I nuked the dir that contained the images that were in all my previous posts. Unless my host has some magical backup, they’re gone. So for all my old posts you’re just going to have to close your eyes and imagine what I was talking about.
Who let me on the internet?
Buyers beware!
My father received this rather fishy email from an ebay user wanting to purchase his motorcycle we posted on ebay for him. The weird thing is that my email address is the main contact, as my father does not have an ebay account. We did, however, put his email address in the ebay listing, in hopes that potential buyers would contact him with questions.
“I’m hiding my email for privacy, you can reply using the yellow button.”
Pfffft!
I start a new job here at SLU on August 21st. More details soon.
I have a friend who has a friend who knows someone who had the funniest story to share….
This family has a teenage son who suffers from Down Syndrome. One day he wanted to go to the Zoo, badly. The family agreed and they all packed up and headed to the Zoo. No sooner than they had parked the car had the son ran off into the Zoo. The family had a general idea of where he was headed and proceded to unload the car and tend to the other childern. As they headed into the Zoo their teenage son returns, dripping wet from head to toe. He is visibly shaking even with a jacket on. He tells them, “Cold! Go home now!” The parents, not wanting to spoil the day for the rest of the family, tell him that it’s ok and that there’s a change of clothes in the car. He adamantly responds,”No! Cold! Go Home!” The parents relinquish and everyone piles back into the car.
Upon arriving home the son runs into the home straight to the bathroom where he locks himself inside. The parents figure he was just warming himself up or taking a shower. After about half an hour the parents become concerned and tell the son to open the door. At that moment the parents realize the true reasons behind their son’s erratic behavior. He had smuggled a baby Penguin home from the Zoo.
Yes, that’s right. The drenched clothes, the jacket, and the exclamations of “Cold!” were all because there was a baby penguin stuffed in his jacket. The parents quickly called the Zoo, explained the story and asked what to do. The officials at teh Zoo told them to stay put, don’t call anyone we’ll be right there. Ten minutes later they arrived to retreive the baby penguin.
Now you know why there are guards posted in the Penguin House.
So far we’ve discovered that cloning a Zen image v(ia ZenWorks imaging 7) to a Intel Mac is really easy…if you don’t want to be able to multi-boot or ever repartition the drive from within OS X. (via BootCamp)
Infact, we’ve come across another error message that doesn’t sound good:
Yeah, that’s right. Removed the Windows partition after a failed zen imaging and cannot recreate a windows partiton. Originally I had a 15GB partition for Windows, that I tried to overwrite with a zen image. When that didn’t work I deceided to delete the 15GB partition and start again, this time with a 20GB partition. That’s when I recieved the above error. If I went and dropped the partition size back to 15GB, BootCamp would run with out errors. Apparently the 5GB difference contained immovalbe files. But where?
On the onmac.net wiki there is an entry regarding triple booting. The author notes that he recieved a HAL.dll error upon rebooting. We recieved the following error when trying to restore our zen image.
Additionally, it’s of interest that in order to get the Public Beta 2 of Windows Vista running on an intel Mac you need to delete the 200mb EFI partiton. I am puzzled as to how the computer continues to function after deleting the partition.
We’re getting closer.
