Thoughts and Ramblings

Well, here we go, another month has passed, and I have not written in here. I guess that I am either too lazy, too busy, or both. Oh well. I am going to be spending the next week with my parents. It will be nice to spend some time away from school and doing nothing but relaxing work :). This should make an interesting week.

Fire development has really taken a turn. We released version 1.0, so I put my changes since then into CVS. Many like the changes. Most of them were long overdue. Time will tell where this goes.

Well, it has been a month since I wrote here. I guess I will continue the tradition of random entry times.

As for the card, I got it to work a bit. Intel hardware is still a piece of junk though. I want to throw the thing in the trash since that is where it belongs. I spent the past two weeks trying to get the optical ethernet cabling to work, and it didn’t. I found out that the firmware in the Dell Switch was being stupid and negotiating wrong. Well, I guess I should be happy that I got it to work now.

What a surprise… I wrote in here the next day. Maybe I will actually make something of this blog yet.

I didn’t get much done at the office today. The card didn’t work again as usual. I spent most of the day going through mailing list archives to see if anyone else had this problem. I didn’t find any matches. That is worrisome because there is either no easy solution, or the thing is broken. I will put together a write-up of the problem and have Dr. Reddy send a message to the guy at Intel to see if he has any ideas.

Good grief… Has it really been two months since I wrote in here? Wow, I guess that means I should be paying more attention to the thing.

My G5 has been behaving well. I have to watch myself on it so that I don’t spend all my time playing games. I have already beaten Halo, but that game is just too much fun to play. Strange that it can play so well only having 512MB of Ram. I still need to go order more. The laptop has actually become a portable computer now. It is nice to use it as such.

Wow, has it really been that long since I made a post here? Nearly a month. Well, the G5 has preformed well over the past several weeks. I have been making good use of it on many occasions. I have drug it to Breakaway twice so far, and each time I have had to open it up to show the guts to people there. It is fun. I had predicted 2 weeks for the iPod, well, it is still not here. In calling about the status, I am told that it will be one week from now. As a result of them being so slow, I am going to get a $50 item free from the Apple Store. I decided on Halo. It is a fun game, and I have a computer that can handle it. I figured why not. I would not buy it on my own, but I didn’t see anything else there that I really wanted.
