BYE BYE FRENCH DISTRO.
O' course, the transition coulda been made much smoother if those leet
sysadmins would have patched theis MS SQL servers so that I could do
some updates.
I started downloading a 17KB file last night, and when I got up this
morning, it was still at 83%...
Stupid... Time to go do some ap-getting.

I got Debian going overtop of my FreeBSD partition, and I love it
so far. I'm ditching Mandrake most likely tomorrow. I feel sorta
bad about it, but I'll keep it around on my wife's PC. I'm not gonna
force her to change distros, and it'll allow me to ensure that my
tutorials work on both distros before I deploy them
I also got my Palm IIIxe working in Debian just fine, so that was
one of my major worries - then again, Slackware works just fine with
it, so uh... Debian shouldn't have had any problems. :)
I added a cool thing to my i.o webpage - the entire chat log from
the first day that I joined #icculus.org on IRC. Interesting
reading, really.

Well, everything is working in FreeBSD just fine. Last I checked,
Slashdot still hadn't posted about it, but they did post a news
item that was posted elsewhere on the Net the day before... I guess
they are slipping. :)
I can't make BSD see my Linux ext3 partitions, as their mount command
doesn't work the same as Linux... or their kernel isn't set up for it.
And I need to be able to mount them, since I only have 600MB free, which
means that the testing I could do for LGP is *very* limited.
Also, the font rendering either sucks monkey nuts or it's the video
driver.

msphil is sending me some Debian CDs, but they aren't in yet... I
hate the postal service.
Anyhow, it's 2AM and I need sleep.

I got that Palm IIIxe. The calibration tool doesn't really work, but
I can live with that. I didn't pay anything for this, but rather traded
some older hardware that I would probably never use again for it.
I got it to connect to my network, and I got it to get on the Net,
although not with name-resolution, so I have to use IP addresses. Thanks
to Chunky's writing. :) It's kinda neat, but not very practical for
something like IRC (although I tried using epic4 over SSH).
A keyboard would make this thing a joy to write notes in while I'm
not at home, and when I am, JPilot rocks me. I still prefer the
pilot-xfer -i packagename for installing stuff to it though.
It appears that FreeBSD 5.0 is out... No announcement on /. or
the front page at freebsd.org, but I see it on the FTP site...
Downloading now.
My estimated release date for Neverwinter Nights beta is: February 5th.

Well, looks like I'm getting a Palm IIIxe tomorrow. w00t! I'll put
Chunky's writings to good use. :)
Treke mentioned a possibility of finding me a keyboard, so that would
be awesome.
I added a place for some images that I make that don't make it to
TimeDoctor.org.

An extra special thanks to vogon. This guy wastes more time on helping
me than any teacher I've ever had throughout all my schooling.
I can only hope that some day, some how, I can make it up to him, and
on top of that, help someone else with C++ stuff. Maybe a C++ in
Basic English book or something someday. I shall see.
Reminder - don't bug people about ports. It is impossible to know how
much pressure it is for them, and if they are having a bad day, then
it's best to just STFU about it, instead of pestering and pushing.

Okay, I decided that I came up with some cool ideas for games to make:
1 - Kid Icculus, the Kid Icarus ripoff^Wclone
2 - Foosball 3D, the... 3D... foosball game...
Anyhow, I'll work on them after my next big project...
