So, I was busy this weekend. It's Liz's birthday today, but we celebrated basically all this weekend. Friday we had dinner and I gave her the hard drive. Saturday I went shopping for food and booze, and we had a party at her place. Our friends came over, and my brother made it. It was [...]

I think I found out why the RAID array was shitting itself – it was the PCI bridge card. Searching around, I came up with this: http://lists.insecure.org/lists/linux-kernel/2002/Nov/6241.html Basically, there is some issue with the IRQ mapping through the bridge, and it only gets fixed in 2.5/2.6 (Yarrow comes with 2.4.22). But, it's supposed to be [...]

So, I installed Fedora Core 1 (Yarrow) given my issues with Debian. I like it – it's basically an updated redhat 9, with a spot more polish. Installed just fine, but the RAID array was having issues; I would copy data to it and it would become angry at me. It might be because I [...]

So, I swapped drives with the Wintendo, and now everything is okay. But, Debian won't give me any love – doing a bf24 installation and it [...]

Any other Unix or other OS's work too. I wonder who is paying their bills. Direct neural control of computers Can someone say datajacks? [...]

Took some pictures this weekend with Liz. This one of Mikey is especially cute: In keeping with the Gibson/Stephenson Cyberpunk novels, this one will be named YT (Hiro's partner from Snow Crash). This brings the naming up to: Hiro (Laptop) – Protagonist from Snow Crash Case (Workstation) – Protagonist from Neuromancer Molly (HTPC) – Case's [...]

Work was rough; more setting of realistic deadlines only to have the powers that be come by and push them up a week, forcing us to reprioritize. But, enough about that. Liz cooked a wonderful pork tenderloin. Garlic, cumin, wine sauce, yum yum. The wine was a Sakonnet Vineyards Vidal Blanc. Liz says that it [...]
