Finally managed to get it all installed. Took about 3 hrs and a few reboots. Once it got installed, performance seems pretty reasonable. It still feels like it takes a long time to boot, but that may be because it doesn’t tell you what it’s doing. The JDS feels pretty nice. CD automounting seems to […]
Tried installing the newly released 5.4 as a guest. Its too bad that VMware doesn’t have tools support FreeBSD guests. I guess it’s just not a big enough market. It’s a shame because FreeBSD seems to run really well in the guest. A vmxnet here and a hgfs there, and it’d make a fine webserver. […]

Apparently my name and SSN were also on that laptop that got stolen.. didn’t get the letter until now because they sent it to my parent’s place in Oregon. What a pain. Do they keep around the info of everyone and anyone who ever heard of the school?
Finally opened myself an ameritrade account. I got an ING direct account already, but the 3% return seems pretty sad compared to what some of the better mutual funds do. So much information though, not sure where to start reading.
