Well…looks like that Hard Drive I complained about is toast. The good thing is that after moving it over to my other machine and running Western Digital’s diagnostic tools (tools that would be great in Linux, I might add) it definately reported an error. Even directed me to the right …
I don’t get it. Finals are over and what does my computer do? It breaks. And breaks good. fsck.resierfs failed because of some seek error so now I am patiently waiting hours running a full surface scan to see if my 80GB HD is jacked up. I must have messed …
Wh00h00! I finished my last final today! It was CS341 (Automata Theory) and I think I did pretty good, if I do say so myself. Of course, that doesn’t really mean much; I’ve felt good on many tests and have done horrible on. They were all theory-based classes. Coincidence? Proabbly …
Well, I just finished my SPN312K final and I have to admit that it was somewhat challenging. They put what looked to be a Spanish version of a Calvin and Hobbes comic on the test, which, suffice to say, was quite difficult. Sure did put me in my place about …

Alright well I was talking with Aaron at work a few days ago about DRM-related issues. And I will admit that there are some fair uses of it, perhaps. I still think it only punishes good consumers and such a technology has the power to vastly control consumer rights. Well, …
I’m just going to come out and say it: Longhorn is evil! I read an article on Ars Technica which stated that an average PC running Longhorn will need a dual core 4-6 GHz Processor, 2 Gigs of RAM, a terabyte of storage, and a graphics card that is roughly …
Whelp…it’s my first post. First ever. None like it before. Blatantly obvious perhaps, but it’s 12:44AM as I begin writing this so, needless to say, the bed is calling my name. Yet, I was so excited about having a Blog of my very own that I couldn’t resist the extra …
