Gameboy Advanced Part 2

So I got home from work today and Carolyn had a great surprise for me. She went to Best Buy today and bought me a Gameboy Advanced SP. I couldn’t believe it. I was very very happy. She bought me two games to start. First she bought me a Mario Brothers 6-in-1 game which is pretty cool (She has been playing that one more than me). The second game is Star Wars: New Droid Threat or something like that. I am such a Star Wars nut that it rocks. I will start to post game reviews from time to time about new games that I have purchased.

Gamboy Advanced SP

I want one. I think that I am going to go pick up one today. I can justify the purchase, I really can. Everyday I have to take the train from Fremont to Oakland. I have about a 45 minuted commute on the BART. So I would love to play a game and just relax. I have been reading the reviews of it and they have addressed alot of the problems with the regular Gameboy Advanced. I really like that is actually has a backlight and a rechargable battery. This is a plus that made me not want to get the orginal. Well may I will stop buy Fry’s on the way home and get it. They are having a cool package deal on it there. That is about it.

Site is up.. and Linux is back

So, I was getting sick and tired of Windows 2000 as PDC, Webserver and E-mail server. I just hated that I had to reboot every couple of weeks just to make sure that it wasn’t hung on something. I went with Mandrake Linux 9.0 for the server. I am very very happy about it. I actually used Samba to make it a PDC for my domain. I am still trying to work out some of the bugs. I still have to get my Mail server running again, but that shouldn’t take that long. So, I am going back to work and I am going to finish with this machine.
