Red Hat Enterprise Linux (hell) that is.
Quick update, school is back in session and I am a full time student. I'm only taking 5 classes. Lucky for me, one of them is Exercise aka gym, so in effect, I'm taking 4 actual classes. One of them just happens to be a Red Hat class. Nice, I was never a fan of the Red Hat distro. At any rate, my desk is mega-geeked out with 2 computers parked around it. I managed to snag the mother-in-law's fairly new Dell and cram a "old" 40 gig drive in and install RHEL and use as a dedicated computer for this class. Much better than the 2 old gateway computers setting in the closet. At any rate, this is cutting into my homework time. GTG
My phone rang this morning on the dresser while we were all sitting in the living room watching cartoons with Evan and checking our email and stuff. Since I didn't answer, I heard the Motorola "missed call beep" a short time later. I had a new voice mail. I was kind of concerned. Who was calling at 9:45 on a Sunday morning? I did have an appointment this afternoon to replace a faulty wireless router for a client; was he calling to cancel? This is where everything goes down hill real quick. It was a pre-recorded message telling me some b.s. website to visit for the latest stock picks that are expected to have up to 750% growth. Great! Now I am getting spam recordings on my cell phone. Now I am fully expecting messages to save on my meds and increase my manhood. At least our phone plan has free incoming calls. Damn!
My car that is! The guy working on my car calls me last night and tells me my car is ready and also that he has some good news. "Turns out I owe you some money"... what?!
He was able to fix the problem with the old transmission and didn't need to replace the whole thing and luckily for him, the new tranny hadn't even shipped yet; I had already paid him for a new tranny. Turns out the problem was what I was thinking, a bearing had gone out. He replace the bearing and that cured the noise. So last night, I got my car and some money back.
...that is written by me.
There go the holidays. After what seems like ages, its back to work tomorrow. It was fun while it lasted. I'm expecting a call any day now from the guy working on my car to tell me its done. Both Becky and I will be happy to get my car back. She has stated quite a few times that being a one vehicle family sucks and I wholeheartedly agree. At least I know that I have her blessing on getting a motorcycle since she got me motorcycle boots and a leather jacket for Christmas. As far as bike choices, I'd prefer something newer with fuel injection, since I've never had a vehicle with a carburetor. Given my budget, I've pretty much narrowed my first choice to the Yamaha R6. The earlier years weren't fuel injected, but as long as it starts right up, thats fine by me :)
