Thoughts and Ramblings

Well, I got back from my vacation with my parents in the Hill Country. It was nice to get away from school and do something else. Since I got back on Tuesday, this week has been rather strange. I have noticed a lot more people asking me how I was doing and things like that. I guess that I was missed a bit. Oh well.

Nothing much to report here. I have the cron job running to blog here, but it doesn’t work when I just close the program. Maybe it will eventually force me to do something. Anyway, another day at the office is in store for me. Until next time.

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.
