I’m pretty excited for Easter. The easter bunny comes tonight for my little sister, so there will be a bunch of candy in the house tomorrow morning.
Ummmmm, I bought some really crappy flavored water today from The Dollar General store. And I got a new book.
Well, I decided I should finally go to work today. I went in to apply a whole bunch of security patches. I also upgraded a lot of packages to newer versions located in slackware-current. I think I’ll go back in on Friday to upgrade the kernel.
It was fun. ;-)
I just got done upgrading from 2.2.20 to 2.4.18. This is the first time this box has had a 2.4.x kernel on it. I’ve wanted to keep a 2.2.x kernel on it simply because they’re known to be stable. I feel that it’s time to begin using 2.4 on production machines.
I’m always on the lookout for good wallpapers. I found this site at DeskMod a few days ago:

Check it out, there’s some pretty neat stuff over there.
DO NOT buy an IBM 75gxp hdd. I was using one as my main hdd on nightengale. This hdd contained all of my database info. Of course, I didn’t back anything up. This drive failed on me a few days ago. So I’ve been rebuilding like crazy for a while. I’m gonna RMA the drive and hopefully get a new one.
Hopefully the new one won’t die as soon as I get it. If you’d like to read more about this 75gxp problem, check it out here:
