I found a great source of information for troubleshooting problems with PT Cruisers.

I also found out that you can query the car for troubleshooting error codes by turning the key from off to on (without actually starting the car) rapidly three times. If it displays "done" there are no codes.
Here are the code definitions: http://www.ptcruizer.com/computer-codes.html
The Christmas Tom & Jerry's we serve are a shot of rum, a shot of brandy, hot water and topping with a sprinkle of nutmeg. The batter as it is called is a bit more complicated so I am not sure you want to tackle it unless you have a Kitchenaid mixer (makes it easy) - you separate 6 egg whites and yolks, beat separately, keep beating as you s-l-o-w-l-y add the yolks into the stiff egg whites. Next, you add close to 2 lbs. powdered sugar slowly as you keep beating, add halfway a shot of rum and 1/4 tsp. baking soda. Add about 2 more lbs.
For people that use Cygwin and xterms, I found a good configuration adjustment. When using "ssh" to log into remote Linux machines, I need to set the "Meta Sends Escape" option for Emacs-style command line shortcuts as well as running within Emacs, because the "meta" (alt) keystroke seems not to be sent through ssh correctly.
I discovered that to make this behavior the default, you need to edit:
/etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm
and add the following line:
*metaSendsEscape: true
I'm in Omaha with Jim and Tony! We had a great time last night with the MacDissis. :)
There was an interesting article on Slashdot yesterday about Hacking Our Five Senses and Building New Ones that contained some interesting links about new types of input to our brains.
I've posted a brewing calendar that I'm reproducing from Northern Brewer magazine (until they put an online version to which I can link), as well a complete brewing calendar from a post by wild on Home Brew Talk.
Brewers enjoy!
These are cool electronics that I want to get and play around with.

I really just can't shut up about Emacs these days...
So I found the best thing ever, for Emacs dorks - xkeymacs! It allows you to use Emacs keystrokes to navigate Windows, Email, Word, etc. It really makes my life easier!
I've really been loving GNU Emacs lately. I finally made the switch from XEmacs because of too many little flaky problems, and I have no regrets. If you are into Emacs, you can check out my .emacs file at:
