Slimmers

Yes the Slimbay is back in action… well it will be in another day or two. I decided i will make it my DHCP+DNS server, Apache and LDAP.
This little machine i can keep on an not feel to bad when it comes light bill…. and it doens’t make any sound liek the other 2 PC’s i have. ONLY reall issue i have with it is that the NIC go hit with lightning the otehr day so i noww have to use a USB-RJ45 adapter to get a working NIC. So u canimagine while transffering big files how long that will take!?!?!?! (the usb is USB1.0 )

Determined fi real now!!

Yea I’ve said it before, I’m going to lose weight.
There is a major difference now. I mean it!!!! For the past few days i’ve been wondering WHY my lower back has been bothering me, I think deep down i knew but was to flippin blind to notice. My beely is gettting to RASSS big!!! I look like i have a beer belly… worse part is is that i don’t drink. I’m afraid to even get on the scale and see how much i weight right now.. about 6 months ago i know i was about 245lbs. Lord alone knows how much i am now
After work i’m supposed to be going downtown and buy up some things like fruits and vegatables. Working in front of a PC and going home to do the same thing isn’t really condusive of a healthy living.

Just to even prove how serious I am hopefully later on i’ll post a pic of how i am currently.

Work Area

As I look at my desk.. i’m a little dissapointed. My desk is a MESS. Maybe.. just maybe before i go to work this evening i’ll clean it up.

Ohh before i forget….. that machine on the bottom is my main machine “bLaCk TOwEr” it’s my main machine. I dual boot with it, Windows XP and Ubuntu Dapper (as of yesterday previously it was Breezy). The other machine near the phoneon a pinkish piece of rag is “Enigmatic” My Breezy Samba/LDAP PDC… yep that little machine right there is my little server. Hmm… i run Apache, Bind, DHCP and MySQL on that machine. Here is another pic for a closer look. You may be wondering …. why it look different from the pic I posted a few days ago. Reason for that is I had to put a bigger heatsink on this bad boy… If i didn’t do that then when the machien gets hot shit starts to move liek a flippin snail. I’ve been to busy to get the case cut i can slide it back it.

Dapper Installed

Just installed Dapper…. so far so goood. I was having a problem with Grub giving me error install messages during the first install but i figured it was how my grub was at at that state. I had like 8 options in that bad boy…. I just got out my trusty Techiez Toolz cd booted from a Win98/XP option did:
fdisk /mbr .. voila able to boot again BUT of curse ubuntu is gone.

I could of taken the educational way and tried to just install GRUB but after a few failed attempts i just decided to reinstall Dapper and done.. it’s not liek there was anything on that partition anyway.
Well it installed and updatign now….. 310mb’s worth of upgrading.

Well….

It’s another week. Nothing much has really changed… as they say same shit different day.
I decided to try Dapper, yeah i kow it’s not final but the video and screenshots of Xgl and Compiz in action drove me to want to jump on the bandwagon. As i’m writing this my other machine is churning away the install… this is the second time i’m installing Dapper i had some probems with grub
Arrghh enuff about PC’s. Have I ranted how i’m really starting to HATE my job?!?!?! At first it was cool i was learning a few new things things but now the shit is just stagnant…. this is worse than a brain freeze!?!?! At one point I use to MURDA the OT … for like 3 months i worked 148hrs, 75hours and 91 hours respectivley. NOW for the past 2 months I’ve only worked 24hours OT.. and that is over TWO months. So yeah i’m fed up of that place… BUT i’m no fool.. it puts money in my pocket so unitl i can get something better i shall stay there.
