Futon!
The futon was delivered last night. It’s a little bigger than I expected, but I think it’ll fit in just fine. I got most of it assembled last night, just need to move the piece that holds the mattress onto the rest of the frame. Dave said he’d come over tonight to help me with that. Once that’s done, I’ll have a nice new futon to sit and watch TV on. That’ll be nice, since at the moment the only vaguely comfortable thing in my apartment is my computer chair, and it’s not that great for doing things other than using the computer.
So, once the futon is complete, I’ll be taking some pictures of the apartment and getting them posted, probably tomorrow, since I have a bit of trash to take out, and I’d like to have a clean apartment to take pictures of.
In semi-apartment related news, I got the I-Opener hacked. This means that’s it’s now got the older BIOS revision on it, so it will boot from something other than the onboard flash, and it will load an OS other than QNX. I tried getting NetBSD to boot on it, but it hangs after loading the kernel. I’m going to try Slackware Linux next, and see how that goes.
Huzah! Futon! You know, I never really realized how much fun that word is… FUTON, FUTON, FUTON. It’s like a crazy french cruton. Wheeee.
cough
But, yah, futons are good… and what’s wrong with QNX? I’ve never used it but I’ve seen plenty of interface ports (litestep, hoverdesk, etc). It looks mildly interesting.
Riddle me this… How come I can post comments to Matt’s journal from work, but when I try from home I get a message saying I am not allowed to post?
Matt: QNX is fine, and it’s Photon interface is pretty slick, but that’s not what’s on the I-Opener. QNX is primarily an embedded OS, and in this case, it was embedded with only the I-Opener’s UI, which is basically useless.
Dad: No idea, maybe he has you banned?
Banned!!! arrrrrghhhhhhh
Banned? I don’t think I banned you. I know I banned 3 IPs that were spamming my comments but that was a while ago. Lemme check though.
There. I cleaned out my banned IP list. Try and see if it works now. If it doesn’t then I’m not sure what the problem is. If it does than I must have copied the wrong IP into the list. I usually save the emails I get from the comments that contain the IPs, maybe I wasn’t looking and opened the wrong email.
