I swear it is impossible to work in this damn house.

Between My Mother, her blasting TV, the dogs, the bird screaming my fucking head off, and the Music I have on trying to drown them out.

I’ve got a rat fucking headach…. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s damaging my hearing. I can’t even hear the damn music any more…. I’ve got headphones on that have cups on them covering the entire ears… I can’t stand much more of this.

One of these days…. I’m getting the fuck out of here. Ether that, or I’m just going to snap and loose self control before I can get my rage under management…

What part of let me work don’t these fucking people understand?!??!

I think if I owned a copy of DOOM, I’d boot it up, hook up the speakers, roll the dial up, and see how they freaking like it !!!

Because people can’t organize there schedule right…..

My day off is gone.

I’m stuck working Friday, the big job… My one day this week to do MY work.

I’ve got training sessions to run Sat/Sun, work Monday, probably Tuesday, work Wedsday, so effectively this means I’m stuck in a very pissy mood.

I fell asleep on the couch all night (gee, thx to whoever forgot to wake me at bed time!). So there fucking goes getting any thing done tonight. It’s 0315 and I’ve got to be up by 0900-0930… but I’ve just had like 4-5 hours of sleep…

Good thing my to do list is written up on the desktop.. I hate getting off work after 1600. By the time I get home, have some thing to eat, and actually “can” get any thing done. It’s all ready 1900 and time to log off for pete’s sake.

The war is on

Well so far all is working semi-well…

The K-Menu key does not always work on every boot.

I’ve managed to piss off my router and vice versa trying to convice it that two machines asking for the same IP is not smart.

After a period of time the laptop totally locks up and has to be powered off by force (button). Can’t restart X or switch to a virtual tty ! Not sure what does this… System ran 6.1-Release under the hood no problem. So I doubt 6.2-Stable is any problem (I hope), the only *major* change other then that is Xorg 7.2 instead of 6.9…

I’ve been dicking with the xorg.conf file merging some changes from my old file from xorg 6.9… Hopefully it’ll fix it. I’ve aslo disabled the Beryl thingy on boot up, if it happens again (lock up) I’ll probably try killing HAL. After that test turning ACPI off, after that… boot safe mode and scream.

Fetching ports now, so hopefully I’ll be able to get some stuff setup. Most of my home directory is ready to go, I should probably dump /home and move it to my server just in case.

Enough, it’s time!

Ok… I’m tired of waiting. I could have a FreeBSD 6.2-Release + KDE3 setup working before PC-BSD v1.4 is released.

Phase I

I’ve unpacked my backups and reorganized/cleaned my home directory. It really needed it. CRAP, I forgot to backup my codecs…. Oh well just a quick trip to mplayers website. I zipped up the ‘new’ home directory into about 1.6-1.8gb of archive.

Phase IIA

I removed all my storage partitions and replaced it with a 5GB FAT32 slice using Knoppix + QTParted. Booted back into PC-BSD v1.3.4 and downloaded the backups via SMB to the FAT32 partition

Phase IIB

Booted Knoppix and used QTParted to erase the PC-BSD partitoin and create a huge ext2 slice. I left about 23mb free and have an active ext2 slice for PC-BSD to reformat.

Phase III

Installed the system… Found a possible bug in the installer and sent a msg out to Testing. My webmails still a reck…

Phase VI

Now to boot her, reinstall my backups and get my baby back in action.

The GOOD thing, is if any thing happens to my data. All of the important stuff is backed up in 6 places, the OS Config in 3-4 places too.

more later.

Whats a good way to get ones mind off painful thoughts?

Keep busy….

Hmmm, I new problem to deal with.

I’ve finnally gotten my favorite radio station in this burg to play on my laptop (PC-BSD). The ketch is to do it I’ve got to use an URL in konqueror to launch the window, basically what I do in IE7 and it works the same way. Other then it’s a kaffine plugin rather then Windows Media Player.

The problem is I have to toy with kmix and adjust the sound systems volume to tune it. With the WMP Plugin it’s as easy as sliding the volume switch.

Bloody heck, trying to post this has taken hours….. Trying to get any thing done in this house is very VERY hard unless every one else is sound asleep… which means no sleep fo rme.

Some how it figures rofl. I tried to download the .NET 3.0 framework from Microsoft using Opera and they told me the file can’t not be found on their server.

I fire up Internet Explorer 7 and vola ! It works like a charm ^_^

Microsoft.com is very crippled for Opera Users I think, going by the times I’ve dropped in of my own free will. I wonder if they are that pissy to Mozilla or Netscape :/

Managed to get every thing up to date and even cleaned up my start menu. On my laptop I usually just open a konsole or xterm & tell it to run the programs I want (I’ve always got a terminal emulator handy). It’s more bugger then its worth imho to do that with cmd.exe and my %PATH% is fat enough now. So I think this is a nice solution, especially since I do not like the Programs->Vendor->Product->Many files arangement used on Microsoft Windows for the start menu and file system.

Trying to work around here is ridicules unless every one else is asleep…

It’s like in the Man and the Iron Mask (98) when Aramis is trying to pray and Porthos comes roaring through with two wenches.

*shakes head*
