2:24 PM - MidnightBSD beats Apple to security update

Apple released 10.4.10 yesterday. Its only fix is the ipv6 issue patched in the BSDs at least a month ago. Considering IPV6 is on by default in OS X this is not good security. Think different!

4:39 PM - The last few days

I've been having trouble sleeping lately. The idiot neighbor trying to break in the other day didn't help with that. It's been effecting my homework. I've been stuck on page one of this essay for three days. After sleeping 13 hours (on and off) last night, i feel much better. I actually wrote something about not caring about my class in the first version of my essay. WOW. Way to summarize my classwork. I still have to get caught up in 444 after I get this done. I did peer review for the one person who actually submitted soomething in my group for 328 so far.

Being behind like this, I didn't feel like I could go chat with Steve about revision. I'll be writing through Saturday. I don't feel like I need to revise much for 444, but there were two assignments in 328 that could have used a brush up. These 7.5 week semesters are killer. This is the first time I've tried to take two classes in a summer term before. Its not fun.

4:48 PM - (no subject)

I just realized I never explained why I thought that emuonline message was funny. I was trying to login to see if anyone needed peer review done last night. Its obvious they have offline backups at that time. I don't understand why companies need so many hours to do their backups. I can do online backups of almost everything. Just Journal only takes about 2 minutes to backup with locks on the tables. Sure the data is much bigger, but they should also have the $$$ for an online backup package.

10:04 PM - Old Computer

I finally found someone who needs an old computer. My mother works with someone who had her PC stolen recently. Her kid is taking some classes and needs a PC quite badly. I'm reloading Windows on it right now. I'm hoping this box will run OK.

10:52 PM - Enemy Territory: Quake Wars Public Beta

id released a public beta, but its being distributed by file planet. If they don't like your systems requirements, you're locked out. My system wasn't fast enough. (Pentium D 805 + 2.5GB RAM + 7300 nvidia) I'm pissed because by the time the game is released some people will be experts just like WoW. That really sucks.

10:54 PM - SOB

Now I find out the game will feature ads!

http://community.enemyterritory.com/index.php?q=node/58&s=c9e9affb53d992ea966d3483ab4bbfe5&

I want it for free then. Why do I have to pay $50 for a game when you will spam me with ads?
