Day 1: We received our Pentium III and explored the bios of our computer. We found that the computer's had one floppy drive, one optical drive, one under 10GB hard disk, and not a lot of RAM.

Day 2: We setup the bios to look for the operating system, first in the CD drive, then on the hard drive. We installed ubuntu and played the wikid chill games.

Day 3: We tried to install a second hard drive today but had no success.

Day 4: We found out why our second hard drive didn't work last time. We needed to set it as a slave drive. We did that today and it worked. We now have a slave drive that is much bigger than the primary drive.

Day 5: We tried installing several different sound cards, but we had no luck. We were unable to get ubuntu to recognize we had a sound card when we tried to play mp3s.

Day 6: We found out that it is a bad idea to put metal on the motherboard while the computer is running. Ledin threw metal that landed in our computer and fryed it. We tried replacing various parts but concluded the whole thing was fryed.

Day 7: We grabbed a new computer and installed ubunutu on it. While doing this James explained to us how to make a LAN cable.

Day 8: Colin started making LAN cables while I installed the hard drive from our old computer as a slave.

Day 9: We gave the cable we made last class to Ledin, and the other one connected the router on our table to the wall. Today we made more LAN cables so that now we have one for our computer. Now James, Ledin, Robillard, and us have LAN cables connecting us to the internet.
