I've been told I write too much about computers. Opinions? Anyway, just one word of warning, and I'll stop talking about computers for this entry – I've been seeing problems with compatibility of old vs. new hard disks and controllers. Old hard drives + new controllers + 80 conductor cables tried to run the drive [...]

So, my $10 scanner arrived. Needed a new version of SANE, and I needed to grab the firmware out of their Windows driver (it's uploaded to the scanner when you go to use it). A little tweak to the hotplug scripts to set the permissions right and viola. It's faster too – it does 600dpi [...]

Liz's car and mine, buried in the snow.

Warning: 2.6.0-test11 does not play well with RedHat 9. I think the low-level tools are too old. When the modprobe's go off at boot for USB HID and IEEE1394, I get a bunch of QM_MODULES: function not implemented errors. I think the module stuff changed a bit for 2.6. I don't feel like messing with [...]

Sitting in the easy chair in the corner of Liz's house. I'm just not in the mood to sit in the living room and let my brain dribble though my ears watching inane TV. If the DOT would plow the roads, I'd go home and watch Sopranos. Oh well. The 2.6 is cool. The configuration [...]

So, my email is goofed again – outgoing stuff works, but incoming doesn't. People don't get bounce messages, they just don't get delivered. It's very odd. Anyway, we took the cats to the vet today. Clean bill of health. No feline lukemia, parasites, aids, etc. Mikey got the first round of his vaccines, and Arthur [...]

This day was better – My new hosting service got all my issues resolved and it seems to be working just fine – Since I decided to stay and work and just make sure that they pay me well, I've become a lot less annoyed. This company is not a few boys from RI trying [...]

This was just a day of suckage – My hosting service decided to suck again. Basically, they had to do something special so that I can send email. Problem is, every time their config service resets, it ends up killing the special thing. So, I can't send mail. So, it's time to get another hosting [...]

It worked, but as I installed and played more games: – Ascendancy – mouse based, mouse resolution too high, hard to control – Worms – same mouse problem as ascendancy – Doom – sound screwed up, too slow – Doom 2 – same as Doom – ROTT – same as dooms – Wolf3d – same [...]

At work today, we lost access to the world – the cable modem went down. This should have affected the network. Except, when their gateway dies, and the ethernet interface is still up, windows machines start to hammer the network with traffic. I have no idea what they are doing. However, most of the Windows [...]
