The semester is over. Had my CSE 421 final yesterday. I’m a true CSE major now. I really miss that class. It was an awesome experience. Got CUPS working on my FreeBSD machine. I can print to my Windows shared printer. I also have OpenOffice installed. Trying to get the CrossOver plugin to install Trillian….

Samba
Got samba working on my FreeBSD machine. Now I can access NFS shares from my XP box.
Fixed Sharity Light Problem
Fixed the problem. I had (wrongly) set the hostname for my XP box as 10.0.0.1. D’OH! It should have been 10.0.0.2. Works perfectly now!
Cisco 678
Got my Cisco 678 modem today. It’s set up and seems to be running fine. Ran into a few quirks (why does this always happen to me?) but ironed it all out. Need to configure my FreeBSD machine now.
New DSL modem, a possiblity of Employment and not going to California
Qwest is sending me a Cisco 678. The 675 doesn’t work with our current line. Also, using the Intel Pro/DSL 3200 USB modem is a pain. It royally sucks. Plus, my FreeBSD machine doesn’t recognize it. If I get the 678, I can just hook it up to the uplink port of the hub and…
I rule!
It works!! It works!! The machine wasn’t able to resolve IP addresses. So I added the IP of the nameserver (that I got from my WinXP box my using nslookup) to /etc/resolv.conf and now it works. =D I’m sooo happy!!
resolv.conf
vi resolv.conf…. nameserver 206.80.192.1… reboot… cross my fingers… hope this works…
Sound works
I’ve got sound working on my FreeBSD box. Finally. I tracked it down to a conflict between the onboard card and the sound card from my old HP Pavilion. I thought the card was a Soundblaster Live! But it turned out to be some wierd (unsupported) sound-modem combo card called Chameleon. I read that it’s…
Productive… Sort of…
I was sort of productive… I came up with an algorithm for Lab 8. Then after reinstalling FreeBSD like 10 million times (I hate those damned Write Transfer errors) I have finally got it set up… sort of… The sound doesn’t work. I can’t hear anything. I’ve got the box talking to my WinXP box,…
KazaaLite
Ok, so I’m late on the scene. It’s obvious. I got Kazaa Lite. Bye-Bye Spyware! I also got this ready-made HOSTS file that points all those stupid ad URLS to a bogus IP. Hahaha! No more stupid ads. They just open up witha page not found error. Also, I don’t see dumb banner ads on…
