I finally got my APT setup for the way I think might be the most optimal till I move in Dec. Sadly it took the falling apart of my sitting chair to help me find it. But I also brought my TV back out since I have gotten a Game Cube. Here are the pics that I have taken of my place.
So that is my home for now. I have to many things pluged in for this place, I have 6 6-plug adaptors and on 9-plug adaptor all in use, and only 2 of them have any spare ports on them for anything. I am just glad I don’t us AC, that would really be a major draw on the power I use. No I don’t pay for my Utilities, those are included in my rent, but I don’t think my apartment could take it if I had that with all the electronics that I have in this place.

I find this funny some one is tring to add a link to my site, I don’t know what they want to add, but the link section, I have deleted the add.php file so that no one can add a link to the site unless it is me. But some one at the following address 207.46.98.36 has tried 7 times last night to do it. from the log of the web server

I have typed in so many CD keys today, I wish that the software companys would find a better way to protect their software. Besides I do not think that these CD keys help. But I am almost finished setting up the CD stuff, next I have to install the stuff I downloaded to the laptop that I would like to have on the desktop, and install a few programs from the servers from work so I can connect to the office when I am at home.

Well the new computer came, I had to wipe it clean from all the preinstalled shit. Then now I am installing all the software that will make it useful. First I had to install VC++ 6.0 so for the days I want to work from home. I had to install all drivers for all the hardware I had rall ready owned. Just installed the Palm pilot software. Now I just have to install quicken. I am going to throw on a few games I own but have not played in a long time, but I forgot how often you have to reboot windows when you first set it up. Then I will be adding the IM programs that Trish likes to use so I can talk to her.

Well I went out to home depot to get the wood planks. But before I went my pastor suggested that I should go into the shelving secion and look first. So when I went in there I found some nice looking shelfs with an oak finish on it. Matchs my desks very nicly so I got 2 of them, they are not fully oak, but have a oak looking finish on it. So I picked up 2 of them they are 10 in by 3 feed. They make a nice addtion to the desks.

The last of my new computers

Well looks like the last of my computers will come tomorrow. So I will get to set that up in the morning, I will be heading out to my parents place, I am going to go over later at their request since they are driving back from Florida today, in fact I called them at 1:30 and they were still an hour away from home. So they are going to be tired on the morrow. I am use to these strange night sleeps and, I lost the ability to do it for a while, but for some reason that ability has come back, I don’t like it to much but hay it is life. After I post this blog entry I probably will go and do an 6 or 7 hour reboot of my body. I plan on getting up at 9 so I can get to church for Matins at 9:30am. Back to the original topic of this entry, I will probably need another table for the new computer. or simply 2 2×4’s, I am leaning to the 2 2×4’s First they are cheaper, and second they are a bit more portable if I need to move things around. And finally they will take up less room. I figure I can put the 2 blocks of wood as a cross beam to bridge the two desks, and put the LCD screen on one of them and the key board and mouse on the other one. At that point the 2 oak desks I have will form a “U” with the wood boards connecting them and making the bottom of the “U”. If I do that, I will probably spread the two screens of the other desktops out more on the main computer desk, and move one of the laptops onto the boards with the LCD and keyboard of the gateway computer. Then spread the to laptops out a bit more for more room on the secondary computer desk. Well I will figure out what to do tomorrow, I probably stop by Home Depot to see what they have in the way of 2×4’s I would like some that are nice think Oak so that it will match my desks.

I will post more when I get home later today or tomorrow when I get up. Well if it is tomorrow it probably will be later since the new computer should come tomorrow and I will probably take some time to set it up.

As of tomorrow I have a week off of work, but I will probably still do some work over my vacation since we have a major demo comming up again in September. The reason I am taking my vacation is not that I need a break, work is good, but my sister is in town from Austria, and I would like to visist with her when she is in. This way I don’t have to make sure I get into work hyper early in the morrning, I can get up at my normal time (or maybe later) and still have time to spend with my sister. This weekend I really hope we can go to the Renasaunce Festival out in Ohiopile, my whole family always enjoy it.

Keeping the web site up todate

I though I could mount my ftp site for my web site on my Linux box, I found a program called lufs. It promises to be able to mount file different systems as a file system on a Linux box. I tried it out, but I kept getting the following messages in my system logs “could not resolve host ftp.mikeoconnor.net”. And I kept losing contact with the server. I just need to find a way to keep two copies of my web site in sync, a local copy and a remote copy (the copy you are looking at.) If any one knows of a good program for keeping files for a web site on Linux in sync I would love to hear about it, just leave a comment and point me to it, and I will take a look at it. Right now I can use Midnight commander to read and write my files over ftp, but it is not emacs, and I am a big fan of emacs for any time of editing be it C++ programming or HTML or PHP (well for when I learn PHP)

I Just got a Blogging software for Linux to post to this blog. The Software is called BloGTK from http://blogtk.sourceforge.net/ It has all the features that I wanted in a software. It works on Linux it has spell checker and I can select the Category for my Posts. So now I have some software for windows when I am at work, I have some software for my Palm Pilot when I am on the go, and when I am at home I got some software for posting to my blog off of my Linux box, where I will do most of my web site stuff. I am finally getting the Linux box setup to a point where it works well for me and will do things that I need it to do. It is nice to be back into Linux once again.

If you search of “Mike OConnor” my site is the first to get hit by google check it out http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=Mike+OConnor&btnG=Search I just wish I could get it listed under “Mike O’Connor” and “Michael O’Connor” and maybe “Michael P. O’Connor” But hay I got listed (and first to boot) under “Mike OConnor”

Update: Sep 16, since I changed the name this is no longer true but if you search for Michael P. OConnor I am in the top 3.

My apartment

Things are getting very crowed in my apartment I have been asking for the last 2 and a half years for some storage space in the storage lockers, that according to my lease I am entitled to. But as of yet I have not gotten it. Things in my apartment have gotten very crowed as of late. I will have to move in Dec since I just don’t have the room in this place. I have had to go vertical to keep things out of the way. One of my closets is so full that it is dangerous if you open the closets. But Dec is 3 and a half months away, and this condition is just going to get worse.
