I have a white-noise generator that I use to go to sleep by. It is not a perfect machine... you can hear the cycle, about every three seconds.
So, anyhoo, just as I am going to sleep, I can kinda hear words along with the cycles. Last night was
It's kinda like a free association thing, different every time before I go to sleep. Many times, the phrases are really off the wall...
But it always puts me to sleep. And I hardly ever remember. You know, that period right before you go to sleep... I always think, "I really want to remember that one..." and then I go to sleep and forget it.
Ahhh... minds are fun to play with. Especially your own.
I was up until about 06:00 this morning, but I gave up on the Linux about 02:00... mind just wasn't working, if you know how that is. Spent some time catching up on my journal-reading, a mind isn't really necessary for that, in most cases.
Woke up about 14:00, decided that eight hours was enough. Showered, did a few errands, picked up two 16-bit ethernet cards, one for the Linux machine and another for the Dell I got from Mom. It's running WIN95, so I should be able to network it really easy.
I put the PCI ethernet card in the Linux machine and I'm re-installing Linux again, hoping that it'll pick up on the new card. I don't know if I did the right thing, going the keyboard route on that system... I'm starting to get frustrated now. I want to play on my network... I want to play on my network now!
O'well. A little venting there, did me good. Hope you didn't mind too much.
I'm kinda looking forward to going to work tonight, though. I kinda miss the place. It will be kinda spooky around 06:00, though, when Linda doesn't come in.
I wish I would've gone to her funeral.
Arrgh. Re-installing Linux. I thought that I could just do an upgrade, but no, that didn't pick up the new card. Gotta do a complete install.
I'm sure that there's a better way, but I don't know that yet. When I find out, I will probably slap myself for being stupid. Not hard enough to really hurt, y'know... that would just be more stupid. Well, OK, I will figuratively slap myself. That works. Well, if I figuratively slapped myself every time I did something stupid, I would have very little time for constructive thinking. A real catch-22 situation, huh.
I think that's all for today.
