I was having trouble getting a new OpenBSD kernel to compile. I've come to the following conclusions:

1. You can't remove cardbus support
2. You can't remove pcmcia support
3. You can't remove cardslot support
4. "pseudo-device loop 1" really ought to be at the bottom of the GENERIC default configuration file in at least a comment

I'm just a newbie at OpenBSD, so that is just what I've noticed over the last few nights. I got a new kernel compiled, rebooted, and it worked, so now I'm just waiting on one more NIC and the new used processor to finish it up and seal off the case for a while. I'll spend the time after that securing the rest of it, disabling remote root login, tightening firewall rules, etc. I've thought about disabling ssh, but I don't think I need to be that paranoid.

I had an idea for a way to bring together all my ideas for my new site into one common topic for a broad audience, but all the domains I thought of off hand for it were taken. It's something I've been struggling with... having a site I'm interested in using and participating in that has a way to bring the functions of the site together into an actual central topic, mutual interest, or goal. Theme would be a good word. Whatever. Perhaps I'll think of a creative pun on words as an alternative domain name to my initial thought. I think this is all lingering from the whole left behind when I spent so much time on the CL program for Geocities when they were still cool, way before Yahoo! merged over them.
