There is a seagull, incessantly squawking, outside my window. Too far away to hit, too far away and too difficult to reach by throwing something.

Anyone got a small pellet gun I can borrow? A shotgun will do, if it's all you can find.

*closes windows*
Nope, doesn't help...

Where is everyone dagnamnit? 3 entries in 12hrs? 2 by calliste! That's piss poor - work harder and amuse me during my time of need, and stop having such a good time, all of you! :)

At least, in my small world of unrockiness, I rock indeed.

I have forced the evil sound card of doom into submission, wrestled it into the ground and ensured that at last and finally, I have power management, and sound in the one kernel! HURRAH! And all it took was to download alsa and recompile, because silly YaST is too silly to realise that the sound card module's name has changed by two characters. *grumble grumble*

What's the betting the 2.5 series becomes 2.6 before I'm ready, now? I've been playing with that briefly but not managed to make it work properly just yet.

Admittedly, I don't have USB ready yet, or Firewire, but I don't use either of those in Linux, so *shrugs* Dunno if I'll even bother, save to get rid of those damn error messages at boot-time :)

Now to catch up with everything else.

This morning my body did the most annoying thing it could possibly ever have done. It woke me up at 0630. 0630, grrr. *growls* Sat and watched CNX (Cartoons) and NASN (North American Sports Network). Eventually went to work at 0900 for some overtime, may as well... better than watching TV, may as well make some money!

Today's been slow. Very slow. Someone brought in travel connect four though, so we had a bit of fun with that ;) It all got far too serious *G* No assholes today, whoohoo. Had a chat with the party-people during my last break, who all seemed far too subdued. I think the badminton wore them out!

Monday and Tuesday, plans? Do I have any? No. I should do, but I might try and spod some more, get Linux Kernel 2.5.74 working, figger out whether I need DMA enabled to be able to watch DVDs on this DVD drive, and maybe get hold of some DVD-Rs and do a backup, as I still don't actually have a single backup of the laptop or the server.

Wonder how easy it is to backup over NFS? :)

Uhhm.
I'm being so geeky.

*flibble*
When's Red Dwarf III coming out on DVD, damnit?! I want it all, and I want it NOW!
