This week we tried a few games of pool (I still won ;) )

Vindaloo.
Grams and I played 1 game of snooker and then 3 of pool. Going to have to brush up on the rules of pool, it's been way too long, and there's at least 2 major variants that we're conflating. Still working on getting Gentoo set up for real work. Eric3 (a Python IDE) is crashing ...
First entry written from within Gentoo (It's still compiling...)

Still no luck with getting the binary packages (even with Darryl's suggestion). I'm guessing that something's messed up with my GENTOO_BINHOST setting. Not a huge issue, now that I have KDE up and running I can compile the rest of the packages as I work.

Gentoo is not for the impatient (More than 12 hours to compile XFree86 and KDE)

Granted, my machine is old, but that's 12 hours! And that still leaves me needing Mozilla and OpenOffice, both of which are apparently huge installs (though I can use the machine to some extent while those are going on). Need to figure out how to get the binary packages working if this is going to ...

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. Can't spare the time to worry about it now, as there's a few things that need to get done before people get in to work tomorrow if we are to seem spectacularly responsive :) .

Oooh, slow... (Maybe should have chosen a stage 2 install...)

The installation is now compiling gcc (a C compiler), and taking it's merry time about it. Something seems to be blocking rsync, so all of the packages are getting downloaded via http. I gather it will take at least another solid day of processing to finish (since apparently XFree86, KDE and Mozilla are all slow ...
