Tasty food and a serial card

Life’s been fairly quiet since I got back from my trip. Mostly just plodding along on streaming audio stuff for NetBSD. It’s acting a bit weird at the moment with horrible audio quality. Not sure if the microphone and sound chip just suck, or if I’m doing something wrong.
Last Friday Andrea’s parents, Andrea, and I went to the Shogun Japanese Steak House in Manchester. Very tasty, and it’s pretty cool seeing them cook your food right there. Definitely a place to go back to. Saturday we didn’t do much of anything, mostly just hung around the house watching movies. Sunday we did some grocery shopping, and I tried playing with Gnome2 on my home computer.
Unfortunately, Gnome2 really isn’t all that great in my opinion, and I decided to reinstall FreeBSD to get rid of it (and my ports collection was pretty messed up at that point anyway.) At some point I must have chosen the wrong option, because I accidentally set the active partition to the FreeBSD partition, instead of the Windows one (which has a boot selector) so that kindof messed up my PC for a bit. Ended up fixing it on Monday night with the FreeBSD install CD.
Tonight I’m going to be helping Mike and Jason move the OshaSafetyWear server from JLC to MV in Manchester. Should be interesting, and a good practice run for when we move Hindenburg later on. We still haven’t seen money from a lot of the people being hosted, so the move could be fairly expensive.
Oh, and I got a PCMCIA serial card off of eBay. I had some troubles getting it working together with my wireless card, but it seems to be happy now. I plan to use it with my GPS when I go wardriving, so I don’t have to lug around the docking station for my laptop.
