Ayeayeaye.... Last week, my desktop decided to die, and the tires on my car decided to blow out. This week the next runner up issss... My laptop. Yestarday the main hard drive (the one that had all my homework on it) gave out. Thanks to compaq\'s exellent warrenty I have the new drive already and am rebuilding the image, but considering the customness of my image that is going to take some time. Alsom, and more importantly... My homework was on that computer. Arrrrgh. Hours apon hours of coding have been lost due to this failure (and my inability to back things up). Everything just seems to be dying on me at the same time here. :/ I kind of wish all the tools I have to help me learn would simply work, so that I could learn more and spend less time trying to make the tools work.   Read the rest of the entry...

I really should be working on my homework, buuuttt.... I got internet working on my laptop through my cell phone... W00tw00t!! What I\'ve got is a Sanyo 8100, using the data cable that they sell at radioshack. The module to load is cd_acm. A HOWTO on doing this can be found here: http://www.natecarlson.com/linux/sanyo-4900.php and Here: http://axion.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html#Modem   Read the rest of the entry...

Ahhhhhhggggwahhh..... About a week ago my desktop died a horrible death, if you tried my site in the last week or so and noticed that it did not exist, then that's why. Unfournately, the hard drive that had the SQL database for this site also died, so all of my old posts are gone. :(... RIP old website. I guess there's nothing I can do about that. I got myself some new hardware so I can get this thing running again. Hopefully this hard drive wont die on me. Maybe I'll get smart this time and actually back up my website? In other news kernel 2.6.2 came out. Now my laptop actually hibernates (instead of kernel panicing) more then 50% of the time...   Read the rest of the entry...
