I regard this as Jeff trying to keep up with the kenaos and calmans and gmgs. that is because, the week before he/kenao reinstalled Windows, there was a bit of FreeBSD action.
- HIstory: Jeff reinstalled Win2k on madcow on Friday in the early afternoon (3/2/01) after first wiping the hard drive. I consider this a smart practice, and the real labs on campus reinstall from images on macs/pcs every 6 months at minimum. Computers in educational labs cannot go without refreshment. Neither can I. Anyway, Jeff's GF was giving him non-sexual foreplay for like 20 minutes while he was in the admittedly awkward position of trying to do what any guy with a cpu bent enjoys, which is hanging out with his fellow cpu guys and "maintaining" a pc system. I pushed Jeff to leave, and then took over the PC after he did. I then spent at least 5 hours installing various software applications, patching them and windows, etc. I swear, the machine asked to be rebooted 20 times or so. I also tested out APCC's power management software, which I think is cool. Now, madcow can power down based on direct communication with the Back-UPS 650 unit, although I didn't install a network-based shutdown client. I also forgot to install dnetc.
Seriously speaking, Jeff is merely joining the program we now are all in on.
