Hopefully this works! I'm trying to figure out how to embed YouTube videos in WordPress. Apparently, according a development blog post, it has to be put in your posts with a special command, since they don't "allow you to paste in arbitrary code" for security reasons. Not sure I agree with that, but, oh well.
Anyway, here is the Sony E3 Conference summed up in about 60 seconds!
Oh, I forgot to tell you that there was an earwig in the shower lastnight.
An earwig... in the shower.
I mean, really, of all the nerve...
I just completely reworked my home network... again:
Oneill is now retired as a system on the network. A sub-300mhz Celeron with 112MB RAM just wasn't going to make the cut in power for what I'm wanting to experiment with. I'd built a new server (named Sigthermia, credit to Edrick (so he doesn't get mad at me)) for hosting a project of mine (of the same name, credit to Edrick (so he doesn't get mad at me)). It's 1.8ghz of Pentium 4 goodness with 512MB RAM. Now that's a server worth running. Sigthermia is now the acting router, personal webserver, file-sharing master, and soon-to-be caching DNS server. (If TW ever gets around to telling me how!)
I don't have a wireless access point, yet, which is why it's dimmed, but the IP address is reserved, so that's why it's on there. I upgraded to a 16-port switch a while ago, too, so that's been REALLY nice. No chance of running out of room for at least a little bit... maybe a month? 
I had a pretty time getting Sigthermia up on it's self-sustaining feet. I installed Apache, Samba, PHP, MySQL, DHCPd, BIND, DHClient, ncurses, and all their dependencies manually, and compiled from source. That was quite an experience, since nothing was set up automatically. Like... configuration files weren't created, and there was no auto-start script. I had to make all those myself. Once again, the opensource community shines forth with absolutely NO useful official documentation. I had to search for hours to get information on where Samba puts it's configuration file, because the main help files assumed you already knew where it went, and/or that it was made automatically. Well, guess what? IT WASN'T!
But now... everything's up and running properly, smoothly, and very swift. It run very quickly, too... and did I mention it's fast? It's very fast! Oneill took at least 2 minutes to boot up, which was becoming unacceptable. When Windows boots faster than Linux, there's a problem. Sigthermia starts in about 30 seconds to a minute. Well enough time to recover and start first in the case of a power failure. (With Oneill, the client computers would start first, and then the router/domain controller would come online LAST and screw everything up.)
Speaking of O'neill, I got my first shipment of Stargates today! SG-1 seasons 2, 3 and 5, and Atlantis Season 1, and MacGyver Season 5. I've just cleared 35 gigabytes off my harddrive... I'm very pleased! (Enough room to defragment now!)
