Well Friday was a weird day all around. First, the move the trailer has begun. Yeah. Thats right. IS is moving out to the trailer with the network ops guys. This will be entertaining. Second. (And most tragic and happy at the same time) Pam is leaving our beloved department come June 1. She is leaving for a better job. YEAH! She took over Scott’s old job. Congrats Pam! Well with her departure leaves a lot of holes and mystery open as to what will happen with her position(who will be our next Pam? I mean—there can only ever be one Pam!)as she hinted that Bryan has some “interesting” ideas for the position. Don’t have time to worry about that now. Of course. I get to play Pam for the rest of the summer as is. So that will be interesting all around.(as in—I am taking over her position basically until a replacment is found) Oh well.

Today I got my new amp. I am so happy. The speaker is a JBL Legend, 300 WATTS of pure sound. The amp only throws out 200, so its all good. No worry about destroying this one(which is odd—my last system had a 200 watt amp with a 120 watt speaker—can you say issues?) So here I am looking at it. My new toy. I might just get unlazy enough to actually play it tonight. That would be interesting since I havent played in a while. But this will make going to rehersal and all that a little more interesting, as I wont be able to do it all in one trip anymore. Nope. Two trips minimum–maybe three—for me
::sigh::

Oh well. What can I say right? I mean, an amp is an amp, and I love my lamp…I mean amp(I LOVE LAMP…..stuipid movie corrupting my head)

Trying to find a box to fit this in is gonna be a pain in the royal behind, but thats ok. I will go ahead and make my own sometime this summer. Just gotta find somewhere where i can work on it. Maybe when I go home around the fourth? hmm. The posibilities.

Well. The microwave just dinged. I gots to go. Later

I have taken the dive. A dive I haven’t taken in a long time. Thats right. I am running linux again. :-O

Its actually not that bad as one might think.

But this type of linux I am running. Its different. Its linux running INSIDE of Windows. :-O

I know. The two biggest competitors for the OS market running side by side on the same disk, with the same partition. Its just….unnatural. But it works. It really does. In fact. I am writting my post in that very setup. Linux side of course.

Well, I have had some bumpy roads with it(having to reinstall it once because of bad IP configurations that I couldnt manually edit. ::sigh::) But right now it seems to be going good. I got linux up and running. I got sound going through the “network” to my windows side and letting my windows drivers do sound. I got a ftp server/client relationship set up so I can access my files on either side without having to worry about getting my windows partition “dirty”. Its defiantly a fun time all around.

Yeah, so to pump sound over to windows I use a nice little program called esound. It works wonders as far as getting the sound over to my windows side. For my ftp server/client setup I have a server called PFTP(freeware version) and on my linux setup I have a ftp client called gFTP. Had to compile it and all from source, but the instructions provided were top notch and I hate it running in no time at all. So yeah. Check it out. Comment if you ever wanna try CoLinux and I will point you in the right direction. Aiight. Peace out. Later.

Ok, so its summer.

And I am working.

Well I can’t complain. I choose to work this summer. And actually it will be fun. Well is fun. Reason? I’m working at tech supprot all summer long. How can that be bad? eh? I definatly do enjoy it. Its only been a week but its been interesting. (What makes it more interesting is that Pam has a two week class right now, so I get to cover the front desk in the morning…WHOOO HOOO—note the enthusiam) Besides that there really is not that much that is new. In two weeks we are moving out to the network operations trailor. Reason being that they are replacing the roof on Bolthouse. Don’t know exactly why they are, but they are. Hey, who am I to complain and all? I am just a lowly student worker. LOL.

But eh, things could be worse. I could be home with absolutly nothing to do. Instead I am here at CU, living on campus where the dorms are anything but dead as well as working at Tech support 40 hours a week. Speaking of which….I need to do my time card sometime in the future…gotta remember to do it before it is too late.

I kinda find it funny here at work when it rains. You can hear the rain so easily in work. Its actually kinda relaxing, you know? Other times it just getss to that point where it gets on my nerves and I’m like “THATS IT” or something along those lines. Sometimes its funny(the rain that is—how it “powers up” just in the end to do its full “power down” stuff), other times its just plain annoying(when it goes at full blast for hours on end). Eh, what do I care, right? I mean, come on, it could be worse. A tornado could pass through here(or with my horrible spelling a rronado would have passed through had I not caught my error)

Other than work, not that much is new. I finally have gotten back around to working with Linux some more. True it is not a full true linux, but it works. CoLinux(as it is called) is a nice piece of software that allows you to run Linux on top of windows in its own nice virtual machine. Its nice, and free. Also, I have slackware(version 10) running on the CoLinux, but there has been some modifications to it. Thats ok. It still works close to the real thing. Which is good.

Well Linux, work, done with school, friends, chatting. Thats all thats going on in my life, so I guess thats all I have to write about. Adios for now. Later.

Gus
