Xorg’s hotplugging is pretty cool. I installed it both on my desktop and laptop. I can unplug my mouse from my desktop and plug it into the laptop. Within a second or two it detects the mouse, and it supports all the fancy buttons (middle click, back/foward buttons).

Just simply amazing!!! Now I just can’t wait until the open ati driver becomes stable!

I decided to get rid of my panel and use the middle click window listing that conky uses, simply amazing!

BlueEagle is a server I have created at my high school. I have created this server to allow students in the Advance Web Page Design class to upload the web pages they are working to a web server, BlueEagle.

Yesterday was the day I gave instructions to my classmates telling them how to upload there web pages. There were only minor problems that I was able to fix on a per user basis. I was surprised at how smoothly everything went. All the user accounts worked, and changing the password worked using the web script I wrote.

Many people were fascinated that they were able to access their website from a server within the school. Many did not like the fact the teacher said she would publish them on the schools website once we got done!

Overall I am surpised at the results of my work. I am continuing my work, by making a dyanmic homepage and then writing up a book on how to operate the server. The book will be hard, because the faculty has never used linux before, so I must write the book from a window user prespective.

Well I upgraded my laptop to kernel 2.6.26 and when I rebooted I got some errors about memory not being able to be allocated. So I decided to trouble shoot and see if I had bad ram. After I got done I went to put both sticks of ram back in and the laptop wouldn’t boot. After some investigation I found out whenever I had ram in the second dimm the laptop’s caps lock key would blink and I would get no display.

I contacted Dell via the chat interface and they told me they’d send me a shipping box. Well I got the box yesterday and shipped the laptop yesterday.

Dell claims that it is a faulty motherboard which sounds right. The rep I spoke to said I should have it back before August 20th! This means that I should have it back before school starts. I am curious to see if they spend the time to replace the motherboard or if they send me a brand new unit.
