CodeWarrior's Cruft

I was running Ubuntu 7.10 since it got out on my box at home and its been treating me pretty nicely. Last night, I tried to use the internet updater to move to 8.04. After installing the system and rebooting to use the new kernel, I was greeted with a funky looking display. Everything was blurred, and looked like crap. After looking into it, apparently the version of X with Ubuntu 8.04 and the xorg intel video driver don't work nicely together. I tried updating the entire thing from git, and still no dice. I so could not be bothered with it, i just cp -R'ed / into another directory, and decided to back to something I enjoyed using more, Gentoo, which is installing and updating world as we speak. It feels good to be back. (=

Is back!!! In all its glory too! Boring and semi static as usual - I need to find the best place to put the thing. The plan is to set up a couple of them eventually - I'll need long USB cables though, or something of the sort.

So I moved to my new place yesterday, got things set up here and there. The place is still empty though - in dire need of some furniture and a BIG tv screen (= I managed to leech some internet from some random access point in the neighborhood. Not too bad, 500K/s, does for now. I stocked up my fridge with the needed nutrients (egg whites, cottage cheese) and my usual oat meal. Speaking of which, I'm hungry! (=

I'm moving in a few hours. The new place is much closer to work, and much more convenient. The only downside right now is that i will be offline for a period of time during the days on weekends, and during the nights on week days until my ISP "moves over" my connection there. Hisham TV will also be out for a while (=
