I came back from retreat on Sunday afternoon and I have nothing but good things to say about it. If you live in the US and are Catholic and have never heard of the Steubenville South retreat in Alexandria, LA, it is something you should look into. I had a great weekend away from all my computer stuff and had time to have a little more fun. Oh well, back to my computer stuff.

This Friday, I am leaving to go up to Alexandria to go on a retreat until Sunday afternoon. I most likely will not blog or post anything here until then. Also, when I am gone, I will have basically no access to the internet or use of a cell phone. Yes, I can survive with out it for a few days. So you probably won’t be hearing from me at all for those 3 days that I am gone. Hope you don’t miss me to much.

Since I was bored the other night and since I got a faster Internet connection, I decided to once again get out my Dell server and installed Debian on it. Since my ISP is only one vital port that I need (Port 80), it doesn’t do much good for other people. I do, however, have an alias pointing to my home server which you can use called home.gamerx287.com. Another cool thing is that my ISP stopped blocking the IRC ports so I was able to link a server with Defcon from my house. That’s about all I have to say about the home server.

I have been a staff member on my friend, Dan’s, IRC network almost since it first started. Just about a few weeks to a month ago our IRCd Shell Hosting started getting worse and users and servers were dropping like crazy. Well we found some new IRCd hosts and they are running perfect. I have been working a lot on getting our servers up since Sunday night. I encourage you to join us on Defcon. You can visit the site by clicking on the link in the previous sentence.

This coming week is definitely going to be an exciting week for most iPhone customers and users. Well, exciting on Wednesday and Friday. On Wednesday, the long awaited iPhone 3.0 firmware update which will include things like Cut/Copy/Past, MMS, and more. Then on Friday the next generation iPhone, the iPhone 3G S, will be coming out to stores. Of course the only thing that sucks is that AT&Fail is ripping you off if you are upgrading from an iPhone 3G to a 3G S because they charge you an extra 200 bucks.
