i wouldn't say i'm a "patriotic" person, but last week when we were at the bruins game, and again tonight watching the game in ottawa, i do get chill down my spine when the crowd loudly applauds the national anthem.
i tried to get the usb ding-dong to work on the lustre server (so i could just leave it in a closet). i spent at least an hour wondering why nothing was happening when i plugged it in / loaded the module. it turned out that i hadn't built the ohci usb controller driver. oh well.
also i built a shiny, new rh9-based cross-compiler.
i used to like april fool's day, but boy do i hate it these days. there are way too many people who can post their non-funny april fool's jokes where i might run into them. oh well.
