robbat2Ok, so day 2 of my new job.
I finished the AMD64 install on the Laptop, figured how to boot the Ubuntu LiveCD into a non-framebuffer command prompt (add "vga=0 debug -b 3" to the kernel parameters in grub). Spent some time configuring the laptop to my liking.
Had a dolphin-friend tuna salad sandwich for lunch, and got one of the end pieces of a freshly baked banana-bread loaf for desert. Bought a whole banana-bread loaf. Helped Ryan get a netboot rig going, enabling him to doing the flashing for his embedded systems much quicker.
Spent most of the afternoon preparing a pair of wireless units (Airaya GRIDs). The two pieces of documentation that were with them turned out to be almost totally unrelated, so it stymed me why they weren't working at first. Also, take care not to walk in front of the antenna, as 5580Mhz @ 21dBm, as you will get a headache very quickly.
