I moved recently, new place is a house; no real room to run cables all over, has wireless intarwebs. I bought a usb wireless adapter thingiemabob for my desktop because it needed internet access (for the past few weeks i have been relying on my work laptop, which is not ideal). It took me forever to figure out that my wireless USB adapter is supported by the zd1211rw driver. After finally locating the serial number and a bit of googling I located the dirver and firmware I needed and got it working. Horray!

The tree is too big (said while watching emerge –sync run). Copying all this data down over wireless sucks and perhaps I will devote a tiny slice of time to making a subtree (of packages I actually need) and not sync the other 12000 packages….

Pkgcore-0.4.7 is in gentoo-x86, put there by me because ferringb’s normal commit monkies were not available and lo’ I still have gentoo-x86 access!

I switched from fluxbox to ratpoison. I barely use a mouse now! (ok probably a lie, I am using one right now). However I think it is a plus overall; Yet Another Set of Keybindings is annoying though ;)
