Oh the irony…

I just installed win2k in a vm, and I went to do updates.  Windows update said I needed at least Service Pack 3, so I tried to isntall that.  However, IE that comes with win2k can’t render the download page for the service packs!   I had to install firefox to upgrade my win2k…

Full, Redux

Well, I bought a new HD for my laptop yesterday.  250G.  I’d forgotten how long it takes to stream 110G of data across a network. :P

The surprising thing is how much faster everything is.  I guess it was fragmented into oblivion (hardly surprising, since it was full…)  Booting is about 1/3 the time.

Now, back to kvm/uml…

Full again

<sigh> My disk is full *again*. It seems like every time I turn around, I’m out of space. Who’d have thought, just a year ago, that 120G wouldn’t be close to enough?

I’d like to get a bigger hard drive, but it’s a laptop, so thats slightly complicated. Maybe I can get an external firewire drive.

Time to go scan my drive again to figure out what I can delete…

Happy Birthday, Morgan

Middling Epic Fail?

Okay, so you can’t have a middling epic fail. :P However, it’s certianly a middling fail, either in UI design or in features.

See, I’ve been reading all about decibel on the planet, and I thought I’d give it a try now that it’s in portage. I emerged it, started it, and it said to pick a location. Apparently, it can only find music in your homedir. If (like me) your music is elsewhere, tough.

Ah well. I didn’t really need a new music player anyway…

EDIT:

Okay, it’s only the minor fail of being undiscoverable.  Thanks to nightmorph, it actually works (with a few minor caveats).  I suspect I won’t change from rhythmbox to it any time soon, but you never know.  If someone were to write a library plugin based on tracker, I’d probably switch.
