My FreeBSD machine is configured to the Cisco 678… I just need to figure out how to configure sharity light again… Hmm… Oh yeah, I took out the 20Gb harddrive from the XP box and put it into the FreeBSD box. FreeBSD recognizes it. No surprise.

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.
Intel, Lab 9
Just got a call from Intel today. Found out that I’ve been selected for an interview there. I’ll be doing the interview… and if I get both (!) then I’ll have to decide which one I want. It feels good to know that I’ve been selected… Lab 9 is pretty interesting! It’s gonna be hella…
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…
Horrible
How hard can installing a new OS get? Pretty damn hard. It took three hard disks and two other OS’es to get it right. Huh what? Yeah you heard me… I wanted switch from Windows XP Home to Windows XP Professional. So I pull out a pre-activated copy (muhaha) that my buddy gave me a…
Lab looks like it works
My lab looks like it works. I think this has been completely unfair. I’ve been working on it for a week… and it’s as if I just started… Sometimes you get it, sometimes you don’t…
More FreeBSD
I learnt some new stuff. CvsUP is pretty neat. I learnt the hard way that when you do a make buildworld you have rebuild the kernel the non-traditional way. My kernel wasn’t compiling and for a moment I thought I would have to go through all that madness with write failure on transfers again. See,…
Interview + FreeBSD + 421 = Geek
I had an interview with Motorola on Friday. It went alright I think. I hope I get the job. It’s for an internship in spring. They asked me if I’d be interested in working through summer and fall, and I said yes. They were pretty impressed with my resume, which reminds me… I should update…
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…
