The one with cockeater prime...

Cockeater ' or Cockeater Prime, or CP as tony likes, because he thinks "cockeater prime" is too long, is getting ready to be working! It's name is cockeater' because the original cockeater was a failure, although it's not his fault. A little fill in at this point: the original cockeater was a project to create a wireless router off the pitt network, because as we all know, it sucks and doesn't let us do that normally. So, being that it was a failure, i've purchased a computer just to turn into a wireless router of sorts using a linux operating system, so i can "go wireless" - plus, i'm a dork, and it's fun to do crap like this.

Last night I had an incredible breakthrough with the completed installation of xsupplicant, the mother of all pains in my ass over the past few weeks. Props to eric for handing me the RH9 cd's, so installing it was virtually impossible to ignore. looks like i needed that new kernel (thanks blondie) so installing rh9 worked.

Anyway, so the point is, i'm freaking excited that this thing might be working - i've been working on it for a while, and it's been really friggin disspointing up till this point. I know paul and dave are excited about cockeater', and tony is loving this whole linux thing, so hey - anyway.

Given short post restraints i'll stop, but i've got some other crap to talk about, so i'll talk about that tomorrow - remind me. or something....
