Well, its good and bad news. The good news is I have this spanking new server. The bad news is, I have this new server because the old one died.
Seems one of the harddrives (maxtor) in the old server ate it. Now all it does it make clicking noises when we turn it on. Remeber kids, this is why we should back our information up. As of now, I don’t know if we will, or even can salvage anything from the harddrive.
This new server is pretty swank though. Running 160gb in a Raid1 array, an extra 120gb harddrive, 2gb’s ram, 2.0Ghz Xeon (HT) cpu’s x2. Yep, its got 2 processors in there, and they are hyperthreaded, so it’s almost like have 4.
School also starts next week. Something else NOT to look forward to. oh well….

ok, so i haven’t posted on this in a while. Schools kept me a bit busy. But its starting to clam down, i think. Maybe its just the calm before the storm. I got my midterms around the corner already. Some things that have happend since my last post.
The olympics
gallery.ysahawaii.com is backup
I started playing WOW (probably a bigger time sink then school)
OSX runs on intel hardware.
Other things people might be interested in is the program i have attached to this post. Its called RoundTripper. It allows people to export methods from a .NET program (C# or VB.NET). It will decompile the original program into byte code, insert a few commands and recompile it. The whole thing is made with Regular Expressions. If you looking for it here it is.

Last week I ran across what looked like an interesting program (Tizzle Talk). It translates your IM for you. So I tried it, yeah i know bad idea. I couldnt quiet figgure out how to get it to work, and I mostly use trillion, so I uninstalled it, or so I thought.
I opened up my ‘My Documents’ folder today and noticed there were 40+ folders in it. Ones that I know I didnt put there. AppPatch, Microsoft.NET, WinSxS, Oracle, System32, Fonts, etc… If these wasn’t weird enough, some folders were listed multiple times. I didn’t know NTFS would allow a folder to contain files of the same name. A quick look at the dates on the folders showed they all were created the same date/time I installed Trizzle talked. A quick scan of my HD for all files on that date showed them in a bunch of folders. I had more of these ‘ghost’ folders in Windows, Windows\System32, Program Files, Program Files\Common Document Settings\\. I’m not sure what this has to do with trizzle, and why it created all of them, but each folder was empty. So point of warning to anyone who uses/used trizzle. You might have a bunch of extra files laying around.
Did i mention it’s been raining here for the last week… lots and lots of rain.

Ok, I’m in moloka’i for the summer. Helping my family to build there new house. Nothing quite like going from a desk job, to hauling cinder blocks all day long, under the sun. I swear I have a lable someone on me that says not to expose to direct sunlight. Oh well. Did i mention cinder blocks are heavy, and there are about 10 pallets worth to move.
In case you were wondering about moloka’i, its friendly. There is only one main road on the island. Everyone waves as they drive by. There isnt alot of cars on the street too. Of the ones you see, 90% are 4×4 trucks. I’m sure almost everyone knows everyone here. I still have yet to explore the island and see all the hidden things. Maybe I’ll get some pictures too.
There is no mail delivery, you just pick it up at the postoffice in your PO BOX. Fed Ex you say, well I did see one truck, but its been parking in the same spot the last 2 days. There are a few banks around. Bank of Hawaii is here with a nice building. But one town over, there is another bank, and it is in what looks like a portable building. You know those temporary calls rooms they build at the highschools, out of wood. I swear the bank was in one of those. What ever works right?

I have had less time then I expected to here. I work 40 hours a week building the house, but the is only spaced across 4 days. For those not to quick in math, thats 10 hour days. What time is left durring the day is spent watching Naruto on youtube. Then it’s off to sleep to start everything over again. Here in a week or two though, we will have caught up on all of the episodes. I dont know what we will do then.
We filled the columns up with concrete and put the beams on them last week. This week we finished the floor and put frames for the exterior walls up. Its so much nicer now that we are out of the dirt and have a nice wooden floor to walk on. It is also nice to see some progress.
Today we went all the way out to the western most point of the island. Only way there is down a dirt road that goes through the ranch. Then is a little hike down the beach to the point. Seems most people just bring their 4 weelers there and speed down the beach and dirt paths. Us poor people just walk it in slippers.
Oh yeah. for those who care, Pictures
