Wheee!!!

Well, I finally did it. I updated OliverWEB, including a new layout! (as you can probably tell =).

w00t!

K, well, hopefully I’ll update more from now on too… LAN party at Nathan’s NYE/NY, don’t forget!

Late Night Googling

Not sure if this was me, but that’s kinda wierd. I don’t remember that.

Mark lives in Illinois.

Dunno what this means, but they want to know where Chad is.

There are way too many Van Nguyens, and Nancy has a Candy Candy website.

Nathan has an INSANE amount of stuff on GameFaqs… what a nerd. haha ;) (hey, this one’s real too)

… oooohhh… I found something interesting…

“I’m Segaholic2, known as Nathan Tsui in the real world. I’m 18, a resident of Texas (which is the greatest state ever), and hoping to get into college this fall. I love Sega (obviously), and Sonic Team especially, if that’s not a crime by now. I’m also very Asian, which makes me irresistible to teh ladies… Okay, just one. Yuss, I am the luckiest guy on the planet because the coolest girl in the universe likes me. Uhh… Enough gloating.” (- from here)

… searching for “Sam Ni” results in Google wanting me to search for “samuni”

Another Server Move

Well, I moved it again. The only things that I lost were some comments about JW152.com and Harisu or something like that. No biggie. =)

K… now… on to Liquid-ACC.com, then I might start OWeb redesign. sigh Too much stuff!

Class and Stuff

Well, I’ve got a decent amount of web-stuff to do… which is taking a decent amount of my time, but oh well. =)

My classes seem pretty cool… Computer Networks - we’re doing some neat stuff with actual real examples (ie. something called the Internet). Computer Graphics - OpenGL time! Computer Architecture - the prof. worked at IBM and now at Intel… he helped with the G5 core and the maybe-soon-to-be Pentium 5. Pretty neat. Comp Arch looks like it’ll be pretty fun too, it’s the class I’m looking forward to the most.

Gentooops

uhhh… so I was compiling KDE and OpenOffice.org-Ximian at the same time and I managed to use over 2GB up in the compilation of the two of those, which resulted in me using up 100% of that partition. Oops. Time for # parted /dev/hda.

In contrast, my 7GB partition for /home is using less than 4% of that allocated space. I think I know where to put some of that extra space….

Gentoo!

Gentoo is up and running! I’ve got a lot to configure though, like various power saving stuff, suspend, etc. etc. I think I just got my audio working and started compiling stuff… at the moment, apache, php, samba, and grip are compiling, so I decided I should probably let those finish before I compile anymore. =)

Ooohh! Samba finished! bbl

GIMP

After a long while of abstaining from using GIMP because of it’s horrible (well, IMHO) UI compared to Photoshop (okay, maybe that’s just because I’m used to PS now)… I took a stab at 1.3.17 (the latest devel version), and I must say, I am VERY VERY impressed by how much they’ve improved it.

Now, they have a menu bar above the image, as well as the crazy right click menu, which is very helpful because I hated that right click thing (again, probably just used to Photoshop). It didn’t import my PSD’s very nicely, but that’s alright, just would have been a nice perk. There are a few nice things missing (ie. preview on a lot of the filters/script-fu’s) but it definately is getting there.

I’d say give it another few months and I may begin trying to use it instead of Photoshop for my designs. GOOOOO (legally =) FREE SOFTWARE!
