I am now having it copy my files over to the new computer. This could take a bit of time, it will be faster then if I tried it over the network, but still might take time, I have about 15Gb of data on the iBook. When I finish I will probably take the music and the pics off of the iBook to save room. The music is portable on the iPod, and the pics are for home use only for the most part.
Well I pulled an all nighter to get some work done that needed to get done. John is designing a database for use with a program I am working on, I was there to answer any (the few he had) about the variables in the program, and I looked for some ODBC drivers for C++. So during the night I kept an eye on the shipment last update was 6:17am Arrived at FedEx Ramp in Pittsburgh PA. I just hope it gets delivered today. I want to get started to migrate all important Mac data to it. I probably use the iBook for note taking during meetings and during class. Also I just want to test out the power on that baby. 1.25 G4, with a gig of ram, this computer is going to be sweet. More the database, most everything else for this program is a bit stalled while this database gets done. I will probably spend the day extracting the data for one city to excel so it is all ready for the database when it gets done.
So I should have it soon. I went over board on it, and got over night shipping so I should have it tomorrow. This assumes fedex does not fsck up again. The last 2 things I ordered from apple that were shipped fedex, were not delivered correctly. The first one, was not delivered till a week after the date on their web site. The second time, I was tracking every 10 minutes, and I was at home, and saw on their site it was labled, no one home, the fedex guy never came. I had to call and have him return, again, it listed no one home, the guy probably just wanted a break and lied on the tracking.
It is done, all the mail and all the contacts are now in evolution. The mail is moved. The only thing left on the windows box is quicken stuff, and games (which I don’t play many of.) The question now is when the other intel comes in should I let it stay windows (since it a pre-built one it will have windows installed) or should I put another linux on it, or should I play with a new OS. I am strongly leaning to a new OS. And let my only windows box be the laptop, I don’t need more then one windows box.
Ok so this is going on too long, but the good news is that all the email is now off of lookout. And most of it has been moved from the imap account onto my new Linux box. Now all I have to do is figure out how to get the contacts out of outlook, or how to replicate all my contacts to evolution. For that last task I think I might be able to use the palm pilot, or palm desktop to get a better copy of all this data.
Wow this is painfull, but now I got the mail going on the move again. I have moved all my old arcives of my mailling lists, inbox and old inbox. Next I have to move my “People” folders, the I will have to see if it is posable to move my contacts. I hold out no hope to move the filters, since instead of a file they are stored in the windows registry (boo hiss). Oh well I will just have to rebuild the filters, but that should not be to hard. What I like about ehostpros, is that you can setup spam filters on the server side, so the spam does not get to me at all.
Well lookout, is not letting me finish moving my mail. I has stoped copying my email to my imap server. I guess it might have figured out that I am not going to use lookout, and you know how MS, is, lock the user out of leaving if posable. Well I will get my email out of lookout if it is the last thing I do! I got about 40% of my mail off of lookout so far, so I should be finished in the next few days, if all goes well.
I am moving my mail from the old lookout program to evolution. I could not get any method of converting the mail to work, so now I am using my imap server I have access to, to put the mail on it, and copy it down to the evolution program. It will be worth it once the mail is finaly moved over. I think evolution is a better program then all the other ones out there, so I will use it. It could be another late night for since I have about 3 years of email arcived in my mail history. The upload is the slow part, the download is ok, not the greatest but it is ok.
Well I started the net install at 1:30am, and it did not finish till 11:30 am. I took out my DSL speed for 10 hours. Well at lest I slept for most of the install. But it got done, and it looks ok, I just have to configure the interface to my personal settings, so I can feel right at home when ever I sit down at the computer. I will be moving my email over to the linux box also.
This is going to be painfull to my bandwidth, but I tried to get Fedora Core 2 installed on my new computer. The burn a friend of mine did for me just would not work, don’t know what is so borked about it but it will not pass the md5sum check. So I am doing a net install of it. So my bandwidth is going to be dead for the next few hours. But if it works it just might be worth it.
Today was a nice day to go biking, I went with some friends, and a friend of theirs from Milwaukee. We biked for about 3 hours, then ended up in the south side for some lunch, the I biked on home, for a total of 3.5 hours of biking for me, I have not gotten a chance to go biking for that amount of time in a few weeks, it felt great to get back out on the trials. If you look in my photo section you can see the new pictures I have just added from today’s biking trip.
Ok I have a few friends in wplug, not all of them are jerks. My friends have said over the last few years that things have gotten better at wplug. So ok I trusted my friends on that one. So tonight I go into the chat room for wplug. Well we were talking about money stuff, and well we did not agree, ok cool who cares, but I though I had something I could think about. But they then go on to insult my patents, who they have never meet. So when they did that I basically tell them to go **** themselves and promptly left. And decided that since they could not have respect for some one they have not meet their thoughts are automatically trashed and purged from my mind. Well it looks like they have not improved over at wplug, it is just as bad as it was before, if not worse, since if you disagree with them on something your parents are automatically in their statements bad parents!! well they can have their little wplug, I will not be going again!! Maybe I should have handled it a bit differently and I should not have sworn at them, but I was just so infuriated. I love my mom, and I do not like it when people insult her, you can insult me all you want, but just don’t insult my mother.
this site http://kerryoniraq.com/ shows all his flip flops when it comes to Iraq, both times. Kerry make up your damn mind.
Boy do the makers of slackware make it ever hard to get a copy of slackware, it took me about an hour before I went to the slackware chate room on the freenode irc servers, to ask for where I could get one, so now I am killing my bandwidth downloading 2 ISO’s right now. But in 2 maybe 3 hours I will have the slackware ISO to burn to CD for when the gateway gets here.
Well the question now is I want to move all my music and Pictures from my iBook to the eMac when it comes, I just wish I did not have to want till the eMac comes, but I think I figured out how to move the music. I found the XML for the Music and the Photos. I think I have the answers; I will not be deleting the data off of the iBook till I am sure that I got the data transported to the new computer safely. I am wondering if I should just do it over a network or copy all the data to my fire wire drive and copy it to the eMac when it comes. This will take some playing with to get it to go, but I believe the answer to copy the raw data files and the XML files and it should work I think. Well as long I keep the data on my iBook I will not have to worry about how to do it. But it looks like I will have to want 10 days till I can try it.
And with the Linux stuff I am playing around to see if I can get my mail files imported to evolution, a good mail client for Linux. If I can do that, I will have that good mail client back. That will put the old Gateway laptop with XP on it, to only Quicken and Palm pilot stuff. Each system in my place will have a job, and a job for each system. Well at lest I will be able to play with a full network with each of the main OS’es on it in my place.
I think Nintendo is make a mistake with the “game key cards” the new digital only game cards that Nintendo is doing. With the situation where more 3rd parties are doing those instead of a real game card. I will not buy a game that not fully on the disc or on the cart, which[…]
Well looking at the new switch 2 that is to come out soon, I originally was excited and was thinking of pre-ordering it. But after the news of both the system, and the games, my doubt started to set in. Then I looked at the launch line up, and found none that I wanted. And[…]
