two things have been brought to my attention recently:
- it's not obvious that the above picture is of my laptop panicking
- my recent entries have been boring
strangely, the two have something to do with each other.
the past few days have seen me trying to get my ipaq talking to mac os x. i can't even begin to describe what i've been doing with this in anything resembling interesting prose.
also, the kernel driver i've been doing today makes my laptop crash.
i seem to have spent the last 5 hours mostly doing cut-n-paste (though by re-typing it rather than actual cutting/pasting so i can learn some of this stuff). when i turn my ipaq on i get a /dev/pocketpc0 and when i turn it off it goes away. i can even open this device and read an infinite number of the character 'f' from it:
jacob@wet-pants:jacob$ sudo dd if=/dev/pocketpc0 of=/dev/null count=128 0+128 records in 0+1 records out 128 bytes transferred in 0.106380 secs (1203 bytes/sec) jacob@wet-pants:jacob$ _
tomorrow i have to finish some things i was too lazy to implement, and to actully hook up the device in /dev to the ipaq. and then it's GO TIME.
(see, i said it's boring)
in other news i had some yummy thai at phik's while we watched the bruins suck. it is sad, but joe and i can tell in the first 5 minutes of a game if the bruins are going to win or lose.
also, we played some halo. phil will tell you that he doesn't like it when i get the invisibility thing and snipe him as he respawns, but i will tell you that i don't like it when phil wins. i think it's a fair trade. in any case, BOY do we have a surprise for joe and shaver when we play mitten(s?) on battle creek.
last night when i went to bed i was really excited about all these things i was going to do during the day. when i woke up, i couldn't remember any of them.
