Well, it’s 10:35 … time for bed. It’s the end of the weekend. I wish it would last a day or so longer. I wasn’t as productive as I had planned, but I did get something accomplished today. I spent some time in my spare bedroom modifying the bedframe that I built. I wanted it shorter so I chopped the legs a bit. It now looks quite reasonable. Now I just need to get a new mattress for it and probably finagle some additional support bars. The mattress is going to have to be a futon because I don’t think a new regular mattress would be flexible enough to go up the stairs particularly easily.
I also got the “server” that was up at my parents up and running. I think it could use a good cleaning because the soot and stuff that it ingested up north is now being spewed back out to some degree because I can smell it. I think it also contributes significantly to the temperature in the room though so it’s not on right now. I am going to try to move my mail from my main server over to this backup so that I can upgrade the mail softwere on the main one to something that will support seive scripts. I’d also like to start using a mysql database for login so that I can set up mail for people without giving them a login account. I found instructions on doing so, but my first attempt at part one failed to build. Grrr.
I also got off my butt and emailed some people I haven’t heard from in a while … Laura and William. Laura is a student at UW-LaCrosse and William is a grad student going for his doctorate in nuclear physics. Talk about a long ways from the farm he grew up on. I hope I hear back from them soon.
Random thought … anybody know where I can get a working Apple IIgs? I’d like to play some of my old arcade-type games again … hopefully the floppy disks still work. I know some of them do because I have a partially functional IIgs right now that will boot them, but I can’t type anything with the computer so I don’t know if the games actually run.
