    Because my mom doesn’t like the look of an Ethernet cable going through the middle of the house, I bought a WG311 PCI card for my computer. Ubuntu Hoary supports it out of the box as long as you don’t use WEP.

    I got my new laptop today, It took a while to do a network install but I’m happy to say that Ubuntu worked very well out of the box. The only problem is the sound, and suspend. I hate having to mess with ALSA, and kernel patches. I’ll have to try Breezy before I go…

    Lately I’ve felt pretty unmotivated to do any programming. A couple of weeks ago I felt like I could code everything, and now I barely have the motivation to finish my Quod Libet plugins. I’ve also been thinking of what type of programming interests me the most. I’m not really sure, I guess web programming…

    I can’t tell if the problems I was having this morning were from an attack or not, either way I now have enough spare time on my hands to do a complete wipe of my server. Getting those pictures back off and pack on the server is going to be a pain in the ass.

    I’ve been thinking about moving my blog to pybloxsom, and then making my own gallery using spyce so that I can just remove php from this server. It’s a lot of work though, so I probably wont do anything. Nothing is pretty much what I’ve been spending my time doing lately anyway. This is the…

    Now I’m running 1.5.1. I got Adelphia Cable internet today, I’m not impressed, but it works… kind of. The main problem is how slow it is sometimes. Like if it had some strange QoS rule that makes http slower than anything else. There’s also the terrible ping times, my 56k had better ping times! (this…

    The server was compromised again. great job script-kiddie, you ruined my already sucky day. Since there’s only one important file on my site, I’ve re-uploaded that. And I’ve started making a local copy of all the pictures in my gallery for the full wipe I’m doing ASAP. The bad thing about Debian for incompetents like…

    New Page Well it’s now 4am, it took me 4 hours to get it working. No assembly done tonight. I’m so good at procrastination, it hurts.

    Since my website was attacked I’ve been working on security and making a real site instead of just a wiki. I looked into JSP and mod_python to see what crazyness I could come up with. JSP didn’t work very well since Debian stable only has Java2 1.1. Stable’s mod_python is pretty old so I can’t…
