Late Friday Night Updating FreeBSD
Wow, I should never gone to class Friday. My fever returned in the afternoon so I canceled my other engagements and headed home. I ended up taking some medicine and slept most of Friday evening. Got some really good sleep too but now it is nearly 2 AM in the morning and I am quite awake.
A lone cricket is making a lot of noise downstairs. I thought it was Ally, the littlest kitten, crying on the terrace so I let her in. When I brought her downstairs, I realized it was a cricket. Crickets normally do not make it out this far from District 1.
Now I am on my custom desktop updating it to FreeBSD 7.0 which was released earlier this week. I am using the freebsdupdate(8) application to update from FreeBSD 6.3 to 7.0. Currently, I am recompiling all the ports with portmanager so they will link to the new 7.0 libraries. It should take most of the night and tomorrow morning to recompile my whole system.
Maybe I will get some more sleep tonight, maybe not. That cricket is sure loud.

@Mike: I like portmanager, much faster than portupgrade. It also reminds me of Emerge from Getnoo. I was under the impression that it was still under development. Why did development stop?
Thanks for reading my blog and the award :)

LikeOn Friday and Saturday nights, you tend to finish the night off by going to the Chinese restaurants around 2 AM. Some people may stay at the one or two clubs that stay open all night now, just a few.
If was not sick, I would have gone out last night. Instead, I stayed home, slept and then ended up staying awake until about 3 AM.
