what i am doing

well, i guess i'm doing occ4. after much deliberation i have decided to make my life as hard as possible by spending the week on 9front. i spent the last few days figuring out how to get 9front working well (with wireless networking) on my dell inspiron 6400 (1gb ram, from 2005 i think?). also i guess i will be sshing into my home server.

here are some possible issues:

• nobody has bothered to port sfeed to 9front.
• i can't get uxn to run without crashing.
• i have not figured out how to change the timezone from GMT.
• a lot of the videos on my home server do not work with treason.
• i have no clue if i can get my wacom tablet to work.

oh no

i had to recompile the kernel for wireless drivers to work.

note the battery percentage of 156% when it is full, and the time zone which is wrong. i can not figure out how to change it. copying the correct timezone to /adm/timezone/local seems to have no effect. problem with the timezone file?

sshing for git only occasionally works. usually it just refuses to connect.
