I logged into PayPal tonight to pay my Web Hosting provider - and found they now have a FREE BillPay Service. Best of all - they actually had a list of Vendors that I've payed recently. I guess they get this from my bank account. Pretty cool though - I'll be using it shortly and I'll eliminate the last three bills I have to write checks for.
Dell support came through for me in a matter of minutes. About 45 minutes after I e-mailed them from support.dell.com, I received this:
If you upgrade the memory, the RIMMs must be upgraded in matched pairs of identical MB capacity in both sockets 1 and 2 or sockets 3 and 4. Be sure to install RIMMs in the first two sockets nearest the processor before installing RIMMs in the outer two sockets. RIMM slots without memory modules need to be populated with continuity.
So I installed them in pairs - and whalla! 
I got a 1 Ghz worth of new RAM today to upgrade my XP box from 512 MB -> 1 Ghz and my RedHat box from 256 MB -> 768 MB. But, when I tried to install it, my motherboard starting beeping at me loudly. So I guess it doesn't work :-(. Now I'll have to wait another week while I mail it back to the folks I bought it from and hopefully they can send me some that works. For the record, I tried to install Samsung RAM into Dell Dimension 8100s.
It's shaping up to be a helluva ski season this year. I can't wait! My wife can't wait to move to Florida next spring. The little one (due November 7th) should keep us both happy until then.
The question is "should I get a ski pass or not?" I've had one for the last 5 years, but last year sucked and I had only one 9" day at work. The year before, I had over ten! With snow already resting beatifully on our mountain tops, this year is lookin' good.
Oh man, I feel for poor ol' Russ.
I forgot to swap my hard-drives before installing Redhat.
It's gone. Everything. Gone. For some reason, a couple weeks ago I bought a 25-pack of CDRWs ready to go... and haven't used any of them except to back up some pics and Ana's file (during her original move). All my emails for the past 8 months (since my last backup) gone. Dev work? Pretty much gone. Graphics? Passwords? Documents? Software keys? Any digital photos from the past several weeks? Gone, gone, gone.
I've been there before, and I can't tell you how many times I've "rescued" my Windows box from sure death (well over 20 times). My advice - a six pack will ease your pain. The last time I hosed my machine I waited for a full 2 days to try to fix it, and whalla - I actually fixed it in under an hour! About 2 months ago I made it a lot simpler for myself and only do one OS per machine. My condolences - here's to finding your backup.
I was digging around in 4.1.12 and found that there's a whole new way to specify your context. You can now do it in a context.xml file in your webapps directory. Here's the manager.xml that ships with Tomcat.
<Context path="/manager" docBase="../server/webapps/manager"
debug="0" privileged="true">
<!-- Link to the user database we will get roles from -->
<ResourceLink name="users" global="UserDatabase"
type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"/>
</Context>
Cool! That'll make Tomcat much easier to configure.
And just like that, I'm finished - in approx. 21 hours and 30 minutes from when I decided to start downloading. The smoothest upgrade of any operating system I've ever seen. I really like the new desktop UI - but I've always been a sucker for eye candy.
That's what they're saying over at theserverside.com:
The most commonly used Java application server execution environment today is Apache Software Foundation's Tomcat, according to BZ Research's latest Java Awareness Study, conducted in August 2002. In the study, 52.2 percent of all respondents said Tomcat was currently in use at their companies.
"The app-server question response clustered into four groupings, with Tomcat standing alone. Next were the three major commercial Java app servers: IBM's WebSphere, at 29.0 percent; BEA's WebLogic, at 24.5 percent; and Oracle's Oracle9iAS, at 20.8 percent."

As you might've guessed, the first 2 CD's installed in about a 1/2 hour and know I'm waiting for disc3 to complete. 200 MB left, ~50KB/s. The GUI interface for installing has smooth fonts like Quartz Extreme on OS X and Clear Type on Windows XP. It's interesting on these Red Hat downloads - this is my 3rd or 4th one and there's definitely an art to it. I usually surf through the mirrors list with SmartFTP open (on Windows) and copy the ftp urls. SmartFTP detects an FTP url on the clipboard, prompts you to connect, and away you go. Yesterday and today, I'm about 1 for 10 on those servers that actually let me get through. But you can't stop there, you have to find the fastest server you can. Last night, I had good luck with a couple servers from Australia. The fastest one I ever found was ftp.orst.edu - I downloaded one CD in less than a couple hours! I couldn't believe it - maybe someone forgot to turn on my bandwidth constrictor. 472 out of 646.
I decided to start installing Red Hat 8.0 with disc's 1 and 2 - and hopefully 1) I won't need disc3, or 2) it'll be done downloading by the time I do. The coolest part so far - they actually have a test at the beginning so you can test your CDs. What a lifesaver - I've installed Linux many times and found out on disc2 that my CD or iso image was bad.
