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…

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…
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…
Server Crash
My server crashed. Horribly. I’m not sure what happened, but I woke up this morning to find both my machines had powered down. I assume that we had some sort of power failure. Power failures are very bad on complex file-systems. I learnt this the hard way. I lost 77% of my database. Basically the…
smbfs
Sharity-Lite stopped working… No, wait… Actually it might have been my Windows machine. Ever since I installed that piece-of-crap Xilix ISE and ModelSim software my computer has been acting weird. It wouldn’t authenticate requests from Sharity-Light. The only way I could mount drives was if I enable simple file sharing. I couldn’t have that… I…
Some new screenshots
I’ve got… like FOUR screenshots of KDE 3.1. Yeah, I was bored. I added support for PNG images to the image manipulation script. KDE 3.1 is pretty sweet… but ever since the update, samba and cups have been acting strange. Samba works for the most part. Cups doesn’t work at all… I can send raw…
CUPS working
Got CUPS working. I really should document my work… smb://vivin@excelsior/HPDeskjet812C… Anyways, all I have left to do is set up the colour scheme and stuff like that… of KDE… and install Mozilla again… Fun… Fun…
FreeBSD 5.0
Installed FreeBSD 5.0. Of course, nothing went as planned. I downloaded the ISO’s and burned them, but the CD’s turned out to be worthless as they wouldn’t boot. Don’t know why. So I ended up with a couple of coasters. I decided to do it instead through FreeBSD. It worked this time. Got my system…
Semester Done
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.
