So, looking back I was considerably less productive this weekend than I had hoped. Nothing I had hoped to accomplish was done, I ended up working on both Saturday and Sunday. I had planned on working today (Sunday), but only for around 3hrs. This seemingly small job turned into a 6hr computer marathon. Like an idiot on Saturday night I started to play around with the idea of putting Linux on my primary computer which runs off of a RAID 0 array. I had never been able to get it to work, but decided to mess with it. I ended up blowing out my array, thankfully I had made a backup in case this happened, which killed my Windows install. I decided to split the array and run Linux on one drive and Windows on the other. I had to wrestle with Linux for several hours to get my three monitors working. In the end, I got everything working, but at the expense of my compiz effects that I love so much. Perhaps with Intrepid Ibex I will be able to make this work. The only high note I can leave this weekend with is that I made some good money today towards purchasing my new server. On the downside I have lost two days of work on my projects as well as valuable homework time. I may see if I can get something accomplished on this front tonight before I hit the sack tonight. Monday is going to have to be extra productive to put me back on schedule.
