I have a sinus infection.

I'm trying to get rid of some of my computers, so I set one up, and restore it to working conditions. Yay for stupid ideas.

I hate x86 hardware. I hate not having complete drivers for my hardware. I hate having a beautiful monitor, and considering throwing it out, because it might not fit in the closet when I...

we finished moving a few weeks ago (like 6-8 weeks ago).

somehow, during the move. my i386 workstation's harddrive had its geometry changed. From LBA to 'regular'. Whenever I change it back, it totally fucks up the geometry, to impossible values (I don't have 8 billion sectors in the first 250M of the disk, thank you very much). So I had to wipe and re-install....

We're moving. Like nowish. The wife started moving stuff while I was at work, now we're taking a food break, and we plan on moving the rest of our room tonight. Her parents are bringing a trailer with the rest of our wedding presents, and helping us move the big stuff. Yay! our own place.

Started the DSL move, and since my ISP is cool,...

I think I might get Gir, wearing his dog suit, but with the hood down. Maybe not. I'm gonna think about it, since it will be on me forever.

I need to de-slack. I'm so lazy. I have so many projects I want to work on, but when I go to sit down with them, I get (maybe) 10 minutes of work done per hour....

Dude, those eyes, that sexy smile. *drool*

If you figure out how to de-slack, let me know, babe?

I love you!
thepromdate:
yes..classic is better than a pc any day. but still....i guess it's because i never had a mac before 10. and yes, it's the same, but it isn't. for the same reason i don't like using other people's computers, even if it's the same as mine. ok. i'm lame.

I got my labret pierced yesterday (hmm, I should update my profile). Didn't hurt at all, and (thankfully) the girl pierced me on "2", not "3". Well, she didn't count, but she had me lay back, clamped my lip, put the cork on the inside of the lip, and gave me the instructions. She said she was going to tell me to breath in through...

I'm technical support for an 90% Mac shop, and there is nothing for me to do (since macs are so stable. This week I have literally: fixed a suck "6" key (whack the ckeyboard a few times), scrolled someone's screen to the left (they couldn't see an arrow), canceled an order that accidently went through twice.). Monday, I added about 40 pictures to my background...

I love you! kiss And I miss you. As much as you know I adore my mom, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to survive a whole week out here. surreal I hope you're having lots of fun. Oh, and on a side note, you remember that song that you said would make people cry? My mom cried when she heard it. You're so smart. biggrin

I just got back from Calgary. Went to C2K3, the annual Hackathon for OpenBSD.. 8 days of hacking and alcohol. Plenty of non-sleep happening. I leanred more about the internals of Unix machines, and how the dynamic linker (ld.so) work. Kick ass.

I received a neat tee-shirt from it. Gave instructions to a cabbie (or a local) to send us to the right place if...

What did all of that just mean? lol
phessler:
Well, the short version is: DARPA (Defense Department's Research funding arm) had agreed to give OpenBSD 2.3 million dollars for a 2 year contract. That contract is up this Fall. Theo de Raadt (the leader of OpenBSD) was interviewed about this grant, about 3 weeks ago. During this interview he made some anti-war statements ("I sleep better knowing that this means half a cruise missle won't be built"). DARPA heard this, and pulled the money. Every May, there is a developers conference, of which I was invited to go to (It started today). DARPA contacted the hotel where we were to be staying, canceled the reservations, THEN contacted the OpenBSD group. The cancellation charge for this event? 80%. And DARPA will not allow us to cover the remaining 20%.

I reccently switched jobs. See, I live in San Francisco, and I was commuting out to Pleasanton, every day. I hated it. 20hours/week commuting, that is a real part-time job at some coffee shop or somethink. So, I post my resume up on CraigsList, and this guy emails me, and says he may have a job for me. I respond, and check it out, and...
