oh, phlooey

The flu is annoying. Truly annoying.

In other news, I'm finally making some decent progress on the new server. Upgraded to Fedora Core 3 release (heidelberg) from the DVD I made earlier this week (which also marks my first use of BitTorrent, which appears to have been written by a former employee of mine from EarthWeb days). daily babble 2.0 is now in development; MT 3.121 is running fine (though I'd like to get it working under mod_perl 2.0 and I still haven't gotten a successful test of the XML-RPC stuff, which is unnerving me since SOAP::Lite refuses to pass a 'make test' no matter what I do to it.

I did get a DVD player program running the other day; with the NVidia X.org drivers, it actually looks quite nice. Too bad I don't have anything hooked up to the sound output to see how that works, but there is a S/PDIF optical out, so in the future, there may be a possibility there. Still, I doubt I want my server to waste cycles on MPEG2 decoding, so this would be more for amusement value than anything else.
