Last week a lot of things happened which is one reason why I have not updated in so long. I had two exams which I believe I did fairly well on (yay!). A 311 (algorithms) exam and a 445 [information systems (databases)] exam. Also my group in 320 (software design) had a group presentation to…

The weekend oh whoa started early friday morning when urgo.org lost its connectivity to the internet. It turns out that at&t wanted to switch ips on me. Instead of 65.96.45.246 urgo.org is currently @ 24.218.103.37, a more cableish ip. Downtime was waaaaay longer then I wished for and ended up in a reboot.. 🙁 Oh…

Well shire is finally fully running debian! I spent the last several hours (its 3am now eak! Time for bed after this post) getting lilo back on, getting xp on the lilo bootup menu, getting X to run (fixing the no screens found error), and getting my ethernet card to work. Now it all works!…

School is just starting to dump a lot of work on me so I thought I’d share a few cool links before I go insane. This week has not been that bad, but looking ahead to next week I have an exam, two homeworks due, a presentation to do, a wemalu meeting to goto (see…

Yesterday was hell. Class all day then 6 hours of 311 homework.. fun fun. Today was much better. After classes and work and such I came home and realized that I still hadn’t taken pictures of the room for the site. I took a bunch of pictures for a 360 degree thingy but I lack…

I just got back from the September 2002 2600 meeting which took place like usual in Northampton Mass. This is only the second meeting I have attended but I’m kicking myself for not going to these sooner. It’s a great place with lots of cool people talking about technology and other relative topics in today’s…

Two major events occurred today that will effect me for the rest of my… semester? Today was the first day of classes here at UMass. So far I’ve only been to my psych class which seems pretty cool and 311 which doesn’t seem as bad. We got a new book so hopefully it’ll be readable…

Apparently someone doesn’t care for the opinions expressed on this site since for the past 12 hours urgo.org has been under a DDoS attack. Several other things are hosted off here such as mycmatera.com, dotGET.org, and a few other misc things like an irc bot or two so I have no idea why exactly I’m…

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! One of my favorite commercials, at least for this time of year, is the staples commercial where theres this guy gliding through the isles at staples in a shopping cart and two kids looking like WTF, school again? I feel a little like all of the characters…
