Dual-Boot

I just tried again to get a dual-boot thing going on with my computer between Microsoft Windows XP, and FreeBSD Unix. Last time, I tried to get things going harmoniously with XP, and Suse Linux, RedHat Linux, and Windows 98. If any of you are thinking of trying this, screw it. Except the Win98 bit, that worked okay. But still, screw it.

Setting up your machine to boot separate operating systems is a waste of time. Get a second freakin' box. They don't naturally play nice together, and if you do get them to, there seems to be no point.

My next great plan is to get a second box, install Unix, and run a bit of a server off of it. I'm not holding my breath on this one, maybe have it out in like a year or two.

Anyway, I got all my files back up and everything, and aside from that whole mess, things are going well. Or as well as ever. Utah was good, seeing people there was good. Getting back and seeing people here was good. No complaints really. School is also going good. Finals are coming up tomorrow, a little early due to the compressed schedule, but I'm not too worried about them. I don't typically have big problems on tests, and I've got all day tomorrow to study for them. Last minute like.

I'm also thinking about changing some things around on my website. Not too sure I like where it is enough to finish things of in that direction. But I don't hate it enough to remove it. Maybe just add some interesting crap somewhere. I could throw up some of my photoshoped pictures. If I do, they will be on venenum. I don't keep that kind of stuff on vociferor.

That's about it for now, just remember, Dual-Boot sucks.
