Geek Week
Well since Russ is sick of my bitching about my car I will keep it brief today. The car has been running beautifully since Wednesday. Nuff Said. Now that the cars all set I have had time to do more geeky stuff. I fixed urgo.org's neomail (chris if you want to use it drop me an email or im), and I am working on getting impmail setup.. a webmail program that displays html email since neomail does not. Another cool addition to urgo.org is the little bandwith thingy down on the left sidebar. Click it and look how much bandwith my server is using. =] You'll also notice (ok maybe you wouldn’t know, but anyway) a new computer listed there, umbar. Today I setup a linux box as a router for Mac's apartment so they can all get on the Internet. It took a few hours but I got it working thanks to a usenet post. In other geek news I got a bunch of coding done on .GET this weekend. I fixed some bugs and began the coding of the router support. This has been a major problem for people so hopefully within a week I'll have a version out that supports it. To end my geek week off today I visited Sean. Sean has been working on a really cool project (along with Pulski's help) of getting a computer installed in his car. He has a PS One monitor mounted up by his radio and the computer in his trunk. He has it setup so he can listen to his 40 or so gigs of mp3s and watch several movies while driving. How cool is that! The computer itself is in his trunk and there are no visible wires running up to the front. He has a # pad and a mouse to control the computer up in the front too. Tomorrow he is getting a GPS system setup in there too on his computer. If I had $800 or so dollars to throw around I think that this would be a great project for my car. Shoot. I talked about cars again russ. And I was bitchin about it too. SORRY! As for gossip.... all I can say is that there might be trouble in paradise.... Nah just kindding. Sorry, fresh out of gossip today. Posted by Urgo at June 30, 2002 11:57 PMComments
Wow an in-car computer that uses the PSone screen. That doesn't seem at all familiar. I hope he isn't taking all the credit for that one. Posted by: marf on July 7, 2002 01:42 PMHeh. He actually did think it up all himself. I did not talk to him about your idea before he did it, and I doubt you talked to him. And actually it was my idea to make it an in car computer. You were gonna carry it around =] Posted by: Urgo on July 8, 2002 03:17 PMDamn I hate that kid. Why does he have to copy me? If I jumped off a bridge would he? I mean really.
