found on CraigslistAnd I did not put that up there. Looks like a legit ad?
Are you on track – am I ?

I just noticed a few fortune cookie messages near my desk at home:
The current year will bring you much happiness.
You will have many bright days soon
You will be a winner
Now I'm way to pragmatic to think you can alter ones life by writing a canned sentence, put into a cookie and change ones life. But [...]
going to 64 – part II (final)
Posted by mep | Filed under java, tech
As predicted, Gentoo screams on the x86_64 chips (built from stage I). The issues are getting Oracle's DB and jdeveloper (and the required jdk's 1.4.2_04) installed.
Since it's a development machine, and I develop for a living, it's back to Centos.
Eclipse wanted to install 3.1 version for the x86_64 platform, but there are issues with GTK, [...]
going to 64 – part I
Posted by mep | Filed under java, tech
I have been pondering the move from the 32 bit x86 to the 64 bit version for about a year.
I have not liked the price point – but I finally caved and picked up a 64 bit version via AMD's product line. Out the door at Fry's (I hate that place) for just under [...]

-EV for fun

I'm with my buddy at The Orleans playing some ring games (+EV event). Then we bailed for a change of pace and come craps (precision shooting, +EV event for us). After a quick double at the craps table with a $200 buy in – shooting points of 6 and 8 – placing the opposite number, [...]
Back from Vegas

T8o calls an all in with a board of AATA – what could the other guy have? Pocket 2's call an all in bet with a flop of AKJ rainbow? 82os calls an 5x bet preflop in horrible position. In a tourney , a player with 225 in chips tosses his cards into the muck [...]
Geek rule n+1
Posted by mep | Filed under tech
Whatever rule you wrote last, append this one to your list (assuming you know what a kernel is – else just close the browser, cause there is no help for you – just go back to clicking the pretty icons and getting rid of spyware):
Don't recompile your kernel 6 hours before heading to Las Vegas.Nothing [...]
…and the season begins
Posted by mep | Filed under Uncategorized
A nice non-work day, some pizza, a few Guinness and that sweet voice of Keith Jackson. Either I am dreaming, or it's the start of College Football. I promise I will not be on the couch until January…just give me this day. I need it. CFB, NFL, MLB, NHL, ya gotta love the next few [...]
