Since my Kernel build seems to be taking forever, here is what I’ve been up to. I’ve been trying to get
Working with the mixed system has been a pain in the butt, even though I followed §3.8 of the APT HOWTO I think I’m having package version issues. So I’m making a pure Sarge system just to boot via of them. It seems a bit overkill, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
While all my Promise RM8000s are fine, somebody else in the building started having problems with his. After two days of experiments by our lovely system administrators the current working theory is that it was plugged into a RAID SCSI device, and the RAID on RAID action seems to confuse it when use gets heavy. Its been getting use plugged into a normal SCSI card, and all seems to be functioning. My Promise RM8000s where always plugged into a non-RAID SCSI device.
A lot of things happened at work last week and I needed a drink. So, yesterday, on the way home I asked 余艾蕾 if she would like a Hong Kong martini when we get home. A Hong Kong martini is just a regular martini with a 甜話梅 in lieu of the traditional olive. She said she didn’t want something that strong, and I wanted something with dry vermouth. Consulting my copy of Cocktail: The Drinks Bible for the 21st Century I came across a good candidate. The vermouth cassis has 1½ ounces of dry vermouth and a ½ ounce of créme de cassis, stired with ice, strained into a chilled wine glass, and topped with soda water. While I didn’t have any créme de cassis in the house, I did have a half bottle of grand marnier. So I dub the drink the vermouth marnier, just like a vermouth cassis but with grand marnier instead of créme de cassis. 余艾蕾, who usually doesn’t like grand marnier, thought this was a good drink. I’ll try it out on my mother during tomorrows Eagles game.
