CowboyNeal's JournalCowboyNeal's Slashdot JournalGet A Haircut- August 21, 2001 Busy workday today, but I managed to get a haircut on the way home, and stopped off at the Asian grocer to pick up oyster sauce, green tea, and coconut milk. I dunno what I'll use the coconut milk for yet, but I reckon it'll come in handy sometime. I used the oyster sauce over bok choy and it turned out excellently. Saw the first episode of Dragon Ball today, and I'm pumped. I can see why a lot of people like it better than the Dragon Ball series that followed it. It's able to pack both plot...http://slashdot.org/~CowboyNeal/journal/795?from=rss Grocery Day!- August 19, 2001 Fixed more bugs today. Broke some more things, from the looks of it, but fixed others. That's the way it goes, I guess. On the whole I guess it was a positive change. Finally got out of the house and bought groceries.

Unfortunately, 2.4.9 has decided that my PCMCIA slot no longer exists, and with no networking, a computer is near useless to me. Looks like I'll be reverting and waiting for the next release. Oddly, 2.4.9 worked..http://slashdot.org/~CowboyNeal/journal/559?from=rss Not Without My Bass- August 18, 2001 So, the new server is live, and I got a list of bugs to squash. Everything went better than I had imagined during the move, so I guess we're doing alright. The real test of the new setup will be on Monday when our regular traffic hits. We'll see how well everything holds up. I really can't wait until all the bugs are squared away, and I (and the rest of SlashTeam) can breath a sigh of relief and take it easy for a bit. I've got a copy of Final Fantasy VI and a sixer of Bass Ale waiting for me...http://slashdot.org/~CowboyNeal/journal/438?from=rss |
