Seriously, this is a note to self…I am actually going to blog this stuff. Hopefully over the course of 100 days! We’ll see what happens. I have a couple other things to whine about too though.

Nice Howto for Fedora 7 with Xen. Not exactly hard, but still useful. I want to get my laptop running it with wireless working. Soon my pretty…soon…

Ack! I need to read! I need to accomplish things!
I’m getting around to it. I meant to read about 14 chapters between 5 books on the weekend. I did one. I need to get on that.
I got some other things accomplished though. I spent a bunch of money at PJ’s and got all the stuff I need for my new additions to the family at the end of the month. My sister is coming to visit and we are going to the reptile show at the end of the month. I am shopping for a bearded dragon and a boa constrictor to add to the corn and ball python. Apparently these beardies eat around 20-60 crickets a day plus veggies when they are young. I’m going have more feeder animals in my house than pets. Super!
Also, the roommate and I went shopping and bought a deep freeze. It’s handy thus far.
The point of all this is that I’ve done virtually nothing relating to school yet. I did do my CMPUT 301 assignment 1 which is due…about 3 minutes ago…so that’s good. I need to get on the ball and read though. My TODO list in tracks is pretty epic.
Hopefully this week I’ll get some things done, as my weekend is pretty jam packed.
I could go further but nobody likes reading ‘dear diary’ entries on blogs, so I’ll stop. More whining later. Possibly useful information.

Holy man! I just spent most of the day screwing around with Redmine, and couldn’t get it to work properly. Long story short, the routes weren’t working properly. Found this solution from talideon.com
Thank you so much!!!
In short, go into config/boot.rb and change this:
root_path = Pathname.new(root_path).cleanpath(true).to_s
to this:
root_path = Pathname.new(root_path).cleanpath(true).realpath().to_s

Sometimes, things still go wrong. Sometimes, CTRL + ALT + Backspace still doesn’t fix X and ALT + F keys don’t switch to the terminal. Sometimes, you just have to hit the reset button.
Next time your Linux system locks up because you did something silly try this method from FOSSwire instead. If it works (haven’t tried it yet) it’s a much nicer way to reboot your stuck system.
