  • Geeking Out at Home

    Diann and I spent last night doing something we didn’t think we’d be doing yet: looking at houses online. To this date, I’ve avoided the insane Seattle real-estate market, but we figure it’s time to bite the bullet and jump in.  It just doesn’t show any indication of slowing down in the next 3 years…

  • Oil Changes and Wireless, redux

    So, much like [last time](http://www.marius.org/2007/05/02/oil_changes_and_wireless.php), I’m getting the oil changed (this time at [Michael’s Toyota](http://www.michaelstoyota.com/) for the Prius), and they’ve got wireless, which lets me get some work and web-browsing done. (This is probably the 6th time this week I’ve reached the [end of the internet](http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm)) Great that they have wireless, it’s open (no WEP),…

  • Oil Changes and Wireless

And, as bonus points, they at least used WEP encryption. (Yes, I know WEP isn’t perfect, but it’s better than the Nissan dealership I used to go in Texas…

  • another week

    Well, another week almost gone by… And another round of tests gone by too. I hate essay questions, and quasi-ambiguous multiple choice questions. In other exciting news, I've got my wireless pages up in MT. Hooray for yet another short blog entry. 🙂

  • it’s good to be the king (err, nerd)

    Well, tonight's weather was unseasonably cool and not humid. Couple that with a new antenna for my wireless access point and my new hammock (did I mention I bought a hammock?) and I've been in my backyard on the computer for the last two hours. Enjoying the moonrise, relaxing with the dogs, and unfortunately reading…

  • FreeBSD 4.x on a Satellite 3005-S304

    This page describes my experiences installing FreeBSD on a Toshiba Satellite S3005-S304 series laptop. This should be the exact same procedure as the Satellite S3000-S304 series laptop. Page layout and things are heavily borrowed from Dan Pelleg's FreeBSD on a Thinkpad X23 page. This page assumes you know how to install ports, compile kernels, and…
