Welcome to BAFM

Heh, while driving to work I had an idea … That would make a niiiiice vacation photo 😛 (well not so nice if you get the bill …)

OK, so after yesterdays battle with SLES and rpm, I decided to simply upgrade rpm (again rpmbuild -bb rpm.spec as in from source). I had to tune (hah, remove stuff that isn’t working on this ancient gcc-3.3.3 ie. -fstack-protector) a bit to get it working, wasted 20 minutes worth of CPU time and ~30 of my time. I finally gave up. I couldn’t persuade neither rpm, nor git to compile on the damn SLES/Dell. ...

So Joshua asked my why the heck I was doing that puzzle (OK, I said it actually is a puzzle) and here’s now the story for that .. As you see on the image above, the plaster is completely bursted. The dome also started to get some crannies, so my parents decided to cover the whole plaster with pebbles. Only catchy thing about that is: you need to glue every single pebble (diameter ~1cm) by hand onto the cement. And that pretty much sucks. ...

Ok, today I received another WRT54GL (yah, too much money 😛 ) and updated it to dd-wrt v23-SP1 instantly and is now (once again) powering my wireless network. Yay! and thanks to Cisco/Linksys for that fine piece of hardware and to NewMedia-NET GmbH for providing such a great image for this hardware 😄 Ah, nearly forgot that: remember, never put the same IP twice in the static DHCP lease table, or dnsmasq is refusing to start (thus no DHCP/DNS)!

christel, you remember the mood-swings we were talking about ? I think I’m undergoing just another 😞 I’m currently pretty much pissed. Basically everything is pestering me currently (except #gentoo-dev and Gentoo work). Work just ripped another piece of me (hah, thanks VMware & BigBlue). I started the day with a ice cold shower (if I’m talking about ice cold it was ice cold), they’re currently replacing our old gas heating and unfortunately that means no warm water at all! arg

Ok, I know I’ve been absent the last 2 or 3 days (but only in the evening). I know Seemant 😛 and I’m pretty sorry for that. As some of you may know, I recently aquired a Linksys WRT54GL to replace my stupid, crappy Netgear WG602 (which, sorry for the words, is completly junk right now). I managed to flash an dd-wrt image to it, right the first day I got it. But a recent update made it broke and now I’m completly unable to reflash the device (as in bricked). ...

Hrm, I think I tortured christel a bit too much, earlier .. 1 2 3 (16:53) <@phreak``> here we go ;-P /uploads/2008/08/dscn0739.jpg (16:57) <@christel> LOL (16:58) <@christel> the first one made me laugh so much Actually Chris, I think that was your and Diego’s comment(s) in combination with esammer (thanks for the decent laughing flash I had btw 😮 ) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 (22:33) <@phreak``> night everyone ;-P (22:33) <@ChrisWhite> phreak``: what's that? (22:33) <@ChrisWhite> phreak``: you thought you were going to get sleep? (22:33) <@esammer> ChrisWhite: as well as well formed sentences and punctuation. well said. (22:33) <@ChrisWhite> phreak``: sorry pal, this is Gentoo, you're a developer (22:33) <@ChrisWhite> phreak``: we don't let you sleep (22:33) <@ChrisWhite> phreak``: you're over your sleep rations (22:33) <@phreak``> ChrisWhite: yeah, again .. need to get up 2 hours before sunrise (thats in 5 hours to be exact) (22:34) <@Flameeyes> phreak``, what happens to sunrise in 2 hours? (22:34) <@ChrisWhite> phreak``: what if it's cloudy? (22:34) <@ChrisWhite> phreak``: or what if the sun dies out?

Oh, yeah baby g. It’s finally hot f*cking summer and I really like it. We have now three weeks in a row sunny weather with no rain at all. Everyone running around with less or nearly no clothes (heh, especially the girls) is also a nice present from above. Personally I haven’t felt better the last two years. Maybe that’s depending on my previous depressions and the like (you know these thoughts .. ) but this summer is definitely going rock my life! ...

Now is again such a time in live, where you have the motivation or wish to just fade away. I’m just listening to Fort Minor - Where’d you go and thinking about the stuff Mike Shinoda is singing … I want you to know it’s a little fucked up, That I’m stuck here waitin’, no longer debatin’, Tired of sittin’ and hatin’ and makin’ these excuses, For while you’re not around, and feeling so useless, It seems one thing has been true all along, You don’t really know what you got ’til it’s gone. ...

Today we got up bit later (07:40 am) to do some sight-seeing and shopping. We took the car “ Candidplatz”, that’s where Paula is working currently and got into the subway to “ Sendlinger Tor”. The day was starting sunny featuring 23°C at 9:00 am. Certainly I was wearing short pants and a tank top, as I’m used to have a weak till moderate wind blowing around me. We finally stopped at SportScheck to get something for Paula. She badly needed short pants and polo shirts for her physic therapy lessons she is giving at physico. ...
