This morning, instead of my normal alarm (my cell phone playing the theme to “Halo” in my ear) I was awoken by a construction worker whom I have informally dubbed “Thor”.
He is so dubbed because his weapon of choice is a giant jackhammer. His mission is to utterly annihilate the sidewalk outside my condo in order to install the exceptionally speedy Verizon FiOS to my eagerly waiting computer. Jackhammers are more pleasant when they are the harbinger of fiber optic Internet access.
In honor of “Thor” and his early morning auditory assault, I am compiling Gentoo on an old machine that has been sitting in my closet for months. My intention is to create a new server to take advantage of the ever broadening bandwidth and to give my buddies and I an online haven for time-wasting. Stay tuned for updates.
