Well, I guess technically I have until 5:30pm PST, but still, it’s past midnight, so I’m on the right date now. Not surprisingly, I don’t feel that different. Had some people over. I was a bit worried, as it seemed like most who I invited either had other things, couldn’t or whatever, but while it […]

< p>Wow, I did not expect that. Cat5, my fiend and cohort bestowed upon me the birthday gift of a lovery computer case! Dude, you rock, thank you so much. He had to run out on me soon after, but about 15 minutes after he left, arcterex.net went down for a bit, bits from the

Some strangeness on ufies last night. All my inbox dissapeared, and then I got an email from a guy saying that his had gone too. Very strange, lucky I had backups. Course, due to limited hard drive space I only have room for a couple. I’ve implemented a dual system now, where backups go to

First of all, a one day belated birthday shout out to kethryvis, who had a birthday yesterday (which I missed, because I suck). Hope you had a great one Keth! Managed to get some ut in with the boys last night for a bit. It was good to get back into it and do a

Remember when you are trying to set up bootable RAID on a system that the raid options must be compiled into the kernel, not modules. Remember even more that your SCSI drivers must be in the kernel as well, and not modules, or you’ll spend a day bashing your head against the desk, and end

I’m very proud of myself. Yesturday, in the space of about an hour, I managed to assemble a reasonably working computer from parts I had lying around. Actually, I’m not sure if I should be ashamed of my packratishness or not 🙂 It is sans-case, but thanks to the donation of a 250w power supply
