Todo

1. Learn LaTeX
2. Write novel
3. Profit!

I also have some other things to do:

• Fix ADSL connection
• Finalize pf.conf and enable it
• Write a 'letter'
• Get a portable WiFi device (either an old iBook/PowerBook or a Zaurus-type device)

Ooh yeah, errata: reiser4 wasn't the problem, bad blocks were. In fact, I'm quite impressed with the filesystem for holding up as well as it did with 118(!) bad sectors on the disk. I've now remapped them with a non-destructive read/write test but I'm considering scrapping the WD SATA Caviars in favour of more reliable drives. Strange really considering how good the IDE flavour of the Caviar is.

Technologic

Buy it, use it, break it, fix it, trash it, change it, mail - upgrade it, charge it, point it, zoom it, press it, snap it, work it, quick - erase it, write it, cut it, paste it, save it, load it, check it, quit - rewrite it, plug it, play it, burn it, rip it, drag and drop it, zip - unzip it, lock it, fill it, call it, find it, view it, code it, jam - unlock it, surf it, scroll it, pause it, click it, cross it, crack it, switch - update it, name it, read it, tune it, print it, scan it, send it, fax - rename it, touch it, bring it babe, watch it, turn it, leave it, start - format it.

Technologic, technologic, technologic, technologic.

Good god, tech is fucking with me big style recently.

1. Netgear WG311 v2 WiFi pci card: Netgear, you fucking pricks, when you change the chipset on a card, change the motherfucking model number. v2 of this card is not supported by the ath driver in FreeBSD. I had to NDIS wrap some old XP drivers instead.
2. Pipex: Uh, stop dropping my connection you silly twats, 'kay? Thanks. They were doing it around midday yesterday when I was trying to update to OpenBSD 3.7. Now I'm upgrading obsd ports to 3.7 (since libiconv package won't work...) they're doing it again.
3. reiser4: Yeah, I know 'ricer4'. One of my partitions became corrupt: 217:20.17 fsck.reiser4 and counting. If, after letting it run for however fucking long it takes, I've suffered any substantial data loss, it's gone. XFS/JFS/something that doesn't fucking suck here I come.
