In the beginning

Well I started in music and computers early before there was really a internet to speak of that we know now.  I started out playing on phone lines, for me it started out a article I saw; a gadget called a "blue box".  That was when I was 11, the net wasn't around then it had started to take place; but wasn't around.  As a way to get me to show by the time was in high school thanks to mom, I got more computer time and for the system administrator to keep me out of the way; he gave me project's to do.  I kinda got in trouble before that, I was making crank calls to like Hong Kong and Sweden.  But I wasn't paying for them.  Well the system administrator at the high school got wind of it and started to push me too, getting a career in IT.  Which after shoving horse poop, that sounded way better as you can imagine; so I went into it.  By 1995 something called Linux was released onto the internet and by 1997 I was using it exclusively only jumping back to Windows for gaming, well events happened and I was stuck with Windows for a long time.  Well thanks to a friend, I was back on Linux and I've never went back.  Well now on the good side, I've got on steam which now offers great games for Linux OS, so all is now good in my world...  Crow

Plan 9 and Minix, a true Unix OG's

Well not many people know a whole lot about computers, outside of turn them and click on the IE icon.  But even less know where it truly started from, well that I'm about to tell you about a revolutionary idea in computers; that was a true game changer.  It started out in early 1970's, when Ken Ritchie and a few other's at AT&T's bell labs, wanted to save a old computer that his supervisor wanted to get rid of because it had "reached its end of life".  Well like a  lightening bolt it hit Ken Ritchie, then him and a very small group of people; went on to creating a operating system, which later was called Unix.  An something else monumental came out of that tiny room to, a programming language called "C++", what Ken Thomas and Dennis Ritchie and the others didn't know was they were creating history in that tiny room at Bell Labs.  Computers were starting to find to universities and government area's, outside of telephone companies!  It crested ripple affect in the early IT industry, many things have happened since then; but the story is now history, now Plan 9 is Unix, it's going by Plan 9 now.  An now what does Minix have to do with all this you ask?  Well lemme be the first, Linus Torvalds wanted a kernel that operated similar to the one the university he was at the time, which was a SunOS  computer, so he came across Minix; then downloaded and looked at the internals and then downloaded free tools from GNU.  Like for example GCC and EMACS, GCC stands for GNU C Compiler, an EMACS is a text editor.  Well after some time, the Linux kernel came to be and it's history,..especially to computer geeks like me!!!!

Dream desktop part deux

Ok here goes on what my dream desktop like as of now!  32 gigs of ram 2x4 terabyte hard-drives, 24 inch LED monitor nvidia graphics card with 4 gigs on that, LED case and mouse, CD/DVD rom, keyboard, 4 port v3 usb card (not to mention what's on the motherboard) built in WiFi, gigabyte nic card.  Doing a dual boot 4 terabytes running Linux Mint with cinnamon desktop and all the codecs 64 bit, the other 4 terabyte running ubuntu with xfce desktop doing the job of DNS; as well as a 1200 watt power supply unit  It's going to be a beast, I'm going to rock it like I own it.  Also I'm going to max out the ram and put a 1 terabyte solid-state hard-drive in my laptop, well that's about it for now so rock it like you own it.  Well everyone peace and keep on the sunny side..

Unix and Linux fun for all

Well I've been downloading ISO's and kernels, so far I've downloaded just about every Unix and Linux distribution I would need to do anything I would need to do.  I've even downloaded the Hurd kernel, which was supposed to be the original kernel for GNU operating system, but Linus Torvalds came in at just the right time and the rest is computer history.  But still going to load up a distribution that's currently running the Hurd kernel and see what I can find out.  Even downloaded the Hurd kernel by itself so if I like it; I'm going to use it!  But now I can say I'm ready to take on the world of computers and have some fun along the way with my new IT exploits.  Monday I'm going to get a updated Linux kernel and install it, it's always fun to do this, but I'm the preventable Steve Urkel.  But I can also say I'd like to do a bowl right now too.  Wish I could shut my mind off for a few hours, but no such luck, but I can also say it's a blessing and a curse.  It's gotten me in and out of trouble many times.  But on another note, I'm ready for Easter, but I can't help but think of my mom on Easter, it was her favorite holiday.  An I know her and my son are in heaven, looking down at me no matter what I am doing; I just hope I get where I'm going.  It's been a chaotic time for me recently, but I'm happy for that and I'm enjoying it while it lasts.  Because bad times will come; but thing's do get better; but just takes time.  An like sand through an hourglass there goes the day's of lives lol.  Anyway I'm out, IT monkey out lol...

Hooking a desk today, instead of a corner

Well sitting at a desk, doing practically nothing nothing and bored; good I have a WiFi enabled cell l (haha).  An something I've known for quite some time is there are a lot of assholes out in society, an surprise I'm sitting next to one (he goes by Shawn); I could slap the living piss out of him and catch him alone and at night; I will.  Because anyone that knows me, when I say I'm going to do something, I do it!  Anyway I'm getting online more often now that there's more reliable WiFi networks in town.  So come Monday I'll be going full force online, I'm going to download pfsense, securityonion and FreeNas (yay me lol).  Well that's the jist of things at the moment, peace and keep on trucking!!!

Things that are meant to be

Well I'm finally going back to school, I'm so ready for it.  I bought a new laptop and I got rid of Windows, an put Linux Mint; an alternate kernel.  Also I got a new flash drive and went to the library and downloaded a ton ISO's; Linux and Unix, an many different architectures too.  I want to build a few servers, one running Samba; and the other running web and dns jobs.  I have like @15 gigs of just ISO's.  An that includes network installs.  So anyone need a computer tech, holler at me...peace

Hospitals

Okay, just a quick post; I was locked in the state hospital and I was fine this time.  I basically got mad at some people, which granted can be scary for some people.  But I didn't need to go to the state mental health hospital for being pissed for a little while.  Even the psychologist told I was fine and didn't need to be there,  I also got booted out of where I live too; but the place that didn't all that; it all back fired on them big time.  Now I am in a new place and sitting on over 4200 bucks, so I paid up where I live for awhile and I am going shopping laptop, cell and a few other toys and stuff I desperately need.  As of now, I am doing all good so to all the people that screwed over a little while ago FUCK YOU  I am now the one that's ahead
