Quiet Busy

Haven’t blogged much (or trained much) this week… I’ve been focusing heavily on rebuilding my Gentoo (a Linux distro) Mythtv box (a home brew PVR), rebuilding and streamlining Gentoo for my Transmeta chipped ultra portable (sweet but weak), and setting up Drupal 5.2 (and a series of modules) to be the backbone of my Mile-End portal.

I’ve been overdue for a serious geek out session. Once I get focused on something 4 or 5 hours can pass in the blink of an eye. I’ve actually forgotten to eat once this week, and I haven’t done that in a while… it’s hard to forget to eat when you’re always hungry from pushing your physical limits.

And BTW the new Gentoo graphical installer is crap, or at least it’s currently in the state of being so buggy that it’s crap. The old school Gentoo install method is almost preferable at this point… I love Gentoo once I have it up and running, but the process of getting it there is somewhat time consuming… I’m just a little disappointed because I thought the new installer would save some hastle.
