Soo.. i r writing this on the train going home with my lady… sitting next to me resting her head up against the window making sure i don’t look at her.. i am wondering if she is reading what i am typing.. as i think about her, and how much she means me to be… how that when i wake up in the morning i remember her cuddling me, how i get up and remember her kisses and her  beauftiful smile :). as i get ready to go to work and jump on the train, i fool around on the comp for a bit.. i have finally got vmware ESX Server running with my gear… little bit interesting bu hey it works….

Jumping on the train…. i can’t wait for the day that i will be waking up next to her and going to sleep next to her… when we can cook food for each other and together… and how i will meet her later that night as i read and reply to a few bits and peices… as i go through work that day aka today… even though it sucks balls and it is really shitty at times… stupid phone calls from clients.. i remember how she smiles.. how her face lights up the darkest sky… how her soft lips kiss mine in a loving embrace… and how her arms wrap around me and how i wrap mine around her… i make it throgh the day.. knowing that soon i will see her… soon i will see the lady i love so much.. be able to wrap my arms around her and kiss her all night long… and go to sleep thinking of her wishing she was by my side… forever

So;

Today is Tuesday… and i just realised i updated my blog yesterday… wierd :/ feels like a while ago…. sitting here doing a job for work. onsite tech suff.. same old usual. anywho.. so last night i was mucking around with gentoo trying to fix things and having a little bit of fun… Wiating for a Laptop Charger to come through the mail to fix upmy lappy, i noticed last night.. how much my lady meant to me… i tell you what.. it freaks me out in a way because of the dangers.. but at the same time… to be honest its all surreall.. but i know itis completly and fully real.. yea i know she reads the blog and so forth but its the hoenst truth… she means my world.

On another topic i foudn a new webhost last night, they host virtual servers so u have root access to the box and everything they allow a varity of os’s gentoo and debian being one of them.. so im thinking of running my scalix mailserver again heh… problem is they require 3 months down payment upfront of 20us a month.. so mhmm. when i have moies i will for now dreamhost will suffice.. then when i get the box i will truely be delvinginto the webhosting/linux server admin’ng again..

Between power outages from clients and random work i am staring at computers alll two often and using them way to often.. though my lady helps exceptionally well she made me lunch this morning and a peice of fruit , and she is planning holidays and stuff in advance so that we have somewere to go when they come giving us both a break from work and life stress’s and worries.. heh anyways

Im sitting on the train going to work. crammed in the carriages on a seat..

So Saturday.. was fun ;D we went out to the city wandered around there fora the day.. caught the ferry down the River and went the IMAX and saw Africa 3D.. which i really don’t mind seeing docu’s these days they give you awesome knowlege…. food n stuff was good i thank her for that .

So this morning/last night i was working on my gentoo box… both my server an desktop fixing things up here and there.. updating my desktop mainly… i finally got dri working wiht my ati card.. i spent around 3 hous redoing my Xorg config file from scratch .. the one i used from my serv had nvidia config’s in it and it was annoying me… :/ so.. i am loving E17, it is absolutly screaming now i just need to get wine working right and things will be great…  Check out the Photo Gallery for photo’s from the weekened.

It is late friday night.. things are looking slightly up, i made a decision to take the job, spoke to the boss things are sorted i will lose my home adsl between the 20-30th of june which is kewl by me.. going to hook something up with tpg :D, my 3G account internet wise is maxed lol phone bill is going to be dear but ya know wtf can u do.. im planning on selling my sub/amps to pay off some debt and close an account. Laptop though is starting to piss off with its charging/not charging times and just draninig the crap out of the battery.. might be up for a new laptop/vaio.. kinda sucks but good i suppose…

Debian is still going hard

Well; i write this half-way through the day as i am battling with backup exec and a DAT72 auto-load.. trying to make it work and failing nicely so i upgrade the 3 server’s backup exec.. well currently halfway thought it.. I also have the problem of escaping my current work situation.. i have a few opportunities i have been offered and have so far knocked them back much to the the disappointment of a few close friends but it seems like i have no choice as i am beginning to realise i no longer can work in this environment that i currently am in.. It is to “closed” circle and bypassing. It is a wierd enviroment and it worries me alot because of what goes on and where i want to go.. I havet he support of my folks and my GF, whom i love dearly on what i do they will.. My folks i know are agaisnt the decision to walk away but they will support me which is cool..so yea.. the whole leaving the current employment is a scare.. so for now i am keeping to myself and keeping the pain inside which isn’t helping to well probably helping my headaches i am now starting to get..

On a IT note; debian lenny looks nice and stable; i am surprised at how functionally viable it is as a desktop of course it isn’t the easiest system to install and configure but it works well with an encrypted lvm. Ubuntu 8.04 is also another good system, runs beautifully though i notice it does struggle on slow/old systems such as a p3 with low resources.. E17, a great desktop environment i have been playing around with on some systems, which is now completely broken and borked on my laptop which i am currently do not know how to fix it so i have it back.. the only thing i think it is lacking is the system tray though there are many other trays out there it would be nice to see it included sometime… but still for now my main desktop is gnome.. it is light yet fucntional…
