We started out with CentOS in mind but when we realized the extended package repository only had stuff from a year ago, we trashed that idea. CentOS -is- supposed to be a stable server build… but it would have been a pain to install tons of crap by hand.

Once we settled on Fedora and got it installed, I had to learn all about this red hat mumbo jumbo… like using yum, chkconfig/service, and apache being called httpd, it’s true name. I’m back online now and I’ve got my slime/sbcl set up so I’m ready to roll.

Apache DID NOT want to serve anything out my home directories so I had to set up sim links to /var/www — no big deal.

Friggen Cheese.  It’s pretty simple but this program was my first real delve into OpenGL and game writin’.  I’ll be presenting it in a few hours to my graphics class. Woopee.

I’ve still got it bitches.

So, Shaggy and I are busy designing a system around vmbuilder 0.10 in Jaunty, which includes options such as booting off an iso, partitioning disks, and loading VM’s from preset configuration files — among other awesome options. And, we’re curious how some of our options are going to play into the story if we booted off of our installation media iso from the LOUD system. Our goal in this to create an automation system for creating servers (lcsee-vm-builder 2.0, effectively)…

When we try it though, half the shit is broke. ISO images don’t work… Configuration files don’t work. This code is live in Ubuntu right now! Given, the system is only version 0.10, which means the system is expected to be early in its life. But I expect if the man page says I can do something that I should be able to do it. Not that I have to try it , watch it break — and then spend half an hour on the launchpad bug system finding out all of this shit was broke to begin with and that it has been broken for months.

Grrr.

Looks like we’re going to try Red Hat’s virt-install kit instead — it apparently works — even if it is version .50…

Sidenote: Back in the day, you had to remember your way around Norrath. Referring to Everquest of course. There weren’t any maps — None of that sissy shit. I was just thinking about how many games I probably know my way around in. Haha.

I’ve been playing Diablo 2 online, by myself this week. Haven’t died once. Hell yeah.

It began when I attempted to make an account for my mother so she could use Mafia Wars (her laptop was being super slow) and OS 10 couldn’t load a dock for her user… I didn’t think much of it — Just deleted the user account and moved on. My account functioned fine. But then when I got home half of my F-Keys weren’t doing anything at all. No volume control or iTunes functionality — not too big of a deal. And then I realized that I couldn’t use any system preferences or shut the thing down or even restart from finder… Wtf.

Called up apple support and they let me know that I no longer had phone support and could purchase a one time offense kind of plan for this issue for $50, which I didn’t really want to do, but that I still had 200+ days of hardware support (and it seemed like a hardware issue). So they sent me a box to send it back in.

I took it upon myself to reinstall OS/X and see what happened. And guess what? It all works… and hopefully will continue working. Keeping the box though. Haha.

I built my D&D character information w/ TeX. Haha. Dorktacular.

My friends and I had a glorious idea the other day: to store the entire Monster Manual in LDAP. We’re calling the project dnd-dap, watch for more on that on github.
Like: (&(ou:monsters)(terrain:desert)(cr:4))
We also want to store magic items and rituals.
