iJournal kicks butt. This new version has spell-checking … I think that would come in handy for beldurnik. Not that his spelling doesn’t add a little something to his posts. This version also keeps track of who I have on my friends list … which reminded me that galatea still has my internal Zip drive.
I’m going to try and get my Sun Indy workstation up and running with Debian Linux. It has Irix (5.3?) on it right now … which kinda sucks because I can’t do much with it. It would be different if I actually had install disks for Irix, but I don’t. Hmm … guess I didn’t search eBay for those. I guess I could try that too. I need to get a new floptical drive for the darn thing so I can boot off the Linux install floppy. I took the existing drive out and cleaned it, but it appears to have a mechanical failure and won’t accept disks.
I took my truck into the Ford dealership in Hudson this afternoon to get an estimate on repairs (a deer tried to run me off the road about 2 weeks ago) and it looks like it’ll be in the shop 6/16 – 6/21. I felt really stupid ‘cuz one of the things that was wrong was my right front turn signal didn’t work. It turned out to be the bulb. I had replaced the parking light instead of the turn-signal. Grumble. I don’t feel too terrible though, since we couldn’t figure out what was wrong with the old bulb (it looks perfectly intact).
Time for bed … I had been aiming for being in bed by 10:00 … guess that didn’t happen so I will try to make up for it.
