Spent most of my evening cleaning up Kobalt.  Although I have been cleaning it every 2 months, or so, I finally went ahead and disassembled everything except for the heatsink, and psu.   Every fan grill had one side nice and clean, and the other crazy dusty/dirty.  The ability of dust collection by direct air flow for 5 years is amazing.   I also went ahead and replaced some of the fans.   I also have been noticing a rumbling sound, and have determined that the ball bearings on the fan on my video card has started to go.  I started to look up a replacement, and discovered that the once expensive ATi 9800 All-In-Wonder Pro  is now a mere 30$.   ugh, stupid time.   I have started to spec out a replacement  but I might just push it to be a headless machine, and remove the video card for power and sanity sake.   But for now it is staying off, so that I dont have to worry about it.

Earlier today I headed to campus, to get marc some of the code that I had written for the transistion line analysis.  I kinda want to setup a svn for the dept, so that we can all be diffing against a trunk, to keep everything nice and happy, but that seems like it would be a lot of work, so I might just push to get a git server up and pushing updates to it.   I miss all of the IT structure of UW and the PACS people.   I guess I should push to do that myself here, but it would be nice to have it for everyone without having to worry about all of the shit that goes along with it.
