Cool mini desktop! linutop.com

Its like a soekris but geared towards desktops.
aaah the different uses!! And they ll only get cheaper & better
In 5 years I’ll be able to outfit any corner of the house with computer thingies
One of those combined with a touch screen would be GREAT to use ampache from!
And several of those all off one PXE server..

And I’ve been wantin these For A LONG While!!

Surfin bird!

The new Coon brothers movie is surprisingly cool!

[last lines]
CIA Superior: What did we learn, Palmer?
CIA Officer: I don’t know, sir.
CIA Superior: I don’t fuckin’ know either. I guess we learned not to do it again.
CIA Officer: Yes, sir.
CIA Superior: I’m fucked if I know what we did.
CIA Officer: Yes, sir, it’s, uh, hard to say
CIA Superior: Jesus Fucking Christ.

Surprising the whole way trough! Though the first xx minutes may be hard to get trough since the movie might create different expectations..

Now as for the last few days.. Lots happened. We re moving in. The living is still in shambles, but all the rest is quite livable!

We had music for life fun, we had 2 christmas parties, we moved some more..

Yesterday we finally went for some sauna & fun with John & Herlinde.
The night didnt quite turn out how it was supposed to, but we have a few new stories

Part of the “not turning out as planned” did screw the healing sauna effect for me, but I guess thats allright..

and now on for more moving & stuffs!

On a positive note.. I was finally able to test my sis-pm.. and it Works Great Amazing, really!
I’m looking forward to installing the whole!

And thats  where the shit hits again, since .. I cant put it to use.. because I need the soekris to drive the thing.

Still.. Soekris, Telenet modem, Fileserver, .. all powered trough a simple php interface (still to be developed) .. its a great thought!

Its tres crappy .. but apparently my soekris is acting up.. :/ And I somehow locked myself out.. apparently.. Although I’m not really sure if I did lock myself out or if there is really something wrong – hardware side..

I’m dreading the prospect – in this very busy period of trying to get our house together – of booting it PXE style to check the config..

The disk boots.. Grub loads; Grub boots; The system tells me its “Starting up …”; Lots of disk activity

And THAT is where the whole things stops doing anything No serial connection output (probably because I didnt put the proper stty line in grub waay back) and no network reactions either. And I cant seem to edit the grub config over the serial connection. (weird)

So I’ll have to boot it up with a live cd to check where shit goes awry and solve what needs solving. pfffsh. My pxe serv is in the attic & I DONT feel like getting it out from there right today.

On the other hand.. The desk is set up as the ideal lab RIGHT NOW and If I need to set it up again later .. … :/

Oooh! Devious thought I wonder if PXE boot is enabled by default over wifi on laptops.. (dont think so) It d be extremely fun & devious to have a constant wireless pxe serv running in a public space with lots of people booting their stuff. & then boot them into an extremely light ubuntu teehee! It wouldnt work all that well, considering the massive amount of data involved in loading an ubuntu live cd.. but none the less.. its an entertaining thought

Edit: Ooh! I just realised I have another option to get to my box Lemme try that next! – No such luck PXE it is

Cant help wondering if importing this “skynet” library will make my perl script run faster.. (better – stronger)
lol @ xkcd
