2007/10/29 – Monday – Frustrating

Lunch was with my buddy over to Quizno’s

Cheryl took Amanda to Church group.

I started work on the computers. I worked on BOINC on most of the machines; Eric machine was giving my fits, but finally I got it fixed. I worked on the Linux machine. I was not able to upgrade it to the next version via CD, but I was able to reinstall BOINC with a new version (test) and its working good currently.

Cheryl picked up Amanda and got dinner for them.

2007/10/15 – Monday – Parts – Blog Action Day

Environment is the subject of the day. Well, I like to enjoy our lands, not from afar, but on the land (don’t get me started). We have explored many places in the Western US. One thing I notice (might it be a stereotype) if it is the part of town that has the lower income people then the area is a mess. Again might it be a stereotype, but the lower income people shopping at Wal*mart near us are making it an extremely trashy location. The parking lot ALWAYS has trash all over it. I do think if we can get the companies to keep their properties cleaned up, then it might spread some sense of cleanliness around the neighborhood.

Now back to my normal mundane daily dribble.

Lunch was with my buddy; I took the van to pick up the RV parts from the dealer. And we stopped at Wienerschnitzel – hot dog + corn dog.

Cheryl is home when I got home – hurray.

I installed the new window on the back of the RV – another thing off my list of things to do on the RV.

Cheryl worked on a little bit of laundry.

Cheryl took Amanda to church group.

I worked on several of our computer to bring them up on changes. I finally got Eric’s computer running on BOINC. I am converting another old computer to run Linux – this will be my second computer on Linux.

2007/06/02 – Saturday – Work & Play

Cheryl and Amanda went and got their hair done.

I worked on the computer a little.

I then talked with two different neighbors. When Cheryl finally came home (with lunch) I finally came home and at lunch.

I worked on the wood – cut it up into the appropriate size. I had to stop so I could get ready for your evening out.

We went to a dinner theater and watched Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat, our family, mom Delp and boy friend, Mom Delp sister. We all had a good time.

I then worked on all the computers to remove a BOINC project that was causing problems on all the machines.

Friday – Normal?

Lunch at an oriental buffet.

Worked on the Linux machine again most of the night. I did get the printer driver stuff to finally be installed with the help from Cheryl and her limited knowledge of Linux (her words). The command that I had to use to get the printer driver installed was “sudo su –“ and that gave me super user.

I searched most of the evening/night on why BOINC will not talk from my XP machine to the Linux machine and how to fix it.

Working On Computers

Ok, I will stop talking about going to work. I will just comment about not going to work if I am sick (which I did not do anytime last year).

Lunch was off to crazy chicken…

After work, I almost forgot about getting Amanda to the Orthodontist. I got the usual reminder from my PDA and so off we go to get to her appointment.

I installed another train game onto Eric machine.

Tonight was able to get mom’s old machine running Ubuntu (linux). I did the first set of updates and played with it. I finally found how to run the Boinc program. But I have not found an easy way to get my main computer to read (get information) from the linux machine yet. Now I have it updating to the next version - so that will take awhile.
