Thoughts and Ramblings

General things I find of interest.

Truck fixed

Well, I finally got the truck fixed. I had a lot of trouble finding a time when I could actually take the thing in, so I had a lot of time when I was just unable to bring the truck in. Anyway, after about 31 hours (mostly waiting for parts), they got it fixed. It was a bad rotor and distributer. I also had them replace the spark plugs and their wires as well (since they were pretty much due anyway). All in all, it costs about $500.


Repository Up

I have now set up the subversion repository for a project I wish to start. The basics of the project is to get the server side part of iSync working on a server other than Apple’s. If this is completed, I can fully drop my .Mac subscription, and lose nothing that I care about. I guess this should be a lesson on not to over charge for poor services. If you persist in such action, someone will come along and replace you. It may be an inferior product in some respects, but the price is hard to beat in this case (free). So far very little is there: http://trac.cod3r.com/mySync


3 Offers

Well, I managed to get 3 offers it appears. Apparently, this many offers is very rare, so procedures are a bit different. I have all the groups talk to me some more, and then I have to decide between them. I was not told how much the offers were, just that they would be the same regardless of which I choose.

I guess I will have to see which looks most interesting…


New site

Just a quick post to let you all know that I have moved the blog to a new site. I got tired of the unreliability of rosehosting.com and so Matthew and I went together to get a server with about 3 times the capacity from unixshell.com. We are splitting the cost, and I am paying $.50 more per month.

Hopefully this will mean a lot less downtime, so there shouldn’t be long outages lasting a few days any more. Anyway, until next time…


On the Plane

I thought that I would write a post while I was on the plane. I had the time, and since I already had one post stored on the computer, it really doesn’t make much difference to make another. I am currently flying first class back to DFW. It is much, much nicer than flying in the rest of the plane. I actually have room for the computer to open the screen all the way, in addition to not having it pressed against my chest. The nice, free breakfast along with the Chardonnay was a plus too.
