    Quick Fix For A Broken Fedora 7 Boot Partition

    Jake9/25/2007

    So somehow I managed to break Grub this afternoon. I think it was when I was rebuilding my Damn Small Linux rescue image that I keep on my usb key. Damn those rogue grub-install commands ;-)

    Anyway…I went to boot my laptop and where grub usually starts up nothing happened except GRUB showed up in the top right corner. Not good.

    1. Find Fedora rescue cd
    2. Boot said rescue cd
    3. Run the following once system boots

    chroot /mnt/sysimage
    grub-install /dev/sda

    Reboot and all is well with the world…And before anyone asks…I didn’t rescue my system with my usb key because I left it at work :-D

    9/11

    Jake9/11/2007

    Hard to believe it’s been so long. I remember I was working for United Blood Services in Mississippi and was by myself down in Alabama at a hospital drawing blood from people who were having surgery. I had just pulled up at the hospital and a co-worker told me a plane had hit the WTC.

    It didn’t click with me that it was a big plane. Maybe a single engine with some student who got lost…After setting up for my 9 donors I switched on the TV to see if the news had anything else about it. Did they ever…As I turned it on they cut from video of the first plane hitting to a live image of the second plane hitting. I remember feeling physically ill.
    (more…)

    Stupidness

    Jake9/9/2007

    So last night around 1am Merlin let loose with some really loud barks. Normally he does this so I didn’t think anything about. I let him out, he did his business and then I put him to bed. About 30min later I noticed the distinct flashing of police lights out front. I got up and walked outside and apparently some idiots took 8 large stones that line a bed on my property and lined them up across the road.

    And you guessed it, someone hit them. Luckily no one was hurt but when they hit the stones it flattened both front tires and ripped the oil pan from underneath the vehicle. Now there is a huge oil slick in front of the house.

    I just don’t understand people. When I was kid we used to roll yards. And that only happened in Oct close to Halloween. And we only rolled yards of people we liked. Then we’d go help clean up the mess the next day. I guess times change. Now destroying someone’s car is the thing to do…Fucking retards.
