Gah! My back is hurting…..And I do believe my chair is to blame. Thing is, the floor here is so slanted, that my back subconsciously is working constantly to keep the chair from rolling, and so it hurts after sitting here for several hours straight. Either i have to rearrange my room somehow, or I need to sit less in front of the computer…. I wonder which it will be :p

Anyway, new post, need something to write about. As you might have noticed I’ve been playing around with my webcam allot, but I’ve also done some cool stuff with my GNU/Linux setup. I’ve enabled something called kexec in the kernel. What it does is that it makes rebooting 10 times faster, by simply booting the kernel over again, instead of the entire computer. So you don’t have to go trough the bios bootup, or the grub menu (if you use one like I do, I have several kernels), so by cutting away all that dead time, a reboot takes less time. Now all I need to do is figure out why my display crashes when i run in framebuffer mode in console and reboot with kexec….I’m guessing it has something to do with the fact that the kexec code in the kernel is marked EXPERIMENTAL :]

I’ve also tried lately to fix up my system a bit, clean out old files and such, but It’s not easy seeing as I have allot of application I just install to test, then forget to uninstall them, which leaves tons of crap files lying around. And the fact that when I first set up this system, and only gave the / mount 6.5gb of space doesn’t help…
If anyone have any good hints or tips to cleaning up a Gentoo system, let me know. I’ve so far done revdep-rebuild, cleaned up several temp files and deleted allot of unnecessary doc files.

So, plans for the day…..meh, I’m not sure to be honest. I talked with Silje yesterday about meeting up at a café later on today, but when I was heading to bed last night (around 4 am..) she was up because she couldn’t sleep. She was going to send me a text though, to let me know if she was up for it, so we’ll see :)
I also had a message from Inger-Lise this morning asking if I had any plans, but she was offline when i tried to talk to her so I’m not sure what it was about.
Hopefully I’ll find something to do tonight, sitting alone at home again is kind of a drag. Yesterday was ok, even though I kind of said I would go to Mikroen, I decided I much rather wanted to stay home and play around with my webcam. Today though, I’m not that keen on staying at home doing squat.

Oh, and I watched Fantastic 4: Rise of the silver surfer last night, man that’s a crap cheesy horrible flick….I do NOT recommend it. Only fun moments in it was 1: When Stan Lee (creator of Spiderman, Fantastic 4 etc.) wasn’t allowed into Storm and Mr.Fantastics wedding. I was amused by that :p and 2: When the silver surfer confessed his true reason for being there.
