Have you ever heard a stutterer on crack? I think JAWS just took a hit! Once I changed modes, it would only say "unknown character" as I moved from character to character, but in normal mode it just flipped out and made no sense.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22441298 Mon, 25 May 2009 15:57:30 EDT Re: [FP] Foldy 2 status. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22441249 TwoFrogs :
said by alphapointe See Profile :

Aaron told me that if I didn't take and upload a picture of the label I put on Foldy2, he would change my speech synthesizer to Russian and leave.

The braille says "foldy #2"
Well, just in case:

Probably a good thing we didn't try for a warranty repair of the onboard NIC. :huh:

Now that alphapointe has been confirmed as a new OP, the blade will be allowed to finish up it's work unit, and be packed up and sent out to it's next home Monday.

Not part of what Dell provided.
Its never been booted or officially registered under Windows.
I would have to look back to see what OS it came with?
Looks like these were ordered a year ago.

There were a few Ethernet cards I passed to Parkut.
Perhaps an add-on Ethernet would eliminate that glitch?

Our proximity surely saved at least $50+ in shipping for this hand-off. It sure saved me a lot of work otherwise making everything travel safe for the kind of ride FEDEX provides. :)

The machine has been renamed, the operating system has been reloaded (CentOS 5.3 x64) and is now running Linux SMP client.

I have one small issue with the onboard NIC, and will keep a close eye on it.

For now, it is now running as F3, blade #4 along side blades 5 & 6. Stats seem to be uploading normally.

I wish to extend my sincere best thanks for the care Jim (aka usa2k) has given to the blade, and while it is in my custody (however temporary that might be), I will do my best to meet everyone's expectations.

We are all so much the better for your work and dedication.

I, too, hope that new doors open wide for you, and soon.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22264250 Mon, 20 Apr 2009 00:14:30 EDT Re: [FP] Foldy 2 status. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22264103 mouseferatu : I surely appreciate all of the care and feeding of Foldy's that you have donated so generously over the years as an op, Jim.

I would also personally like to thank you for the extra mile that you went during the time that you served on the BOD with me.

There is a great deal of equipment accounted for and collected due to your efforts then, and your willingness to simply take anything that had no "home" made the whole project run more smoothly (and made my life much easier). :)

I also hope that all good things come for you and yours, and that the immediate future looks brighter quickly! :)

That is in a fairly ready state since things do not have to be packed for travel by a shipping company. I appreciate this very much.

I also intend to let Foldy2-14 finish a last unit and pack it in the original Dell Box awaiting its next home. (Which I think was possibly temporarily going to parkut See Profile too.)

Some day when life is rich and new again, I may be available again as an OP. In the meantime, I'll have plenty to keep me busy. I love every moment with our Helix family! :)
