I’ve been dealing over the past few days with quite a few spam comments on the blog, so I’ve disabled comment posting for the time being until I can find a suitable way of preventing those.

Slight Modifications
I just took a few minutes to spruce up the page a little and fix a small CSS bug. Nothing major.
On the other hand, I took a math exam yesterday and found out today I got a 100%. Today I also gave a presentation in Psychology with my group on Schizophrenia (link). A funny story: I put the presentation on a floppy disk and the disk got stuck inside my instructor’s laptop. It read the disk fine, but now he probably has to get a replacement floppy drive. Those antiquated pieces of junk 😉
I still need to do my accounting homework (test tomorrow) and finish a lab for math class, so I’ll be pretty busy.
Or whatever.
Coming Soon To A Blog Near You
You may have noticed that this page now resides at blog.bagelboy.org. That is because I intend to put a blogging program up. The only thing is I don’t know which one yet. So watch this space. The rest of the site will be designated for other stuff, like the temporary photo gallery page.
So uh, I’ve been going to school and stuff. I went the first two weeks not having my books (I ordered them from Half.com), so I was getting behind. Now that I finally have them, I’ve been working like mad to catch up and stuff. Took an accounting test yesterday, too. That was fun. Not :/
If you don’t see updates for a month, call out a search party. Heh.
Holy Crapoli, I B0rk3d It
Hey there, it’s me again. You know how I said I was going to do something radically different to the page? Well this isn’t it. I was not actually planning on putting a design like this up. Actually I was inspired by the discussion on Shackbattle T-shirts over at Shack News, where I saw this really cool font, entitled Base02. That’s what you see up there for my logo.
So what I’m trying to say with all this is that this isn’t the final site design, either. I have been experimenting with PHP-Nuke, but found it to have way too many options which I’ll never use. So I think what I am going to do is find out how to do my own news script, as that is the only way I think I will be satisfied.
In other completely random news (since I’m typing all this up anyway), I got my hands on copies of Mandrake Linux 9.2 and Slackware Linux 9.1 this afternoon. I am trying to set up a Linux server. Up until I installed Slackware I had it working great on Red Hat 9 with Apache and MySQL (to test my news script), and even had Samba working (for file sharing/backup purposes). Well I got Slackware installed with everything, since I just wanted to play with it for a little while. It was working pretty well. I then wanted to try Mandrake, but it burped out an error message when installing the LILO bootloader. So I went back to Slackware, meticulously selecting only the packages I need. Guess what? It also died when getting to the LILO installation. Coincidence? So I installed Red Hat again, and everything worked without a hitch.
^^^ Nobody cares. I know.
Well, someday I will have the real website up. Until then, later.
PS: Oh yeah, there are no comments at the moment. And I don’t know if there will be in the final site, either.
Update by m: Now, almost 24 hours later, I tried installing Slackware again (I think that would make like five installs total over the past day and half… ook). It turns out I was using “expert mode” and somehow made it so a few required things didn’t install. So I found the right setting (the “menu” install option) and it worked, although there are some issues that I don’t like. The init scripts are different enough from Red Hat’s that I at first had no idea what I was doing, and networking was configured during the install but my eth0 adapter was not activated at bootime. :/
Oh, and all iptables configuration has to be done by hand. Something I’d end up doing anyway, and something I guess one can expect from Slack 😉
Happy New Year, Etc.
I will be doing some major overhauling to the page in the next few days. I am going to actually bring in a new site design, as I don’t think the current one really works for what I want to do.
I might actually break something in the process, so don’t freak out. Oh, and I changed the comments so you don’t actually have to have an account to post stuff any more.
Update by m: This update is an imposter of the last update. The original has been tragically redirected to /dev/null 🙁
