COUGH HACK HACK HACK SPLUTTER HACK HACK

[reddragdiva]

Coughing up less rancid slime this evening. Dinner with sushidog at Wagamama Knightsbridge on Saturday was enough going out for me this weekend. Tip for those wanting to liquor her up: sake does the trick nicely. Oh, for a camera.

Ali and I spent the weekend trying to beat an Alcatel frog into submission on SuSE 8.0. Yet to get it working, but boy have we learnt a lot ... e.g., that SuSE and Alcatel both suck dingo balls.

you want an ethically clean linux like debian (http://www.debian.org) or redhat (http://www.redhat.com).

The disks were handy. (And we didn't use YaST.) If we can't beat it into submission in short order, next stop is OpenBSD.

OBSD has a lot of strengths, but support for hardware doesn't seem to be one of them. I hope it works.

Dell Optiplex GX that Ali had lying around. I know the Ethernet and USB are supported, and that's all we need for this purpose.

I should just point out that I was perfectly well-behaved and didn't do anything embarrassing at all.
As far as I can remember.

Next time we go to Wagamama (should be this month after I'm paid, so we can use more tickets), we'll be sure to kick on to something else afterwards. There was such potential there.

I read this expecting a religious war. Sheesh, this is pathetic! =)

*heh* But it was mostly just potential for sending slightly confused and confusing text messages, getting a bit lost, and falling asleep...

Hell, I used to have to build entire telephone exchanges out of Alcatel Lego-like blocks. Much time was wasted trying to fit square plugs into round holes.

Anyhow, could you e-mail me a telephone number or some other quick-and-easy way for me to contact you? Thanks. Cheers. Hope you feel better soon. Other random well wishes.
