I got 2 boxes the other day and was very excited to have my new gear. I open the small one first and it's my Compaq mouseman exactly as described (new in a bag) and it's wonderful. I believe it's a newer model than my white one as the connector and model number is different but I'm not sure. Anyway I open the other box which is surprisingly light for having 3 drives in it and lo and behold only one drive is in the box! I sensed no foul play on the box so the seller must have only shipped me 1 drive! How insane, I messaged the person and received a reply saying there should have been 3 drives. I think the person just forgot to put them in somehow and are covering themself.
Later I received another package which contained the O2 motherboard I had ordered, I take it out and hear something rattling around inside. Uh oh, turns out one of the heatsinks had come undone on a chip! I stuck some foam in-between the heatsink and the cpu retainer thing directly overtop of it and it sits there firmly now :P Seems to work fine. I placed the one new drive I received into the O2 to install Irix but the O2 does not seem to want to work with the drive! It works fine in my Octane2 but not the O2...I have no idea why it doesn't work.
As a fun thing I got X working on my Itanic, all I did was take out the FireGL, plug the management board into the motherboard and turned it on. I also set up the system so linux displays system/boot messages through the vga console and serial port 1 while having a login on serial port 0. You wouldn't believe how annoying it is having system messages randomly pop up in your console is...especially a serial console.
As far as a not so fun thing, I'm sick today :( Sore throat it seems, bleh. I had to cancel some plans I had with someone to go to lunch :/ oh well...bleh
