So, I have 3 DEC Alpha 500a, an older shuttle (maybe 2 -3 years old), a dual p2 300, a dual p3 600 1u server, that I don't use. I dont think selling those on ebay would be worth it, shipping would be a real expense....living in Hawaii it'd have to be 2 day air, and have you lifted a alpha? I swear that thing make a better boat anchor then anything else! Oh and all those machines are working, so if you want one make an offer, but you pay shipping:)
I agree, I started to do jiu jitsu about 3 months ago, it is entertaining, and a great work out. And because of this I've started to exercise more on my own (running, lift weights). Starting a martial arts will give you motivation to keep going and get in shape, of course you have to find the right one for you.
What if you've switched or currently use more than one nickname online? I've been using CrazyP since 1998, but recently have switched to using another nick, though still use CrazyP very often...
I never thought I would become a geek, in high school I could use a computer, had decent knowledge, but had no clue about coding and the such. Then I moved to Hawaii to get a business degree in 1998. Though, with having my own laptop I quickly learned about irc, mp3s, and *nix in mid to late 1999. This is also when I found out about slashdot from friends. I remember the days of trying to install linux and not having much luck, and then finally getting slackware successfully installed for the first time was a major accomplishment! This is about when I then realized I needed to change majors and I switched to Computer Science... I must thank slashdot for this, as it helped me realize my true calling in life, to be a geek! Slashdot helped the inner geek in me come out, so thank you again.
At least you only waited like three whole days, i waited like over a year, started reading slashdot near the end of 1999 start of 2000 (as this is when the geek in my came out), dont think I created one till 2001 or even later! Oh well, guess I'll be known as 521058 from now on.
I agree with everphilski. I graduated with my BS and felt like I still had a lot of learning left to do. So, I dove right back in and just like him I am graduating this semester and fully agree with him. Though, my next review I won't be getting a raise... they decided to just pay me like I had my masters when they brought me on with having to complete it, but can't complain about that been getting paid this way for over a year know:)
Yes, read code, read books, write code, that is the only way you'll get better. I am looking forward to January when I can start working again on a project I started and haven't had time to fully test and debug due to class and work.

IT and Divorce?

Thank you. I know I am not the only one out there has has experianced these troubles, but it would be nice to see my gneration take marriage more seriously and actually try to work through some of the problems, nothing is easy so why should getting married be an easy thing?
Also, things have gotten better for me, I mean I moved to Hawaii... how can I not be happy here?:)
Well, this is from my point of view. My mom was a school teacher (no she isn't dead, yet, but retired) and my father worked in IT (till about 2 years ago when his division was out sourced) and I also have a brother who is a year older. Okay, so you have the back round information. My parents got divorced in 1986. I am not sure why, but do I think it was from the job my father held at the time? No. Has it affected me and my brother? Yes, I mean my parents divorced when i was 7 years old and I saw my father every other weekend (so about 5 days a month). Does it still affect me? Why yes, I am not close to either parent. I have not talked to my father is several months, I talk to my mom often but don't feel close. As for my brother, we talk and have started to become close, but me living 6000 miles away doesn't help this at all... Because of this, I don't see my father as a father, I see him more like a friend, growing up that is how it was too. I mean only seeing him 5 days a month it was like lets go have fun, he never had to punish us or do any of that normal parenting stuff.
Basically, divorce sucks, more for the kids then the parents! I could go into more personal stuff too, but I dont have the time and you don't want to hear it... divorce screws with kids heads, has done it to me!
To start with, I stepped on it, broke the screen. Sent it back to toshiba complaning about the fan in the back not working, got that fixed and got a new screen for free. Around same time was eating taco bell near laptop and opened a packet of fire sauce and it went into floppy drive. Floppy drive still works great with the fire sauce in it. Then as I wanted a new laptop and had the extended four year warrenty and it was coming to an end, I tried to fry the motherboard. I had the thing wrapped in blankets and running for a good three weeks. Also, have dropped it/kicked it off the bed several times. Sadly I still own this laptop and everything still works.
Same here... just as long as they dont suddenly have something against Hawaii. email addy = grossp@hawaii.edu (yea, laugh it up, its a great email address. THANKS SCHOOL!) Email should also be able to be found in my profile.
Lets see, computer hooked up to tv and home stereo, also used for wireless router, laptops sitting on coffee table, old laptops just sitting on desk not in use anymore, cat5 all over the place, switch, routers...yeah i could go on...but its just not right....but we (roommates and I) need more stuff still:)
I know John Lennon released a song of just silence...and he died in 1980. So if anything he is the true owner of silence. I do not remember the song name or the album, but seeing as John was tragicly killed seems like Yoko Ono would actually own the rights to silence... why couldn't she have shut up about 30 yrs ago and let the greatest band continue instead of breaking them up.....
I have to say I really like pricewatch.com. Last year when I was upgrading my system the company I ordered all mobo/cpu/ram from (which I found from pricewatch) didn't even bother to charge my Credit Card. So, I couldn't complain about getting a free abit mobo, 1.13ghz cpu and 256megs of ram for free.
I was down in Waikiki (i live in hawaii) and was drinking and about a 6'2 200lb local guy (I'm like 5'6 so it was really fair) asked me and a buddy for beer. Stood up to give him a beer, and he hit me, and when i came to after about a minute, i said something to him and he hit me again. So drunk as a skunk i knew my jaw was busted, but still went to the ER and had a nice $400 ride there too. So yeah, Waikiki sometimes isnt all its made up to be:)
This past summer I had my jaw broken and I had to go get surgery done. I had my jaw wired shut for like 5 weeks, but it wasnt healing right. So the doctor said he needed to do more surgery. So, I ended up getting 2 Ti plates in my jaw. This made it so i would not have any problems later in life and force the jaw to heal correctly aligned. If you want to check out a picture of my jaw with the 2 plates (you can also see the break, so its pretty cool) go here

I am a student at UH, the wireless is pretty good, but still has some problems. I wasn't able to use it, I think it was due to the encyption. Also the building where the ICS labs are on the 3rd floor there is also wirless thanks to ANCL See UH isnt just good for cloning mice

You can probably easily donate them to a local public school or charity...
