it’s unix, not eunuchs

It appears the problem was my base station. Or at least that’s my latest suspicion. We’ll see how long I can manage to stay online.

How to pause a dos script? thought I’d share one way:

And I’ve used it to create this small staylive.bat job. I’m hoping it will keep my computer upstairs from falling off the wireless network.

:begin

ping -n 31 127.0.0.1 >NUL
nslookup yahoo.com

:end

it’s to fix up my wireless woes. So I’m going to give Fedora 3 a shot… It’s still in beta so hopefully it’s not awful. I only had 32MB in the box and Fedora puked on that. So I threw in a big stick of 256M Viking memory, but it’s crap and threw errors immediately on memtest86. So I moved it around to make sure it’s not a slot issue. And it wasn’t the slot so I tossed that stick. Then I cannibalized another box and upped it to 64m. That seemed to make it happy. I’m going to let it run on memtest for a bit before I invest any more time in it…perhaps till tomorrow evening.
