After installing FreeBSD 7.0-BETA1, my (piece of shit) MGA card didn't work (G4+ using Matrox' Linux driver). Woe was me. Lots of trial and error and I still couldn't get it. Apparently, no one else can either:

Otherwise, 7.0 seemed pretty slick. Since I couldn't get the mga_hal driver to work with 7.0, I've installed 6.3-BETA1 for now.

If anyone feels like unfucking the mga_hal issue, I'd be pretty happy.

The FreeBSD 7.0 Release Schedule was recently updated with some actual dates. We should hopefully see a 7.0-RELEASE by Christmas or New Years. Beta1 is already out, and BETA2 is scheduled for the end of the month.

This is supposed to be the most significant release since 5.0.

By the way, FreeBSD is not a fucking Linux distribution. Grr, I'm tired of pseudo-geeks claiming that.


I have some work to do.

So after 2 years of inactivity and being broken, Hewphoria.com is back online on a new server.


Hopefully it's not terribly broken. I can't even remember how my own back-end code works. If the domain still resolves to the old site, try back later. DNS will take a while to propagate.

I've been toying with Pekwm again and ported a Metacity theme over.

Make Myspace suck less by getting rid of custom-CSS and shit people have on their profiles. I don't know how many times I visit someone's profile and can't even view it because it's bloated will bullshit. Or the browser will take over a minute to load it, or worse, crash.
