The Design and Implementation of laffer1

we have to send the router back!  wtf.. they did charge us for the bloody thing.  i don't have the box even.  shit...

never gets me vary far.  It aint got the cd player... its only got the tape deck.  Whenever i try to start my car it just lays dead in its tracks. 

piece o shot car... i got a piece o shit car.  fucking pile o shit never gets me very far. 

Its got a flat tire, and i can't move it to a pump.  It smells like five year old oil...

ok i'll just stop there.  In case you hadn't noticed my car won't jump or run in any way.

Its now possible to delete an RSS feed from the "Subscriptions" feature.. i.e. RSS Feed Reader. http://www.justjournal.com/prefs/subscriptions.jsp

Apple created a new site MacOsForge
It hosts the intel XNU kernel, iCal server?, Bonjour and Webkit!  They also used the apache license on some code and the apl v2 on the rest.  Sweet!  I'll probably implement this.

Gee i wonder why my air is always running....

could it be because the fucking connector between the vents and the air conditioner was not CONNECTED.  I think i might have hacked it together.. we'll have to wait and see if it holds.  A little tape could fix it up for sure.

I found an interesting link summarizing support for several standards on the web. 

Microsoft still sucks with IE7.

Hmm.. looks like we got a new Mac Pro and Xserve featuring xeons (up to quad)! 

There's some kewl features in 10.5 as well.  I don't see any other new products though.  The laptops and desktops for end users are identical.  There are a few good refurb deals though.

One thing of interest is the price of the Mac Pro.  Its more money but you can min config it at about 2100 dollars retail or 1962 education.  Thats a dual 2 gig with 1gb ram and 160gb disk.  I could live with that config nicely.  The airport upgrade might be a good call though.

Caryn's next computer

My NeXT came too!

Got a thinkgeek.com t-shirt coming :)

SF member includes one!  Network Security!

I can't get this battery charged out of the car and moving the car doesn't seem very feasable... i'd still have to get a 100 foot cord to even try it.  If the battery had posts on it...

I decided to price batteries even though this one isn't so bad if it had juice.  45-100 for most.. average is around 70 dollars. 

POWNAGE!

I've patched 7 holes in midnightbsd today.  I'm attempting a build world to test the changes.  One of them needs to be applied to the production server as soon as possible.

If this build works, I'm going to do a new snap.  I've also done some changes to the build process for i386 releases. 

Apple's still in trouble with the SEC.  All the fillings since 2002 are possibly wrong. 

My car won't start.  The battery is showing completely drained.  I can't jump start it.  I think we'll have to get a battery charger or something.

I emailed about the next tracking number.  Hopefully I'll get that soon! 

Last night I tried to start my car and the battery was dead.  I don't know why but its possibly the stupid power locks. 

I just sent them the pictures I took (hopefully).  Had 2 of 4 sent bounce.  One was a domain for an info@ on their site.  I also sent it to altmanmanagement.com which resloves but doesn't have a website.  I also had this
http://www.altmancos.com/build/job-opportunities.asp

I used that domain with winchellway@ all of those. Hopefully it will get there.

Aside from usual duties like 4+ loads of laundy, I've been playing with the network configuration.  The electrical outlet is very picky near caryn's computer.  :( 

Anyway, I've managed to move our gigabit switch to caryn's desk.  Her mac, my desktop and our two "servers" are now plugged into that.  The airport express is directly plugged into the main router with no nat enabled.  The phone one was not touched.  The power dropped on all the networking equipment a few times so its been "rebooted". 

My pc seems a little faster and i now have gigabit to caryn's mac.  Wireless to wired links will be a little slower between the systems but aside from that it should prove interesting.  I've also got gigabit to the unix box from my dell now.  That will help.  If i can get a gigabit card for the old server, both will be up.  I figure a 150 dollar investment in a few months should allow us to do a major overhaul.  Dell has a sweet switch for 89 dollars and for 115 we can get 8 belkin cat5es with it.  Then i can find intel or 3com server nics on ebay for under 40 dollars. 

I'm trying to squash a JJ bug with the spell check engine.  I only seemed to make it worse.  Location and Mood now set to the first entry in the list.  I don't know what the deal is.  I'll look at it some other time.

On the up side, I closed a bug and probably fixed another today. 

I've spent the day coding so far.  Its been fun I guess.  I haven't done it in quite some time.

I'm eating lunch right now.  Salad... woo hoo.  Its not so bad.. cool at least.  My mother keeps forwarding stuff that my dad already cc'd me on!

Nothing on the NeXT system. 

I've got a SF paid account now.  Its got a few nice features.
