I had my one week followup with the surgeon today and everything’s looking good. I’m working from home for the rest of the week and won’t be able to get back to the gym or ride the motorcycle until August, but that’s minor compared to being healthy again.

Rebuilding The Server
I’ve called it quits for the day, I can’t get Fedora to install. It keeps locking up or oopsing all over the place. Based on how many other people have gotten this to work I’m betting it’s bad hardware but I’m so frustrated right now that I just don’t want to deal with it.
Maybe tomorrow I’ll run Memtest86 on it to see if it’s bad RAM.
Independence Day
Happy Independence Day everyone!
Missed Reese’s Birthday
Due to this appendectomy I couldn’t travel and so I missed Reese’s third birthday. I don’t care about the rest of the stuff, but missing his birthday really tears me up. He got his first bicycle today and a few other things. Joi videotaped it so at least I’ll be able to watch the tape when I get back up there.
Server Broken Again
It’s still dying. I’m running on half the RAM, which has improved stability a little. So today I headed out to Fry’s and picked up a Gigabyte GA-K8NSC-939, 1G RAM, an AMD Athlon 64 processor, and 2 120G SATA drives. It’s going to be one heck of a nice Linux box when it’s built. That’s Monday’s plan.
And it was really nice to get out of the house for a little while. Being cooped up in the house for this past week has given me a real case of cabin fever.
Cycle Connections Article
Cycle Connections was out at the XL List KC Rally and they’ve put the article, with some pictures, up on their site. Check it out!
