I’m at school right now. So yesterday had its ups and downs. Did a little remote admin for Tres on Linux – got his USB mouse working in some beta version of Mandrake 9.0. That’s kinda neat, seeing as how I’ve never used anything USB in linux (and only once in win98, heh). Turns out he needed to do a

modprobe usbmouse

to get it working (usbmouse being the name of the driver). Then we just had to tell his computer to do that everytime.

vi /etc/modules

and adding

usbmouse

then a reboot and it worked perfectly. I was quite impressed with myself.

Chelle, Mollie, and I are going to D-Land in November, probably for the weekend of 15-17. That’s gonna be cool. She (Michelle) has apparently never been there – weird.

We’re (Chelle and I) going to a play at Grossmont tonight, I have (as usual, hehe) no idea what its about, or what its called. But I haven’t been disappointed with her movie/play decisions yet, so no worries. Actually… I recall something about a girl who got pregnant and these pre-lifers kidnap her and force her to have the baby instead of an abortion. I think. We’ll see.

Other than that, I think I’m going to reinstall Win98 tonight… I’m certainly due for it… I keep getting that bug where my Start button changes colors, pictures, etc… I’ll have to take a screenshot and post it sometime. After Win98, it’d be time to reinstall Source Mage Linux (hardcore time, again…) and then Mandrake. Eventually, I want to try Lycoris, and RedHat8, too.

Yes, I am a nerd.

By the way…. if anyone knows of someone trying to sell their old Mac let me know.

Time for class

Added a link to Chelle’s Diary. Chelle is definitly one of my very best friends, she probably has no idea how important she is to me – let alone my sanity.

Anyways, she’s an awesome person, and she’ll probably be showing up in my journals a lot, with Chris, Amber, Mollie, Tres, and the rest of the gang…. Night for now

I gave it some thought last night, (you know, the long sleepless kind) and it occured to me; I don’t think fear is the problem…

I think that its inexperience… I have no idea what I’m doing, therefor nothing ever happens. Rather than fumbling around, I just wait… until I know, until someone gives me that experience. Because, really, I have no idea how to go about it.

Of course, there’s a small amount of fear, there always is, I think. You don’t want to mess anything up, and you’re afraid you might. But its not the driving factor; at least, it hasn’t been for a long time.

I saw a movie last night with Christopher Walken and another guy whom I don’t know but I know I’ve seen before. This guy (Jimmy was his character) walks by this girl in a club. They make eye contact and he goes over to her. He says to her, “Are you in love?”

“Why?”, she asks.

“Because, if you’re in love, I won’t bother. I’m not the type of man that would get in the way of another man’s happiness”

Ok, so it sounded pretty smooth at the time. But you gotta admit it has a certain style (despite it being a movie). That says “I know what I’m doing, and what I want.” It shows experience… not two failed on-line relationships. Anyways, its way past time for me to get on with it, and just blunder my way through it.

so its about 1 am, at dad’s house and I think I’ve finally got this formatted in a way I somewhat like (not sure about the color scheme just yet…)

Looking around for a way to use Frames, but it doesn’t look like it’s possible (or at least easy). I’d really like that bottom banner to be stuck on the bottom of the page….

Anyways, let me know what you think… about the colors, or the layout or whatever…. I’m going to start adding actual content soon….
