The class I'm in now is about cisco routers and stuff, pretty nice to learn about how to use them. The configuration files are pretty easy and make setting up a bunch of routers a breeze.
Anyway I've spent entirely way too much money recently. An SGI Indy as well as Indigo2 are now mine...as well as 3 external scsi hard drives, a scsi SGI cd-rom and sony firewire cd burner. Not only that, but 17 hard drives are coming my way and a quadro 2 for my Itanic. Oh yeah! I bought the agp board for the Itanic, $60 oh yes...anyway should be cool once I can use that as my main. Ahh but not least I got 2 36GB 15k drives for the Itanic. It is truly going to be awesome once I get it up and running. If the OS on vis and jane weren't extremely customized I would move those drives into it lol. Anyway seems the drives are going to be about $80 and it was about $130 for the other crap then $60 for the board like I said and ~$22 for the quadro2. yeah...too much lol. Oh, I forgot I got an extreme networks Summit1, forgot how much that was...not much I don't think (under 40). Anyway nice to have a fibre switch, just got to get some gigabit cards and some cables. (SC-SC)
sigh..haha, I need help please!!! lol
On a fun note I tried using my monochrome Miracle 9" monitor with my C1 and it was great, after I tooled around with my xorg.conf for a while I got 800x600 running and had the webcam going too, was quite fun.

First class back...
So today was the first class back from break and...the cpu fan on my laptop goes on the fritz! It started making all these crazy noises; it scared the crap out of me and so I turned it off right then. Anyway, I haven't ordered a replacement yet, they want $70!! insane!! augh...what a wonderful thing to happen.
