Coming to an End….

Well spring break is coming to an end and it’s sad. This week’s been good. Mostly, not much has really happened lately. Thursday night Adam and I sat around his house. Missy and Tara called so we went to supper with them, that was fun, after that we went back to Adam’s and watched more QaF. We only have one episode left, YAY!

Friday was amusing. Chris at work was getting really frustrated with Nazanin. We’re working on this CD with a ton of PDF presentations and such that we’re sending out…. Well we originally (almost two months ago) had it set up so that when you put in the CD, it automatically loaded the TOC from the Cd using your copy of Adobe Acrobat and if you didn’t have it installed it asked you if you wanted to install it. Well Nazanin decided that she wanted it to check for Quicktime as well. Well the program we were using to do the autoload couldn’t do that, so Chris was handed the project cuase he knows flash and it can check for quicktime, but can’t check for Adobe. So since it couldn’t check for Adobe we made it run Acrobat off the cd instead of the harddrive, which also saved us alot of paper work for the copyright shit. Well after he got that working we burned a “final cd” they found one stupid error, so we fixed it…. Burned another cd, another error, it was fixed and so that went on… WE ended up burning almost 50 “final” cd’s. Well Thursday we had the FINAL FINAL cd, and the FINAL FINAL cd insterts (those paper thngs that are in the cd cases) So we printed the insterts, all 250 of them on the color printer, on special paper wich costs about $1 per page and were going to take the final CD to the burners on Friday, they’re in Nevada. Well Friday morning during the staff meeting they were going though showing the final product and found out that some of the fonts didn’t work, because it loaded them from the CD instead of using the fonts on the computer. This meant that A) we had to get copyright info on all the fonts and put those on the CD, or B) change the splash screen to check for Acrobat, install Acrobat 5.0 if not already installed, and reprint all 250 CD insterts to comply with copyrights.

Of course Nazanin decided to go with option B. So we had to come up with a way for the original program to check for Acrobat, and then it loaded the flash program to check for Quicktime. Chris wasn’t happy when I left yesterday…

Luckly the new server came in, so I got to play with that most of the day rather then having to mess with the CD thing. However the server was being a pain as well cause we got it with no OS (to save almost $1000) Well Win2k didn’t have the drivers for the raid card, so it kept giving me errors about not having any hard drives to install too. I was like “LOOK THERE, THERE’S TEN FUCKING HARDDRIVES YOU CAN INSTALL TO.” pos, oh well Dell was nice and had them on a CD that came with the server, so that was fixed fast.

I also talked to Nazanin about hosting my website out of Krell this summer, they said it’d be alright. Hopefully by then I’ll have my DEC’s working, or at least have a new computer to have it on. We’ll see.

Friday night was amusing as well. I met up with Adam about 5ish at his house, we were laying on his bed cuddled up together, watching QaF when his mom just JUMPS into his room. I jump back from him and he jumps back from me… She had to have seen something cause she jumped right back out of his room as fast as she could and then came back in a bit later. We were like OMG OMG OMG. She had to have seen shit… I bet she thought we were making out too, cause that’s what it would have looked like. Oh well, she went out, so we hung out and watched his sister and movies… It was good. Tonight should be more of the same, I think. Hopefully his sister will leave as well.

I went to my dorm yesterday as well to get sun glasses. I still don’t have a room mate, hopfully I won’t have one when I get back Sunday night. I’ll be mad if I do.

Redhat / SuSE?

So I’m thinking about when I get my new computer… Shoud I use Redhat or SuSE? What will I do with my old computer…. Should the new one become my new main system, and my HP become by backup… What should I do….

Here’s the current setup:

HP: SuSE, Apache, SSH, MySQL, BIND. Main Personal computer, website, DNS.
Compaq: SuSe, FTP, SSH. Backup computer, using rsync, and main ftp server.

Here’s what I’m thinking about doing:

Micron #1: SuSe, SSH. Use as main machine
HP: Redhat, SSH, Apache, BIND, FTP. Use as backup of personal items and main webserver/ftp server.
Compaq (200 Mhz): Win2k Server. SSH, DNS. Use as backup DNS Server. And Windows testing server.

And then if I get a second Micron Machine I’d replace the compaq and use Micron #2 as Win2k box and then use Compaq as either a firewall or give it to someone else.

I dunno. Leave input for me….

Busyness

Well I’ve been really busy lately….

Monday Adam and I hung out… We went and got our tuxedos. That was fun. Nelline came with. We picked out A blue vest and tie and a silver vest and tie… The rest of it’s the same. We still haven’t decided who wears what though, and I don’t think we will know tell that day. Cause we both want the blue vest… Well actually Adam just likes the blue tie, I think that we can switch ties and that will look cool….

This whole prom thing is going to be ok, but it’s causing some stress, especially for me. We were talking about flowers and such… You know those damn things you give your date, and wether we should get the females ones or not… I see those as more a “Here you’re my date, this is something from me for you to wear tonight” and Adam doesn’t see them that way and he thought we should get the females one and not get each other one. But I think that since we are in fact dates we should… Well we talked about that and Decided that we would get each other one and we’d get the girls a yellow rose or something for helping out. I’m into the point of frustration with it that I’m just going to say, “Tell me what to do” and I’ll live with it. But I am still looking forward to it alot. I can’t wait to go.

Adam spent Monday night at my house. Tuesday we pretty much just hung out tell he had to work at 4. Then he worked. After that we went out to Java Joe’s. That was alright. We also met Mary’s BF, he’s one wacko man. Ryan was also there and apparently he called me and Adam “Dirty” whatever that means. He’s just a freak anyways. lol.

Now I’m here and work and the boss is gone, tooo bad. We’re getting alot of shit done too. We’ve ordered two more servers one of which is going to be my pet project the other is going to be Chris’. It’ll be cool.

Ok. I’m out and back to work. Laters all.

Crazyness

Well this past weekend has been really fun and sad and everything in between.

Alot happened. Friday night Adam and I went downtown for a while then we went to my house to hot tub and such. iT was fun. Saturday I went to my G&G’s house and hung out there tell about 2. Then I went back to Ankeny to meet up with Adam. We went to the mall and did random things. That night we had to watch his sister and his little cousin. We also got the great idea to nair things. My ass hurts alot now. lol.

Sunday was bad, very very bad. My parents yelled at me for being gay and we’re just total assholes about everything. They said that “You people” are just asking for special rights that you don’t deserve. So I walked out. It was bad. I went to Hy-Vee cause Adam was wokring and just hung out and shit. That night Adam and I went to B&N and hung out and read books for hours. Then we went downtown for a while.

Today’s been alright. I’m working for a couple hours, then going to go out with Adam to get tuxedos.

People suck at telling me when things are broken, first my guestbook was broken and then my e-mail was broken for I dunno how long… Thanks Julian for telling me… For some reason the hosts.allow / hosts.deny files was denying everyone. It was odd. I got that fixed though.

I love Linux:
[root@ednt black]# uptime
10:24am up 100 days, 19:41, 11 users, load average: 0.00, 0.03, 0.02

Laters all

Spring Break

It’s here!! Spring break. Yay!

This week will be alright.. I mean I’m not doing anything special or anything… Just going to work and hang out alot. It should be good.

One note though that if my webserver goes down, it’ll be down all week, cause I’m not coming back just to restart the webserver… But I don’t think it should go down cause it hasn’t yet. We’ll see.

Also there’s a possibility of the whole works going down the week after spring break… That’ll be because I’m thinking about reinstalling again. I’ve got alot of shit on here that I don’t want, so I’m going to install with minimun and then build what I need into the computer. Yeah.

I’m out!!!
