I wish there was a men's tank-top in the SG shop. I love the unisex shirt (have two of them), but there definitely needs to be a men's tank-top!

I got the Gentoo KVM server working really well (still needs more RAM though). I set up a virtual machine (Ubuntu server) to run a private KForge install, got it working with GIT, and put some of my personal projects on it. Next I'm going to be looking at maybe setting up Bugzilla so I can keep track of TODO/bugs on my projects as when...

I suppose it was bound to happen eventually: vacation is over and I go back to school tomorrow... 
This quarter I'm taking math, computer security (a 400-level class, so I'm sure it will be fairly in-depth), and computer languages and automata (also a 400-level).
I'm guessing difficulty-wise this will NOT be an easy quarter...

So I've been giving some thought towards buying a sailboat instead of a house when I finish school. Maybe I'm crazier than I think, but it sounds like a brilliant idea the more I think about it.
To ease the transition I figure I would rent mooring space here in town for a year before cutting ties and sailing. There are lots of issues to...

Just got back home from a trip to Everett Tattoo Emporium. The wifey got some more work done on her sleeve-in-progress. Starting to come along very nicely! 
Work on the VM server continues. Got a test WinXP, Win7, and Ubuntu guest OSs installed. It's been several days and so far no additional issues with crashing/errors (knock on wood!) I was going to install a copy...

Got my hair and beard cut last night. Now I no longer look like a hobo. Although I was starting to enjoy the length of the beard as it looked very pirate-like. I was overdue though and my head feels so nice now that it can breathe! 
So I had two hard crashes with the VM server a couple of days ago. Since then I've...

So I dug out the old web server from out of the attic and am in the process of setting it up as a dedicated VM server to reduce the use/load on my desktop.
I figured why let it sit in the attic and go to waste? It's a dual-dual core Opteron (2 x Opteron 2222 = 4 cores) @ 3.0GHz and I had a...

This made me laugh: Wil Wheaton: comedy ensues
I can certainly relate to some degree: my wife is what I like to call a "nerd-in-denial." Deep down she's just as geeky/nerdy as I am, but she was raised out in the country, on a farm, and has learned to suppress theses thoughts/feelings with good 'ole country girl/redneck attitude.
She refuses to watch any science fiction,...

I need to learn better time management skills.. I used to be so good at juggling things and lately I feel like I never get anything done.
totem:
I have zero time management skills so I can't really help.
What I have found makes me even a teeny tiny bit better is having a diary to right a schedule in and writing lists.

Never really used /dev/urandom (on Linux) for anything significant before.. I never realized how slow it is until I attempted to erase a hard drive that was 1.5TB.. Yeah after like 10 hours I canceled it and found a python script that can do it faster (took about 4 hours).
The point is to make one entire hard drive/partition encrypted. I've never done a whole...

Why do I never think of any good questions to ask in math class until I get home? The good thing is that this instructor (not a prof.) answers his emails.. the bad thing is that it's often hard to type out instructions/explanations for math problems...
Thinking about starting a spare change bank to save up to buy the stuff I need to load my own rounds.
Ammo just keeps going up in price and every time I go to the range there are spent casings EVERYWHERE.. so why not collect a few and reload them?
Plus it would be a good thing go have if the anti-gun nuts start taxing...

alyeska:
The range I go to has a rule saying you can only the collect your own brass. While there's no easy way to know if it's actually YOURS lol, they just let you take the amount you fired. Like if we let off 200 rounds, we can only leave with 200 pieces of brass. No matter if it was 100% OURS. They do this because the owner likes to collect up the brass when he's bored and load his own.

That is a very good point, I'll have to check on the rules... Thanks for the heads up!
