Days seem to get longer (When you don't stick to )

Today was mostly spent making the two scanners play nicely together and then moving the main cmon instance over to using the newest code (and then migrating data between the various databases). Also did some work on a side-project for analysing Cinemon results for Bryan, but by the time I was starting to get interesting ...

Back to work with me (Gentoo is built, but not yet booting)

Just finished the build process for Gentoo. Unfortunately, bootpart/nt-bootloader doesn't seem to want to load the new GRUB image.

I really do feel the need, so I'm powering up the laptop, pushing the Gentoo manual to the top of the bookmark list and nuking the Debian/Knoppix install. Let's see how far I get this time :) .

I wound up reading through the Gentoo Handbook's Installation Guide yesterday in order to get an idea of what's going to be involved. I also looked up what's needed for getting the Wacom tablet and the ATI All-in-Wonder support.
