Found it! WTF, Twitter? And the new RTL8187B driver

8:16 pm — Code, Geek, Linux, laptop, twitter, usmc

Okay, I finally found a decent picture of me in that parade. Yay.

(That’s me in the back.)

Twitter’s fucking down again, which is too bad, because I just wrote a mail handler to tell me who’s following me. Woot, looks like it just came back up.

And, finally, I need reports on the new version of the RTL8187B driver that Mister Adams sent me, please. Does it compile? Does it work? Does it turn your computer into Oprah?




RTL8187B update; Miscellany

I’ve put up the contributed version of the RTL8187B driver I received from a Mister Adams that supposedly works with the 2.6.24 kernel. Note I haven’t tried it yet (I’m not in a hurry to upgrade from 2.6.22, even with that local exploit going around), and the only other person I sent it to reported a kernel panic. Use at your own risk.

Also, I was lucky enough to get called up to be in the Holiday Bowl Parade in San Diego in 2007. This was pretty much the only picture I could find (that’s me in the back):

If anyone else happened to be there and snap a couple, think you could send ‘em my way?

More lag

7:28 pm — usmc

So, I’m in cammies for a few days.

I spent the day sacrificing my lower back for my country. The next few days are likely to be the same.

Why can’t the Corps ever make anything LIGHTWEIGHT? Why does everything have to weigh four hundred freaking pounds?

Anyway, I’m taking Monday off, and then I’m going to start getting the site back on track. Hopefully.
