ports, sockets, FreeBSD, Lua
The luasocket in /usr/ports/net/luasocket is 2.0, but it has a requirement of compat-5.1 which makes it require lua50!
So, the best bet is to download luasocket from
the luasocket page, and then compile and install it yourself. However, its makefile and config file are kind of cracked out. It also assumes you use Lua 5.0 and need compat-5.1r5 which it comes with, but doesn't seem to want to compile into an object file even after editing the makefile.
I hacked on them a bit, and these should work for anyone who installed /usr/ports/lang/lua (5.1), and doesn't want to deal with the compat-5.1 crap.
configmakefile Hope this can help someone else out until the port gets updated.

quadz80, FreeBSD, vmware, ikea
...
The LAN party was something of a success, but there are more interesting things to note...
Running Vista 64-bit on ol' QuadZ80 was working out until I disabled Node Interleaving. I re-enabled it. I was under the impression that it should be disabled so that Vista can do NUMA. I guess either that was wrong, or Vista's NUMA sucks because I was getting Blue Screens and dying applications out the butt.
I
VMWare. I should try to test products for them or something. I've got VMWare 6 going on Vista64. I've FreeBSD 7.0 compiling ports, WindowsXP syncing to my Palm, and MS-DOS running all while playing LOTR beta all on top of Vista64
Good times. I'm getting my virtual machines set up better now. I basically use FreeBSD more than anything else, but the WindowsXP 32bit install on vmware is purely for syncing with my Palm Tungsten T3. No 64bit drivers on Vista for the USB cable! However, it works great through vmware which is pretty damn cool.
I've got the 8800GTS cranking for gaming, and I left my old 6800GS in the box with a second monitor hooked to it. Windows handles the second monitor very well even though NVIDIA's control panel does not. Vista's monitor settings are in line with Mac OSX, and may even have better detection. When I move, I'll be getting a wide-screen LCD and putting two monitors next to them. Then I'll probably line up some cheap monitors on the top shelf of my
IKEA Jerker Desk. I'm thinking 4-6 monitors tops =).
Working from home today, so I'm gonna get back to some Lua scripting.
Things left to do:
* Get Palm devkits installed on WindowsXP vm.
* Get Plucker going on WindowsXP vm.
* Xorg is compiling on my fresh FreeBSD-CURRENT build now, gonna set that up with vmware-tools
* play with some virtual appliances. I've already messed with FreeNAS and JanusVM. JanusVM is very cool! It does onion routing and everything for you transparently. It significantly slows down my internet connection, but that's to be expected.
* Get some more hard drive space and set up an instance of FreeNAS as a virtual storage server.
* need more RAM! 2GB ain't enough for 4+ operating systems running at once!
