There is a phrase from the trip to visit that was noted as “LJ-worthy”. For the life of me, I can’t remember it.

Routers are stupid-easy to set up via web interfaces. Well, at least Netgear made-for-cable-modem-and-DSL routers are. Now I’m going to have to see if I can tweak it and mess with it. Any suggestions, ?

Yesterday was a good day all around, really. Thank you, , , , and . I’m tellin’ you, though, those Li’l Chef fries were undercooked.

Time to learn about RAID technology from Apple. Wonder if they’ve got anything I don’t know yet.

You’re a Normal. This doesn’t necessarily mean you
are dull and conformative (although it might).
It might just mean you’re a little bit of
everything, which isn’t bad.

What type of subculture are you, really?

I know I got sleep last night. I got quality sleep. I’m still tired. This annoys me a great deal.

Rackmount servers are the shit, but why have one in a home? Better to use older machines for things like linux-based routers, and get a minitower or tower rack for the closet.

I think my lunch break will include much Robert Jordan.

Cable modem has been wonderfully re-installed. They took the RCA. They dropped off a Motorla Surfboard. Dig it. No more multiple IP’s. They say that if customers want to run their own network, they can, they just need to get a router and set up NAT themselves. *blink* They’re not only allowing it, they’re encouraging it.

Anyone want to recommend a decently-priced multi-port router with NAT for me?

Oh. And I have an interview for a tech job on Saturday with GarbCo, 7-Eleven’s parent company. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

There’s a slight pressure originating from inside my noggin that presses outward. This is a grogginess thing that usually goes away when I take a shower. I should take a shower.

I’ve removed Linux from my machine. I’m sorry, , but RedHat 7.2 just wasn’t working like I needed it to. One of my main apps looks like it will only run under windows, and I don’t really want to go to the trouble of having both OS’s on a 6-gig drive. I’d have to log out for the damn thing to unmount my zip drive as well. Just too much.

Today is likely to be a bit of a tilt-o-whirl. Hopefully the cotton candy and hot dogs won’t come back up on me. I swear there’s something wierd about this . Heheheheheh.

said she’d fork me. But only if I pissed her off. Day-umn! :)

Linux has made me realize how much of an American I am. I am getting all fussy because things are different from the way I’m used to them. Because they’re foreign to me. Some people say that configuring Linux and dealing with the oddities is fun. I think they’re insane. It’s hell. But it is worth it. The ability to smoothly move among different platforms and different cultures is much more gratifying than the ease of having everything be the same. Windows and Mac os’s (9 and X… they’re really completely different countries) isn’t enough. I need to be worldly in my OS familiarity.

I need to shave.

I didn’t get any cleaning or shopping or writing done yesterday. Grrr. Today is the StoryTeller meeting. I should really get it done today.

I’m going to a rave soon. >:) Check this out. It’ll be the first in a long time. E-mail me if you’re planning on going. :) *hop*

I got a friendship bracelet yesterday. First time since I was, like, ten. It’s purple and black and dark blue. The same colors as the only “candy bracelet” I have. I also got two letters, one wich struck me speechless.

It’s a beautiful day outside. Overcast, light rain, with an alternating menacing darkness. It’s threatening to thunderstorm, and I’m calling it out. We need the rain pretty badly.

The new ethernet card works perfectly and is TINY. Did a net install of Linux, and it flew. RedHat 7.2, Gnome, and Ximian. Red Carpet is the b0mbx0r or something. I’m still stuck in the days where funky text was capitalizing either every other letter or just the vowels. This number shit is wacky. Heh. Anyway, the computer is happily running, and I’m wondering if I can do structural damage with my six-year-old dead ethernet card.

Laundry and AfterNow were good. The marinated pork chops and potatos were very tasty. I have enough left overs for at least two more meals, maybe three.

The is getting posts again. I did some pretty good writing for it last night. Yay for melodrama! :)

Tonight, after work:
-Oil change for the car.
-Purchase a hat.
-Wash dishes.
-Clean bathroom.
-Set up printer and Wine (windows environment for Linux) and cross my fingers.
