the air. Actually, the flight to St. Louis will probably have wi-fi, but I don’t know if I’ll bother to spring for the ten bucks. I have some reading to catch up on. Also, ever since American narrowed their seat pitch, it’s been a pain to use a laptop.
Keeping The Lights On
Thanks to whoever bought new struts for their car, and the Wii stuff (and others) through my Amazon link. Every little bit of income helps these days.
Off To The Land Of Lincoln
No, not that one, the one of the Cornhuskers. I’m attending and speaking at a conference at the University of Nebraska on space law and regulation, so blogging may be light, depending on facilities and schedule. I may check out my new WordPress app from the airport in ChicagoDFW, though.
Firefox Crash
I’m running Fedora 14. Firefox just crashed after running a pingtest, so badly that it crashed the entire X session, and I had to log in again. After I did, Firefox wouldn’t run. This is the relevant dump from dmesg:

I tried removing firefox and reinstalling, and npviewer isn’t a package. But still no joy. Does anyone have any idea what to do? Maybe reinstall flash?
[Update a while later]
I deleted the .mozilla folder, and it seems to be OK now. It even preserved my tabs.
Back To LA
On the road again. The Space Access conference was good, as usual. Check in tonight.
Thanks For The Warning!
Nothing like checking through email and getting a notice from Dotster that the domain of your blog is expiring today because the credit card info needs updating. It probably would have cost them a lot more to email me a couple weeks ago. I mean, they only charge fifty percent more than the competition.
I’ve got to move off that domain to GoDaddy.
Blogging Break
We’re driving up to Stinson Beach for the weekend, so things may be light until Monday night.
