I’m working on a new eat healthier / exercise thing

Nothing serious, just more of a “let’s not get everything you can” to eat and “perhaps I should walk a little more” deal for right now.. Before I do any serious exercise I need to build up the muscles in my right knee or odds are I’m going to have to have surgery on it

I’ve gotten so far behind.

I was trying to update OpenSSH to 4.5p1.. but I also needed to update zlib and openssl.. Well, I can’t find where FreeBSD installed them in my initial install.. so i create a /usr/local/source directory and point it to there..

Yay! It works! . Except, one problem. In the old version if you added “enable_sshd=”YES” to rc.conf it looks to the old binary which is in /usr/sbin/sshd and with this version the binary is in /usr/local/sbin/sshd

so.. do I create a sym link? not sure how else to go about it..

“At runtime, sshd will use the path defined in /etc/login.conf
Make sure the path to scp is present, otherwise scp will not work”

is the message i get after configuring.. except there isn’t a reference to sshd in login.conf!

EDIT: I got it I got it.. Except.. It’s still not recognizing my latest version of openssl.. I still have an hour to fix it before I have to go home.. lol. I’ll get it

If you were to base the quality of my life by my posts on livejournal it would seem things were going quite poorly indeed.. but quite the opposite would be through.

I just use my LJ to moan and groan and get things off my chest. If you’re close to me you’d know how great things are going right now. But for the few of you who are on my friends list that I don’t talk to very often I thought I’d give an update.

I couldn’t be happier right now.  I have a job that for this point in my life is really quite good. It’s true that I don’t like UK or my current living situations but those are just minor annoyances that in the grand scheme means nothing.

It’ll all come together. It’s just going to take some time :)

When trying to schedule I found out I had an advising hold.. oops

So, I looked up my profile trying to get in touch with my advisor because my “priority registration” deadline ends.. tomorrow at 7. What’s this? I don’t have an advisor? Shot an e-mail w/ the A&S dept.. Hopefully something will get sorted soon

*sigh*

I hate this school.. and town…

Also, the breaker box is in my room and I really don’t know if it’s safe and/or fair to put a padlock on my door considering our wiring in the house is absolutely horrid and lately breakers have been tripping on a regular basis.

EDIT: So I’m at work and my boss is training a new guy.. and it’s fairly late in the semester and theres a full schedule.. Hmm. I wonder what that means for me?
