CowboyNeal's Journal: The Big Switch

Man, it was such a good idea to switch Slashdot to new code on a weekend. It's giving us so much time to prepare for the influx of traffic that will no doubt happen on Monday.

Anyway, I'm chasing down bugs today while also trying to upgrade my laptop from Linux 2.4.1 -> Linux 2.4.9. Unfortunately, 2.4.9 has decided that my PCMCIA slot no longer exists, and with no networking, a computer is near useless to me. Looks like I'll be reverting and waiting for the next release. Oddly, 2.4.9 worked dandy on my firewall, and all the problems I had with NAT under the old 2.4.2 version it was running have been remedied. Cheers to Rusty and the netfilter team.

Also, it looks like Cartoon Network is going to begin showing the original Dragon Ball on Toonami, so I made sure to set a season pass for it in TiVo.

Well, I'm off to go feed the dogs for my parents, who are gone on vacation. Sometimes I wish they could hire someone who lives closer to take care of them, but I also kind of like letting them run around outside for awhile. They're always so happy to be let off the leash.
