Routed and pleased
May. 16th, 2003 02:54 amI ran a bunch of errands Thursday, including getting a haircut and purchasing a router. So far, I'm pleased as punch! Then again, is punch ever really happy, being red and kinda sloshed... yeah, I guess it is...
Now that my computers are behind a router, my Linux boxes can have their own host names again. Yay! Too bad I'm running Red Hat 7.3, which not only let the cable modem hijack these names when I put the hub on but it won't tell me how to get them back. Anyone have any ideas? I hate seeing "Welcome to localhost.localdomain" when I log in at the GUI prompt on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chaggalagirl's machine. I gave these boxes some lovely names.
I'm off to bed. I've had an easy go of the first level of installation. Maggie and I also watched "Dark Roots: the Anna Nicole Story" on VoD. I should note that VoD will only work when I don't putfangirl715's TV into the cable line. Why does this apartment only have one working cable jack, and why is it in the kitchen, nowhere near the cable's entry to the apartment? I work for the cable company and I don't know why.
My cousin showed me her new laptop today. It's a Centrino. It gets ten hours on a battery charge. I showed her my PDA, which is the same brand as her color one. I blew her mind when I showed her the books I'd loaded onto mine. She's filled hers with color photos.
I think I'm rambling.
-should be asleep, Dante
