Pete's Log: Log Entry 390

Entry #390, (Life in General)
(posted when I was 22 years old.)

it seems that my journal database system is in need of urgent fixing, since after updating the debian install on esgeroth, it's been barfing at me for having a column named "when" in the script. so since i'm waiting for some more packages to download (56K isn't sufficient for my needs) i figure i may as well see if i can still create new log entries... it seems only things that explicitly mention the "when" column fail.

the mouse we stole from ftp doesn't seem to work, so esgeroth is now using its original mouse from long ago ... two buttons... not ideal, but it'll do. i've gotten x working after the battle with the other mouse. at one point x would completely freeze esgeroth when i started it, due to the mouse, since when i told it to not use the ps/2 mouse, that stopped happening... grrr...

i think i've gotten the sound card working again. i really need to write down all the irq's and stuff so i don't have to do this experimenting every time...

the 10 card is back in esgeroth, since 1: we're having trouble getting the 10/100 working and 2: we'll need it eventually anyway since we're going to hopefully get broadband...
