I fnished my artificial life simulator over the weekend, and I have been running simulations on it. There were a few bugs initially that I quickly fixed. My initial simulations gave me some inexplicable “population explosion”. For example, in one cycle I would have 31 creatures and in the next cycle I would suddenly have…

You know what’s so sweet? I am using Winamp to make an http connection to my FreeBSD machine to access music that’s on my XP machine through an SMB share. So my music goes from my XP machine through the SMB share to my FreeBSD machine and from there over the internet through a symlinked…
Keys to house and Military Ball
I am getting the keys to my house today! Woohoo! Isn’t that great? But moving is going to suck. Luckily I don’t have too much stuff… although it is amazing the amount of stuff I have accumulated over the past five years. It’s pretty crazy. Other than that, nothing much. But this house thing is…
First set of albums uploaded
After Sadhu’s incessant nagging, which proved to be a great disturbance to the course of my normal life, I have uploaded most of the pictures I took over summer. Ok, it’s not as bad as it sounds! Just kidding Sadhu ;). I did procrastinate a little bit in putting these pictures up, but I was…
Sad Day
I just found out that my friend Arun’s father passed away today. I only found out about it after reading Ed’s log. It was too late to go to the funeral since it was earlier in the day. I pray that God provides him and his family the strength to bear the loss.
I rox0r
I have some music files on my server that are accessible through http (only by me). So instead of keeping them on my laptop, I decided to add the URL’s to Winamp. But that was too painful. So I took the html files and stripped out the tags (using sed) so that I have the…
Mailserver woes
As expected, something went wrong. I had a vague sense of intuition that it would be my mailserver… and it was. I reinstalled postfix and everything is working. I was reinstalling courier-imap when it complained about libintl.so.4. I hate that file SO MUCH. It always shows up. Stupid shared lib. It comes from gettext, and…
Photo Album – 2 years and still going strong!
My photo album has been up for two years now 🙂 Wow… I still remember writing it!
Upgraded to FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE
I upgraded my server OS to FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE. It was painles… ok I won’t lie… it was mostly painless. With me, nothing ever goes according to plan. Anywaym things look good for now. Hopefully this will get rid of those annoying kernel panics when I transfer large files. I hear that issue was fixed in…
DS9 DVD’s
I’ve been burning all the DS9 episodes that I got, onto DVD’s. Being the perfectionist that I am, I am bothered by some mistakes I made when making some of the DVD’s. Inconsistencies bother me. For example, for one of the Season 1 DVD’s, I put a Season 2 background. Furthermore, I forgot to put…
