Just for you smeezekitty, ...

<Imagine Non-European/Asiatic/African/Australian language here >
Very good Damgar.

<Imagine Non-European/Asiatic/African/Australian language here >
I want to try lfs, but I don't really have the time, or I just don't want to. I am writing Cherokee, learning asm programming, and doing things with my kids...My wife too...Whatever...

<Imagine Non-European/Asiatic/African/Australian language here >
I'm tired...But I don't want to go to bed now...I'll try to write more asm.

<Imagine Non-European/Asiatic/African/Australian language here > Happy now? ...

Waiting for my RAM to arrive. I'm replacing the 1 GB in my laptop with 2 matching 1 GBs. Gets on my nerves, waiting for deliveries.

I agree

/me is having breakfast

And I am.. Drinking coffee and checking emails, in an effort to further delay the inevitable: washing the dishes, which MUST be done before any reasonable attempt can be made to make breakfast :/

Nova Scotia = EST?
Working to get breakfast before NOON, are we?

What am I doing? Waiting for Verizon to check my DSL connection---they were nice enough to give me an "appointment"--which to them means "somewhere between 8 and 5".
While waiting, I am trying to catch up on the most thoughtful and inspiring LQ threads...........

Meh.. It's GMT-4 here (AST) so it's 13:05 local right now. I missed the "before-NOON" breakfast boat :/

Hope your DSL appointment materializes -- last time I scheduled a service call for our wireless broadband service, they never did confirm the appointment, nor did they ever show up. I got a phone call about a month or 6 weeks later, asking if the problem had "gone away".

I will document this latest go-around with Verizon.

(You must be on PrSt----(Programmer's Standard Time)--)

Waiting for another few minutes and then finishing for the day. GMT = Awesome

/me is developing a strong dislike of apache & SSL set-ups ...

Been trying to get one going for over a week and going bonkers
with the certs & handling thereof.

I wonder if I will have to change my nic. It's a Tzotzil Maya word for Jaguar......

I'm beginning to get a dislike for the newer kernel's, xorg, and intel drivers.

Can't use the intel driver for long, batchbuffer will get me. However, as long as I play 3D games, then there will be no problem what so ever...Sheesh...At least the vesa driver works, somewhat. Can't exit X once I run it or big black screen will take over my comp.

Also, I've been fuddling with xkb since I started with linux in late 2008...What a bloody pain in the rump roast that is.

So far, xkb with xim with an .XCompose file works, if and only if I select the keyboard file from within xfce using xfce4-keyboard-settings.

Hal fdi file doesn't work, disabling hal and configuring xorg.conf doesn't work...Looks like I'm stuck with using xfce...Dab nabbit...

Would hate to go back to slackware 12.2, but I may just have to.

I figure I cannot put off any longer, separating my /home folder onto a separate partition again, as I had done prior to installing Slack13. My / partition is now 94% full... Perhaps before next shutdown, after I install the kernel I'm building right now and get ready to reboot..

Wondering if anyone at my school has ever heard, used or has a passion for Linux. Apparently not. I feel like I am the only one in my whole school who loves Linux. LoL, I probably am. Oh well, LQ gives me a place to talk. Thanks guys

LOL, yeah I know the feeling. I booted LFS for my wife and she was like, "Yeah that's great, did you hang the curtains yet?" Even at work (working for a small ISP) the only response I got was to be called a communist! Oh well my youngest son loves Gcompris, so when the speech therapy begins to work and he turns 5 maybe he'll have more to say on the subject!

And on topic: I am procrastinating hanging the curtains.

I'm sitting in a classroom, wondering WTF this old man substitute is doing taking 30 minutes to take role and figure out what the hell this class is even about. Second week that this has happened to me.


The torture involved with gathering instutitional information regarding Microsoft products is astouding. I had no idea such inhumane practices were employed, and even more surprising is that the subjects PAYED TO BE TORTURED!
