I wanted cheap arcade cabinet for my MAME project, so I had a search at the local craigslist (rss) for arcade. It is near perfect condition, fully working.

I grabbed it, here are some pictures.

Edit 11/1:
I think this box was too good of condition for the MAME cabinet, so I put it up for sale.

My last year at University of Portland. I’m excited . I’m still workin at Autodesk, and will spend between 15 and 20 hours a week this semester working if all goes as planned.

CS421 – Artificial Intelligence – 3 credits
CS441 – Software Engineering I – 3 credits
CS451 – Theory of Computation – 3 credits
CS480 – Senior Design Project Prep – 3 credits
CS491 – Indepent Study; Game Theory – 3 credits

And I’m currently enrolled in the following class, but will most likely be dropping it
CS443 – Computer Vision – 3 credits

Two of my classes are project oriented with other students, which will give me lots of experience for the job market hopefully.

These are the exact classes I projected I would take.

Classes start 8/29/2005 at University of Portland.

I went with Grandpa, Uncle Bernie, Aunt Barbara, Cousin Kristin and Cousin Brandon to Cleveland, Ohio 8/10-8/17. We visited my dad and brother.

We also went to visit Amish community, which was about a 2 hour drive from my brother’s house.

We also took LOTS of photos.

I was setting up a FreeBSD system to use Apache, and I was running into some problems getting it to start normally. I had the following in my /etc/rc.conf file:

hostname="grtest.domain.name.com"
ifconfig_em0="DHCP"
...

and in my /etc/hosts file:

::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost


I was getting assigned a good IP, but when I would attempt to start Apache, I would get an error message similar to

[Thu Aug 18 11:05:11] [alert] httpd: Could not determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName

What I had to do to fix the issue was to add a private IP for my NIC. I did this via the FreeBSD Diary’s instructions, which involved:

1. Adding the following line to /etc/hosts:
   192.168.0.1 grtest grtest.domain.name.com
2. Adding line to /etc/rc.conf to add IP automatically to NIC on boot:
   ifconfig_em0_alias="inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffffff"
3. Add IP to NIC via the command:
   ifconfig em0 alias 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffffff
4. Restart apache, noting no longer an error:
   /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh restart

Now it will still give me a public IP from the DHCP, but now works so that Apache will start correctly.

I was having a similar problem on a Gentoo Linux system before I scrapped it, so a similar solution would probably have fixed that issue as well.

So there’s some talk about OSX on x86 is there? I’m pretty excited to get this running on a box, OSX rocks!
