Sad Songs and Waltzes

Well, I’m back after surviving another Christmas!

Mom, Dad, you’ve probably experienced it already, but when you get back in expect a log of love from Scotty (cat). When I went in I accidently let one food bowl get empty and I was treated to the royal telling off, followed by a lot of scritchin’, meowing, and requests for head scratches and love.

Some computer updates: I’ve had a couple of weird crashes, so today a nice new shiny chassis fan got added (with a bit of force I admit). That and I also now have kernel 2.4.0-test12, patched for reiserfs [archive.org link] (and using that on all but “/”), as well as the latest nVidia drivers for the GeForce2. Still no luck with getting quake working yet.

Reiserfs was fun though…. lots of time spent watching the copying of files back and forth between scratch partitions and real partitions. Lots of fun. But things are pretty much set here I think.

Oh, and thanks for the tip cuv, freeamp [archive.org link] is pretty cool!

Can’t wait till the LAN party on Saturday! Whohohooo! Fraggin’ and chicken cesear!!

Ever notice that the only times you speak directly to your toilet are

  1. When you are puking your guts out and asking it for forgiveness and promising you’ll never do this again.
  2. When it’s plugged up and the water is raising and you’re asking it “stop, please stop, please for the love of $DEITY stop, no higher, please, no higher…”

Food for thought huh?
