Well, back to 2.2.18. I had a few crashes and freezes and kernel panics with the setup described below, so I’m at 2.2.18, with the UltraDMA IDE and Reiserfs patchs applied. Seems cool, I can finally play quake again! The main thing that sucks is that the version of Reiserfs differed between 2.2.18 and 2.4.0-test* patches, so I had to play partition juggling and throw data back and forth on my spare partition so I could convert all the 3.6 reiserfs partitions to 3.5. I hope that this little detail is rectified RSN, because when they release 2.4.0 I’ll be switching to that (once everything is stable) and I don’t want to do this again.
So the LAN party is tomorrow, and I’m stocked. Sucks that everyone is sick. I hope that I don’t get sick too, though depending on how my work hell-month of Jan goes it might be a welcome break for a couple of days.
Saw Fantasy Mission Force [archive.org link] with Brad today. It was possibly the worst movie ever. On a scale of 0-10 (no negative numbers allowed) I give it 0.00000000000000000000001. The only reason it got that high is Jackie Chan is in it and fights well and does one or two mildly amusing things. Of course, to quote my friend Ard on IRC: “<Ardaniel> anything is good when it’s not Fantasy Mission Force.”
Ah well, off to cut my toenails and then bed!
