I looked into iscsi targets that don't need anything changed in the kernel before, because I wanted to try one out over the internets using my vps... Well that one didn't work on the ipod touch. iPod touch isn't an intel x86 cpu neither. Too much linux stuff involved. NetBSD is very portable stuff, right? Of course.

netbsd's iscsi target compiled with some warnings about implicit definitions of some crap but woohoo it ran just fine. hah. i got that 100MB disk exported right now. So my t5510 is setup to netboot from iSCSI and basically, if I wanted, it …

I tried this before with all kinds of problems messing with booting a USB drive... Tried the reinstall image offered by HP and it had problems booting the FreeDOS kernel. I got a newer kernel and saw... omg, what the HELL kind of drive geometry is it giving my 512MB usb stick? fdisk did as old freedos kernel did - "Divide by zero" error. It set it as like 4000-ish Cyl, and 1sec/trk..!? So thats why USB booting sucked.. My 8GB one got something a weee more standard but still weird, it would always eventually boot..

So ANYWAY. I tried …

for real, i read an instructable that said, "free without buying anything" and the second line said, "you need swapmagic discs" hah.

Shawn: keep typing! i'll read it in a sec

Scott: DONT STOP OOOHHH YAH BABYLIKE DAT ...hrm wonder if there is more coffee...

Scott: so anyway this ps2 has hacks now, doesnt need a modchip, or a swapmagic, or action replay, none of that shit

took some research, ingredients where: PS2, Standard Memory Card, PS2 Retail Game (I used Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Bites?), and then made a backup of that game, swapping a file on the …

OK 800ms pings aren't the end of the world. I do believe a 1v1 game would do okay. Problem is, my buddy and I can't join each others games, and when I get into someone elses I get banned, of course. heh. mWWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Weird thing is, even with the Hamachi zero-config VPN, we don't see each others games. That's encrypted over UDP... I saw network activity. Wonder if it ignores high latency games since it's suppose to be a "LAN"

*cry*

So the trip planned for Friday to goto AWS 106 was made today, Saturday. I went with PJ and DJ. Got a pic of the same ice berg as during the sea ice training, from the helo. Was a short trip out, left at 9am, and wasn't to be picked up until 1:40pm. PJ had the stuff ready to go, and we swapped out the radio and installed a webcam in minutes! So now what?? We walked to the water. Some of it was open (unfrozen!) and we saw about 5 seals. 1 was a …

Usually the most asked questions, aside from if I've seen penguins yet, has to do with temperature and sunlight. I don't pay any attention to it, but here are two great pics I found on the intranet here that ain't too hard to understand. I have seen the sun start to go down, but I never was outside when I couldn't see it. As you see, temp at the end of the year may reach above freezing! I hear it's already a bit warmer this year than average, and at least one person here has predicted open water to come …

so i took the day off after that camping, and find myself back on the internets. kinda boring. anyway. for those interested, find below my contact information. as said on facebook, they've small selection of expired goods here. i enjoy marlboro menthol lights, butterfingers, rolos, kit kat, starbursts, nerds, etc. :)

I have no incoming phone number here, but you may leave a voicemail. I enjoy hearing familiar voices. My google voice mailbox # is (720) 984-2576. It's a Denver number because I can call out to denver for free …

I just finished uploading the picture to my facebook photo album.

It was a lot more fun and easier than I imagined. I kept warm. My toes surprisingly gave me no problems. My hands, of course, had a little. Because you have to take your mittens off to do some things. I had thin glove liners on tho, so they were never completely exposed.

We started with setting up the two big Scott's tents. next were the little mountain tents, and then a wind wall to protect them. at the time we built the wall, wind was actually perpendicular to …

i didn't do survival training where i stay out overnight yet, so shhh... but we went to a weather station about 16mi south of base. quick operation of just turning a screw and headed back. it took forever though at 12mph in a pickup truck with the wheels converted to tracks. heh. Gab sucks at driving, i think he hits every bump on purpose. seriously, there are flags every so many feet to mark the "roads" and he'd stray several yards from them to where the ice was bumpy... anyway.

it was really really windy but i was dressed up …

Okay, I am in Antarctica and have a Windows 7 RTM Professional product key, thanks to my college. But I got a Windows 7 Ultimate ISO with me. I installed the Ultimate easily to USB using VHD, but no need for this, nor ghost. I have Windows XP already on my EEEPC internal lil 4g solid state drive. yippeee.

ImageX works with the install.wim inside the Windows 7 ISO. You can find it and the directions I followed here.

So I got the ISO on the internets, extracted it, with lovely free 7-zip, to a fresh NTFS formatted USB …
