http://64.236.34.4:5190/stream/1003 (a nice trance shoutcast) I've been having a good old time lately. Even been doing thigns and going places. I guess I should take this from the top eh? I'm pretty happy with my computer now lately, and having a good old time with it. Unfortunately for it I'm also planning on its replacement, but that won't be for a while yet. Today(well, yesterday) I spent a large amount of time renaming and reorganizing files on my computer. Thanks to the help of an excellent batch/mass renamer(krename) I've sorted and renamed over 2000 files! I still have a long way to go as far as I'm concerned though. I also need to finish backing things onto dvds, which is taking longer than I thought, due to my lack of will to do it at the moment. In other computer news I've switched to the 2.6.11 kernel, and I've fixed the mouse "warp" problem I was having with the "/dev/psaux" device(by switching to "/dev/input/mice").
Speaking of other things I've been accomplishing around the place. I've cleaned up my room and it's looking pretty nice for once. I also got a new monitor to replace the junk one I had been using as a temporary. It's decent for a compaq monitor(that is in fact what it is). Color scheme is silver and black, and the size is 17"(Cathode Ray Tube). It matches the rest of my stuff pretty well, and seems to blend in much better than any other monitor I've had did. It is also capable of great feats. When I first booted up with it, it used a resolution of 1680 x 1050. Huge! I've since set it back to 1280 x 1024(my preferred), but it really surprised me. The color on the monitor is also quite good. I must say this monitor was a good steal for a measly $50! So what have I been using this monitor for? Watching anime of course! Lately I've been rewatching Naruto, but today I got to see something special and new. Full Metal Panic Season 2 episode 1! I was hoping they'd opt for a second season, and they did. Yay!
In other news, I've done a fair amount of ordering(though more is planned). The order of the day? Music, lots of it(9 cds):
- Megadeth - Cryptic Writings
- Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile
- The Offspring - Ignition
- Bruce Dickinson - Accident of Birth
- VNV Nation - Praise the Fallen
- Iron Maiden - Power Slave
- Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
- Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegatables
- Pennywise - From the Ashes
This seems to be all for now, though I have plans to get a few(potentially many) things later too, but that can wait for now.In other news my current term is drawing to a close, I'm nearly finished with my Oracle Developer class. Just as soon as I finish the final project I'm done... so if I finish it tomorrow I don't have to show up Thursday! w007! Oh, while I'm on the topic of databases... I've finally set myself up with MySQL and PostgreSQL databases on my computer! Let the experimenting begin!
Still more news, yep, this post isn't done just yet. I missed work on Saturday(I'm going to get written up for it, but that's okay, I've got plenty of blank spots on the matrix to fill :P), to take a little trip. We went up to Pennsylvania, and for once, I'd say I probably did most of the driving(My dad had me go through everywhere except Winchester... my license may yet be in sight). It was just a calm little visit to my grandparents place, and we came back on Sunday night. Not much else went on there.
