We fly high, no lie...and you know this.

BALLIN!!!!!

Hey linux gurus, here's the haps:

I have 6.10 (thx Jaw) running on a Dell D820. The issue is, the normally intelligent dude who purchases laptops for this company didn't spend the extra $30 on the nvidia graphics card (previous entry was correct, this is a newer laptop than that one was) and instead is limiting me to the 945GM express chipset...basically, the windows video card.

Here's the thing, my graphics are alright, 1024x768, but I know that someone out there knows how to make it better...but all the links I've found to do so are broken. Anyone help out a complete and utter noob? I'll try to actually, you know, stick around and answer questions this time. I'm thinking there's something in the xorg file I can tweak, but I ain't seeing it, and as I said, N00B = me.

Any and all help appreciated.

So, sorry I didn't get to respond to the questions in my last entry, been super busy.

Here's an update:

I took a job with an investment firm in the DC area. Jen and I packed up during the week of the 18th and moved here on saturday the 20th. Our stuff got here the 23rd, and the movers unpacked the trailer that same day. So far, so good, got a lot of unpacking to do, lots of things to go. Had the directv and cox cable guys out on tuesday, and boy, did they ever do the shittiest job imaginable.

So the Cox guy comes out first, 3 hours before he's supposed to be here, and rather than come at the alloted time, he decided to just throw a welcome to Cox packet on my front door and left. Well, I went from DSL to Cable modem, and didn't have a cable modem. So my wife calls Cox dispatch and requests the tech get his ass back onsite. Ok, no problem, tech will be there in 2 hours. Dude never showed. Lovely. So...moving on. Directv dude shows up...4 hours late. I request a 5 LNB setup, since I'll be getting two new HD receivers and 2 new HD tvs shortly. Well, that's a no go, according to both Directv cust. support and the tech onsite. Fine, whatever, see you in a month, dickhead. Anyway, I get home right about the time dude is finishing up, and Jen's been unpacking the entire time...so no one is really paying close attention to what dude is doing. I walk down stairs to dude getting the picture up and working. Sweet. He leaves.

I go to check the lines, (I have a dual line tivo box) and am only seeing one signal. Fuck. Oh, and my cable modem doesn't work, nor does my digital phone line. Double fuck.

Anyway, I got to spend last night unfucking the giant nest of retardedness that was the directv dude's "install" job.

This MFer had removed all the Cox connections, and slapped on his on connectors. No biggie, I'll just move these to the correct places. Except this asshole had DUCT TAPED THE ENDS ON. I shit you not. Not crimped, duct tape. Unreal.

So around 11:30 last night I finally got everything hooked up right. I now have active ports in every room of the house. Sweetness.

Tons more unpacking to do, etc, etc. But I'm here.

How you doin?

Hey folks.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.6 and am having problems with my nvidia drivers on my laptop.

Anyone offer any advice?

Automatix didn't find anything for me....

thanks

Hey folks, been a while.

Been pretty busy with work, and all that.

Anyway, the wife and I are moving.

I was hoping some of you out there have experience moving long distances (state to state)...if so, care to share some wisdom?

Thanks.

This week I am not starting Big Ben, Ward, or Portis. I'm going with Delhomme, McGahee, T Jones, Roy Williams, Mushin Muhammed, Tony Gonzales, Vinatieri, and Pitt's D.

Sup ya'll?

More work, not much else for me. Fun fun.

How you doin?

I'm off thursday through monday, so I'll see you kids next week probably.

Whatcha got planned this weekend?

Me? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. And I love it.

What's going on?

Not much here, a lot of work, not a lot of play.

Such is life.

Hope ya'll are well.

So: here's what our hero's been up to:

El Wifo is in the process of buying a new car. An 06 Honda Accord EX-V6 to be exact.

Holy fucking crazy interest rates these days batman!

I bought my truck a little over 2 years ago, at an interest rate of 1.9%.

They initially offered a rate of almost 7 percent. WTF? She has great credit too.

So we're researching different routes, no effing way we pay that much juice.

Other than that, we are looking to buy a new house. New construction even.

It should be pretty nifty. That's a few months down the line, but we've got a ton of stuff to do to the current house so we can sell it.

It should be fun to watch me get off my lazy ass and actually do these things though.

Anyway, that's about it. Still playing lots of poker, still hanging out. George, good hear your family is safe. Things will work out dude, I know this. You'll be alright, so will Joe and Angie. It's hard, but you've got a ton of folks rooting for you.

How about the rest of you? How you doin?

This entry is mainly for Josh, Abmoraz, and the other rare poker player in our group.

You guys tried it out yet?

Holy fishfest batman.

Give it a go.

If you have, what did you think?

Hey there.

How are you doing?

So...friday night was the usual, poker at a friend's, where I ended up break even ( :( ) and drinking.

Saturday consisted of waking up, adding mulch to the flower beds, eating lunch, then heading to the theater with about 10 friends to watch Talledega Nights. Maybe it was the mood I was in, or the group vibe as a whole, or the fact that I've been waiting for this movie to come out since I first saw a preview 6 months ago, but we had a blast.

Most compare it to Anchorman. While I agree that the humor is somewhat similiar, this movie was over the top in it's hilarity. I really liked it.

Minor spoiler below:

The cougar scene where he says "I've got a cougar on my chest!" wasn't in the actual movie. That was a little disappointing, but you know how it goes.

After the movie, we grabbed some grub and then went to the Funny Farm, a comedy club.

Headlining was Greg Proops, from "Whose Line is it Anyway?".

Before he could get onstage though, a typical southern "christian" took offense to a mild Jesus joke that the second act of the night told. He started heckling the comedian. Big mistake. The comedian PWNED this fool.

Of course, this got Proop's dander up, and he started in on the guy too. I kinda felt sorry for the comedians having to deviate from their material to hammer one idiot back into the stoneage, but there were some gems thrown about.

Anyway, that was fun. I'm a believer in God, but wow, dude, if you go to a comedy club and don't expect to hear somewhat offensive jokes, then don't fucking go! Is this so hard to figure out?

Whatever.

Shout out to GMHowell. Life will work itself out, dude. No sweat.

How was your weekend?

well?
