In truth I am having a lot of fun compiling all the stuff I wanted

I didn't even end up using one rpm. Everything was configure, make, make install. It seriously took all night but worked without a hitch. MYSQL 4.1, PHP 5.0.3 , ming, Pspell, GD, Soap, XML, XMLRPC, IMA.

I finally broke down and got a Virtual Private Server account that lets me configure and install whatever software I want. The problem is that I have to configure and install all the software I want. He is aspell compiling. Thankfully, (e:ajay) taught me about this last month. Soon the site will be all in my control.

After several vet visits and a near death scare - a bout with blindness, he woke up today, opened his eyes and started eating! I think he is gonna make it afterall.

[inlink]scud,82[/inlink] (e:scud) re you sure that the problem is between adelphia and the modem or do you have a router in between. If so, it could be that the ocmputer is losing connection iwth the router instead of the modem losing connection with adelphia. In that case it would all check out find on their end but your computer would be online.

I hate dealing with them, although I do have this one really funny story. I called in the middle of our first big party on elmwood at the lafayette house. The network was down , or so I thought, and I was so angry that people couldn't post to the site from the party. Turned out that someone had accidentally kicked the ethernet cable out of the router. When the operator asked me to test and see if the computer was connected to the cable modem I realized that the router wasn't and felt like such an idiot that instead of just telling her I went through the entire 20 minute diagnostic phone call with the shut it down, wait a minutes, turn it back on , restart the ocmputer crap. I just pretended to do all that because I couldn't tell her how dumb I was that I hadn't checked the cable.

Are school shootings becoming normal in America? Someone should have dealt with this kid before it got to such a dangerous point. These are some quotes from a cbc article

"He looked like a cool guy, and then I talked to him a few times," Thunder said. "He talked about guns and shooting people." . . . Weise cultivated a dangerous appearance, including sculpting his hair to look as if he had devil horns. "It looked like he was trying to be evil," . . . dressed in black and wrote stories about zombies, may have posted messages on a neo-Nazi website expressing admiration for Adolf Hitler and using the handle "Todesengel" - German for "Angel of Death."

Is that not a little weird to be a native american neo-nazi? Why did no one stop him at that point. Where were the teachers and the school guidance councilors. He also supposedly posted this animation and some others. See the story below. Warning, it is graphically violent cartoon.

On Wednesday, TheSmokingGun.com reported that Weise posted a computer animation on a multimedia website in October, Newgrounds.com, that showed a gunman shooting four people, blowing up a squad car and committing suicide.

The animation was accompanied by a photograph of Weise and a description of him as "nothin' but a Native American teenage-stoner-industrialist."

That happens to be the same description that he uses for himself in his livejournal. I decided to find his livejournal and got this - it only has 3 entries but it is clear that he is hurting. maybe someone should have noticed.
