It only took 2 whole days of make buildworlding a few times to get this bad boy up to FreeBSD china.jadz.com 4.6-STABLE FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE #1: Thu Jun 27 05:21:00 ADT. But I’m happy with the learning experiance.

I’ve started to try and use FreeBSD on my main workstation.

I currently have freeBSD 4.6 with gnome. My next goals are to get my video input card working and also the TV-Out working on my GForce2. This is all a learning experiance for me (working on it as a workstation) and I hope what I learn will carry over to my other *nix ventures.

Pictures taken while walking to and at the penthouse (loco and sperrys). more of the series.

Still no news on Jamaica yet. I e-mailed the Cuso office here in Halifax and they said they were still waiting on selections to interview from Jamaica so I will wait.

I set up another FreeBSD server for my uncle and have reading manuals for different software as of late. I’ve been finding it hard to learn more about code without a project goal in mind.

I’m going to sneak off to the gym for some late night endorphin release.

I’d post about the great movies I’ve been downloading but there only seems to be crap released as of late. Jason-X included.

One project that I would like to start is a ‘recently updated B2′ list on the frontpage of OuterSurf now that there are so many personal websites going up.

From the Netcorps website.
