Waal, the default installation of this thing smlnj (it's a programming language) on Gentoo Linux is very broken, and it expects to find things in a directory that doesn't exist... so what I did was make that directory be there, and be a link into a directory that does exist, where the things it wants to find actually are. Just sort of in a jury-rig sort of fashion... (earlier futzing had involved changing its other unreasonable expectations manually...)

... the life of the CS student is an exciting one indeed.

:) :) :) All Greek to me, but impressive, nonetheless. :)

I think the geekiest part is that your computer is named "elrond". =)

*laughs* Perhaps geekier than that is that the other two are named celeborn and eowyn...

... so what're your machines called? Do you have a particular naming scheme?

It's not ugly at all...

...just unorthodox.  Personally I think it represents the true beauty of what can occur when the freedom of a linux box meets a brilliant and innovative CS major.  This is computing the way it was meant to be!
