I've been tired of my current bookmarks app for a while now... Not really because it doesn't do what I want... because it works really well. However, I want it themeable, preferably with smarty so I could use the same them I have for my blog. I've been looking and haven't found anything I like, so I'll probably end up writing my own, *when i find the time*... story of my life...
I finally got it back up and running last night... man... almost a whole week without it... (I started the rebuild sunday night) and maybe its just me... but it seems to be a bit snappier than it was before... Not sure if its because this time I went from a stage 2 install instead of the stage 3 I did before. Or it might be the fact I've only got one module loaded and everything else is compiled into the kernel with no intrd image.... Anyhow, I'm liking it. I got most of the applications I need installed, still working on the multimedia apps but those should only take me another couple hours to make sure they're working correctly.
It's been about a year since I originally built my gentoo box at home. I've been getting a bunch of dependancy problems with the beta/testing ebuilds of epiphany which have been keeping me from being able to update the system. So instead of trying to figure out what it was doing and why, I opted to reload my / partition because I had just about filled it up anyway (had about 8GB of software in it... and I've NEVER had that much before...) so for the last couple days I've been building it. I would have been done in 1 and a half days however I ran into problems with my SATA controler again. Seems I removed something from the kernel config I shouldn't have... I played with it for a day... then finally gave in and admited it was probably something I removed that was making it not work right. So, I removed my .config file and started from scratch, this time only enabling what I knew I needed and removing the floppy block device because I don't have one. Recompiled and after playing with my root= options from grub, I was able to boot just fine. So last night I emerged gnome and supporting libs, and this morning I emerged evolution2. I should be ready to go when I get home now finally. I will just have to configure X again. (which is really easy) So I should be up and running in a couple of minutes when I get home. Then I'll go back and lean up my kernel :)
Phrame Tutorial with Smarty
Found this article, figure I'm going to start here with creating some web apps for work. Should be really pretty easy it seems. Anyhow I'm tired and I'm going to bed.
My wifes been saying she wants a puppy for a couple months, and saturday she essintally said "We're going to Petsmart in Orem to adopt a puppy". I didn't have much of a choice... However we did come home with a rather cute little Jack Russel Terrier Mix...(the mom was the terrier, and the dad was a mix of atleast a Australian Sheep dog? and a Blue Heeler) So, she doesn't really look like a terrier other than her size. She'll stay small, but shes kinda a fat little dog. I'm not sure what my wife has planned to name her, shes been trying to deside between two names "Akira" and "Echo". She was leaning toward Akira but couldn't deside, so I just started calling her Akira. Getting her house trained is the next big thing. I think I'm getting a handle on it however. She'll go, just have to remember to take her outside every 2-3 hours atleast. However, shes also getting alot better at going on these trainning pads we bought her as well. Locking her in the kitchen during the night seems to be working, last night she only went on the mats. Anyway, I know I still have a long ways to go with her, but I think were going in the right direction.
What is it about work sometimes that makes IT people loose all interest for doing IT stuff. I'm speaking mostly from my own experience. Its not that I'm loosing my passion for computers and IT stuff. Its just a (emotional?) drain that by the time the day is done, and I get home, I just don't feel like working on this site much lately. I just want to kick back and watch movies. (however my wife doesn't like that to much.. :) ) I just wonder if this is a sign I need a change at work or just a vacation from work. Anyway, I hope to keep this updated as time moves on.
I'm still trying to get mythtv setup on a friends box (an ITX Via C3-2 proc). I haven't been spending a whole lot of time on it mind you, however, the problems I'm experiencing are more because of the hardware. (the C3-2) Its a little bit different in a couple of areas and I'm trying to make it as lean and fast as possible because speed is my main priority. With that, I've been using an -Os as one of my compile options, and I'm not sure if its because the proc is only a 1Ghz, or if compiling for size just takes that much longer. When I setup my main box i'm currently using (Athlon 2800+) I believe i had it up in about 3 days start to finish. Its probably because that computer is sitting on the floor and its unconfortable to sit down with it... I do have everything installed now I just need to do the configuring, so I'm hoping that won't take long. :)
Only as you do know yourself can your brain serve you as a sharp and efficient tool. Know your own failings, passions, and prejudices so you can separate them from what you see.
