Hi Blog

It’s been awhile… I would like to write in you more. I’m currently drinking some green tea which is very tasty. I would like to clean and re-arrange my office. I would like to setup my network including my Soekris box and my Mac Minis. I would like to hack again. I need motivation. Kyle, where the hell are you? I want a comfy sofa / chair for my office so I have...

What's going on with Walter?

Well I barely write in my blog anymore and that’s mainly because of Twitter which can be found on the left hand side of this page. I think I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, it’s just so much easy writing a quick sentence or two on what your doing or what’s going on with your life. Anyway, I have some goodies coming in for me this weekend and I’m...

New Job

I’m currently finishing up school, actually, I’m pretty much finished school. During one of my last classes (UNIX Operating Systems) my instructor was reviewing my exam and out of no where said “Walter, are you looking for a job?” Well I thought he was kidding around until later I emailed him only to find out that he wasn’t. Long story short, I’m now employed at...

MacBook Pro Madness

So after three different brand new MacBook Pros, yes THREE! I’ve finally settled on one. It really is ashamed I had to go through two of them before I found a machine that was worth the money I spent on it. Anyway hopefully I can settle down and enjoy this beauty for a couple years. I kept selling and buying new Pros because I always thought Apple was going to re-design. Well they finally...

Sabrent SBT-USC6M USB to Serial Adapter on Mac OS...

For some reason I had a hell of time trying to use this $9.99 USB to Serial adapter on my MacBook Pro to console into my Sun Netra servers. For anyone out there Googling this (I hope the title should suffice once spidered) this is how you should go about getting this adapter to work. First off don’t use the driver from the Sabrent site. It does not work! I’ve installed the supplied...

Puter Update v2

So scratch that whole 17” MacBook Pro. I decided to look through the auction one more time before actually sending payment and what do I come across? 8600M GT 256MB… Um, yeah, that’s the old model. DAMNIT! Well, at least I didn’t pay for the item and believe it or not the seller was really nice about the whole situation and offered a Mutual Withdraw. Is was back to the...

Puter update

Well I’m one step closer to having my own machine again. This time a top of the line MacBook Pro 17” with the 2.6GHz, 7200RPM 200GB HDD, and Hi-Res LED backlit LCD. I’m pretty sure (minus the 4GB RAM upgrade) it’s the most you can get out of the MBP line. If you go to www.apple.com and price one for yourself you’ll see that it comes out to $3199.99 before taxes. I won...

Waking up with China Green Tips

So like I’ve stated in my previous post I most likely won’t be updating my “full” blog nearly as much as I do my twitter. I figured I have a little time before I start my day (although it’s already 1 PM) to write a little. So let’s see what we have here… School The summer semesters are finally over. I really only took one semester because one of the...

A fresh look

I haven’t abandoned tumblr but twitter is just so much easier to update. Anyway, I’ve updated my theme to incorporate twitter so you have a one stop shop if you will. Hopefully the project that (hasn’t had much attention lately) I’ve been working on will bring everything together. In other news I’m selling my Asus EEE 900 20GB Linux model and moving to a better...

I mean who doesn’t? Honestly though, I’ve signed up for twitter and in conjunction with my iphone it’s just so much easier posting even shorter info on what I’m doing. http://www.twitter.com/imwally

Need rediculously high res wallpapers?

If you’re like me and have a dual head system with a resolution of 3360x1050 then you know how difficult it can be to find some decent wallpapers. Well look not further. Mandolux is the place you’ve been looking for. This site is absolutely amazing. Crisp clean photos that aren’t too much for a wallpaper. He gives you the option of cropped portions, one for your left...

Two hours of my life and 4GB of DVD space back. OpenSUSE 11 is absolutely horrible and don’t let anyone else tell you differently. It would not recognize my second monitor with “Auto Configuration” and would freeze every time it tried launching KDE4. Now I’m not one to say Plug and Play and Auto Configuration is the way to go. I actually prefer editing config files and...
