I usually don't do these, but here ya go: Current Mood:  okay | | Wednesday, February 2nd, 2005 | | 10:44 am |
goodness I got my hard drives, mousepad, and ram late last week. Now I have lots of hard drive space. On the 160 gig drive I'm planning on sticking a bunch of other operating systems on it. Windows (uck, uck....but that's where the games are), some various distros of Linux (I already use FreeBSD), and whatever else catches my fancy.

sickness and neat-o-ness I've been really sick lately with some sort of freak cold or something worse. I've had headaches, sore throat, stuffy noise and shivers. Last thursday night I had some very strange dreams that were probably caused by it. I've been getting better, but just to be annoying my nose decided to bleed a lot too. I was getting a few bloody noses a day so I went to the campus health center, but they were closed. I didn't have any bloody noses ...yesterday (being today just started a half hour ago). I'm feeling better at least, but my throat is still a little sore. The neat-o-ness is that I ordered some hard drives, a mousepad, some ram and headphones from newegg and they should arrive by this friday. :) Now for bed, because I should get some sleep. I do have class I plan on going to. Current Mood: okay | | Friday, December 10th, 2004 | | 6:25 pm |
new case! I got my new case. It's totally awesome. Current Mood: happy | | Wednesday, December 8th, 2004 | | 1:29 pm |
nsis/case/email address I've been trying to get nsis (an installer generator for windows) to work completely under FreeBSD, but no dice. (mingw32-gcc (as a cross compiler) + nsis = building and packaging windows software without using windows) ( Read more... )qwest is being annoying again. My email is being hosted by a machine at my parents house with the net connection being qwest. Something strange is happening there, and it appears it is qwest's fault this time. Half the time I give out that email address, and half the time I give out my sf.net address (which just redirects to the first address). Fortunately, I can change where my sf.net address redirects to. So now it redirects to my gmail address, and with the ability to use POP3 to receive mail from gmail means I don't have to deal with the horrible variable width fonts gmail likes to use :). Also, newegg got my check yesterday for my new case, but I didn't find out until today because it was trying to go to my normal (but down) email address. It looks like my old power supply got clogged with dust, which is a problem I don't think I'll have this time. (Plus, the power supply had unusually small heatsink on it, so it was much easier for it to overheat). Oh yeah, finals are coming up too, which is annoying.

Well, my power supply decided to eat itself. Upon getting back to my dorm room, I plugged in my computer. I thought I smelled a sort of burning rubber, but I wasn't sure. My roommate thought he could smell it too, but only faintly. The smell slowly got worse, and I went downstairs to get a drink. I come back up, and the smell is even worse, and my computer is off. Turned out my power supply had died, but fortunately the guy on the otherside of the hallway had an extra one. Current Mood:  annoyed | | Monday, November 8th, 2004 | | 2:35 pm |
meow ... Well, what would -you- say if -you- hadn't posted anything in a while? I think meow works perfectly. Current Mood:  productive | | Friday, August 6th, 2004 | | 11:40 pm |

yay, I did good! I got a 4 on the AP Calculus Test (BC) I'm so amazed with myself. I thought I did horrible and I even left one of the free response questions practically blank. Current Mood: happy | | Saturday, July 24th, 2004 | | 11:39 pm |
I'm back! I'm back from my long trip of doom. I'm still alive. I had a whole bunch of things I thought I'd actually put in my livejournal, but I forgot what they were. Maybe tomarrow when I'm rested and I remember. Current Mood:  chipper | | Saturday, July 10th, 2004 | | 8:15 am |
Well..
I'm shutting off my computers in a bit. I'll be back in 2 weeks.
Into the wilderness of computerlessness I go.
Well, I still have a laptop at least.

trip-o-matic This saturday, I am going on a trip to visit relatives. I will be gone 2 weeks. Yay. I posted something vaguely useful. Current Mood: okay | | Friday, July 2nd, 2004 | | 7:49 am |
What the hell? I got a pretty good laugh out of this one. So..somehow my spouse is Gerald, Gerald has an affair with packy, and as a result I have an affair with Gerald? | | Monday, June 21st, 2004 | | 8:32 am |

lookit me!  You're a Spirograph!! You're pretty tripped out, even though you've been known to be a bit boring at times. You manage to serve your purpose in life while expending hardly any effort (and are probably stoned to the gills all the while). What childhood toy from the 80s are you? brought to you by Quizilla Current Mood:  quixotic | | Tuesday, June 8th, 2004 | | 11:01 am |
hard drive update (and hopefully last) Got my replacement hard drive yesterday. I'm reinstalling everything and restoring my backups, so yeah. I tried to get data off the dead one even though there wasn't much chance, but no such luck. But hey, backups work too. Current Mood: happy | | Tuesday, June 1st, 2004 | | 7:47 pm |
hard drive update Continuing my sudden out of characterness by actually posting real useful information, here is an update on my dead hard drive.
How it happened: I have had some random file system corruption since I got the drive, but it was rare and files that weren't very hard to replace. Since I was backing up semi-regularly, I didn't worry -too- much about it.
Last night it finally died with the click of death. In other words it died and started making a repetitive clicking noise (I believe this is an Hitachi drive). The computer froze (no mouse response) (or at least X froze, but the clicking alarmed me, so I shut it off).
Upon starting it back up, the clicking resumed. Furthur inspection revealed that it was indeed the hard drive clicking itself to death.
What is happening now: The computer is under warranty, and my dad (who purchased the machine in the first place) has called the 'manufacturer'. We'll pay for a new drive, install the new drive and OS, and then try to get data off the old one if we can (not likely). Then we'll send back the old drive and get refunded (remember, warranty)
What has been lost: Almost exactly a week of work. My last backup (not full system, just my data) was May 24 2004, which was a week ago yesterday. I was running a small server (mail, www, etc) and the more critical parts (mail) have been moved to a friend's machine for the time being. I also have to use the winnt machine, or the computers at work. Current Mood: annoyed |
