Motherboard

Well I got my new motherboard in. My computer boots now, so that’s good, but it doesn’t get too far. Sometimes it’ll get to the LILO boot and thne die, sometimes it’ll just get through the bios shit and then die. I dunno what’s going on with it, but that’s what my entire day has been consumed with, installing and trying to get the new motherboard working. I’m thinking I may just buy a whole new computer here soon for it to work on. I dunno though. I need to decide soon though cause I’ve only got a short time that I can send this one back in. Gwar.

Won’t get to see Adam at all tonight and that really sucks. Oh well, he’s studying for finals so that’s good.

Speaking of school we started again today, I’ve got a test thie friday, and one every friday after that for the next four weeks. I’ve got alot to do. Must read, laters all.

People suck at signing my guestbook. Go fucking do it whores.

In other news… Last night was way fun, we went to Tara’s party thing, lots of good food, from there Adam had to go to work, so he did that and I came home and designed the new graphic up there. ::points to top of screen:: Then I washed and waxed my car, it’s pretty now. I also went and got my books for this summer, 2 USED books cost me $205. I was like, HOLY SHIT! So yeah, fuckers. I’ve also yet to get my motherboard in. gwar. Oh, but back on topic, I met up with Adam about 10 and we were going to just hang out at his house and have some fun, but Missy and Tara showed up and we played, well ok, Adam and Missy played, truth or dare. Tara just slept on the couch and Missy just kept trying to seduce me. It was great times.

We all left there about 2am cause Adam had to work at 9 this morning.

Today has also been fun times. I had to hang dry wall this morning with my dad, that wasn’t so much fun, but at 2:30 Adam called and said that he got off early (I wonder if he actually went to work today…) lol. But yeah, so I went over there and we went out to Saylorville and hung out. Good times.

And that’s been my day. Night all!

Going Home

So last night I was on my way home from work, driving south on 69 like I always do and I came about a mile out side of Alleman. There were cops and lights and yellow tape… Much to my surprise the guy that was standing in the middle of the road was telling evryone that there was no way into Alleman, and to get around it you had to go about 4 miles out of your way either to the Highway, and south to the Elkhart exit, or go west towards slater on a gravel road and then south back towards Alleman. Me being from around there I took the shorter way around, and met up with Adam at Hy-Vee, just a couple minutes late.

After he got off work we exchanged stories and then went to Kim Party, at which lots of wierd things happened, I ran into two people that I know from Scouts, Ben Stiney and Head (Grant, which I later came to remember after someone said it), it was very very odd, we left shortly after that and went back to my house where Adam spent the night.

Now I’m at his house waiting for him to take a shower and then we are heading off to Tara’s Graduation party….

I can’t believe that two years ago I was having mine. It seems like it was so long ago, yet it also seems like it was just yesterday. Wow. How I long for the days of HS, but yet am glad that I’m out of there. Ok, so I’m not sure what the hell I want, but there’s one thing that I wish I would have done, and that’s enjoyed my time in HS more then what I did.

Oh well. So I’m off to Tara’s now, Good luck to all those graduationg this year out there and to all those graduating in the next couple years, have fun in the last couple years that you have!

Dec 3000/300LX

Ok, here’s the story of my day:

Dec 3000/300LX

NetBSD boot image, boots, needs serial console to control keyboard/mouse

Dec 3000/300LX with no documentation.

News groups that know something.

Websites that know some more.

Bits and bytes of the story here and there.

MMJ cable or Null Modem cable? Conflicting reports.

MMJ cable == Phone jack?

A Windows2k machine that’s not of any help.

Whew, what a mess.

So its getting there. I have a bootable NetBSD install disk. It boots, asks for a serial console to continue booting. Did research on serial console, I need an null modem cable or an MMJ? Need an MMJ for a Dec 3000/400 but I have a Dec 3000/300LX, therefore I don’t need an MMJ, but an MMJ is just a phone cord with one end cut off and wired to a 9pin adaptor to a PC Com port. However a Null modem cable needs one end 25 pin female opposite end 9 pin male. How do you wire it?? I dunno.

It’s coming along, I’l have it done before summers over.

In other news, I finished my new guestbook after like 2 months. It’s good times. Everyone must go sign it cause I said so. And plus the old entries haven’t been moved over yet, I dunno if I’ll do that or not.

Laters all.

Grumpyness

So everyone seems to be grumpy lately, I’ve been brumpy, Adam’s been grumpy, parents have been grumpy, and well grumpyness always turns out bad. Very bad.

And it did tonight, bad things happened, but talking went on, and things are good now.

Not much really happened tonight though..

Menards has these really cute hanging baskets with…. I can’t think of what they’re called now, but anyways they were cute and I’m thinking I might buy one. Cause well they’re cute.

La la la, I got my monitor in today, that was great times, I’m excited as hell now, you have no idea.

I can’t wait tell I get my motherboard in, it should be here either tomorrow or Friday. Good times.

Well this post was pointless.
