You still sporting the TNT card?

For that machine it's a Radeon HD 7870.

Trying to find AMD cards that have 2 HDMI out but it's proving hard. AMD has better Linux support so I want to try to stick to that.

Looks like it's the adapters themselves that don't work worth shit. Tested both of them on the windows machine too and nothing. Even existing ones I had on hand that only support HD, what's weird is the HD ones work with the work PC but they don't work with any of my PCs. Guess these things are garbage and only work when they want. Might have to give in and just order 25 footer DP cables and go that route. I was hoping to stick to HDMI since I already ran all the cables.

I'm spending so much money on this stupid project. I'm really starting to regret it. It always ends up like this, run into problem after problem and end up having to order more stuff to make it work.

I guess my company decided to let managers work from home too now.

That means I get the whole office to myself!

I got my oil changed last December and the Wyatt Earp movie was playing. Today I’m getting my oil changed and the same movie is playing. It has all the writing skill and production value of the average soap opera.

I was running a chainsaw in the basement, and now the cats are hiding. I guess they're under the sofa, but I don't feel like bending down to look.

There must be some way the chainsaw could be used to avoid having to bend down.

I was getting my oil changed when Obama was sworn into office and Bush got on a helicopter to go home. Have to say that was quite a memorable oil change. I'm probably due for another one.

Fairly deep for a cat site.

Ask versus Guess, two types of culture.

Manually patched my mail server because I just realized it had a 2020 bug. All emails with date in 2020 were being given points for "date grossly in the future". I kinda noticed an influx in false positives and decided to investigate more and realized that.

I really should update that server. OS install date is 2008 and I've just been lazy. It's the mail server and mail is a pita to setup. I have a couple custom things setup so it's not exactly a standard setup, and right now it uses Unix accounts per mailbox which is really dirty but my custom code does not work if I go with virtual mailboxes, so I have to code my own mail transport program and then the project kinda stalled lol. But yeah I need to get on that.

I eventually want to write a program that presents a front end for configuring all the standard Linux server stuff like mail, users, virtual hosts, etc... so I keep telling myself I'll just wait till I code that, and yeah that's been on the backburner for a bit. I started to play around with how to create my own custom Debian install disc though, as once I have that basic process down path, it's just the thing of adding my custom software and I have a really quick installer for bringing up a new server. Then upgrades would just involve remastering it with a newer version of the OS and my software would just pickup the old config files and regen the Linux config for the new distro.

Nice. East Texas is beautiful. You should post some pics.

This was my cabin rental. $63 a night. Sweet. Owner was an Air Force vet. 1972-1994 flew C130. Later became a 747 pilot until he retired. He's been developing this land next to his ranch. He was going to let me shoot on his personal range on Thursday morning, but I got impatient and hit the road. Went to four more county seats. Four more courthouses. Up to 207 Texas counties now.

Upshur County Courthouse in Gilmer

Morris County Courthouse in Daingerfield

Morris Theater in Daingerfield

Camp County Courthouse in Pittsburgh

Camp County Courthouse in Pittsburgh

First United Methodist Church in Quitman

Abernathy House in Quitman

Wood County Courthouse in Quitman

Wow that looks like a nice spot actually. I've been dreaming for a while to buy land so I can build a cabin.

Mmmm I'm feeling like poutine today. Kinda a tradition at this point when I'm working a 12h weekend shift lol.

 

[bigboxes]

I ate big. I ate sweets. I drank alcohol. I lost weight. Now at 147.5 pounds.

 

[Red Squirrel]

You're going to catch up with me I'm at 145 last I checked. That poutine probably didn't help. It was a large too lol. Thing is when I eat something terrible for me like that it usually last's me the day. Next meal will be lunch tomorrow.

I just relabeled all the buttons on my phone, since they were all a mix and match of different colour paper, some were cursive, some were hand written, some were printed. Now they're all nice and cleanly printed and with same font.

I spent more time than I'd like to admit doing that, but it looks great now! I can say I accomplished something at work today.
