A busy day, and kinda crummy. I've had a low-grade headache ever since I woke up at 05:30. Pain pills have kept it tolerable until it wears off, then I know it's time for another one.
Let's see... I said that it was busy. Well, I have a limited capacity when my head aches, and just walking around makes me think that I'm busy, I guess. So... what did I do?
I went to Sam's, and got some necessities. And found that they had a 30.7 gig HD for less than what BestBuy is selling it for... about $40 less, in fact.
And geez, I did a bunch of other stuff too, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was... O'yeah, I took the trash out, and... and...
Yeah! I remembered! I got the network running! Everything (almost) is working! Well, except I can't get SETI running on the P166 Linux box... aside from that, though, everything is fine... I figgered out how to mount shares from the other machines on the Linux boxes, had one of them there epiphanies, finally... 'bout damn time, too.
So everything's come together, network-wise... the next step is to get a HTTP server going (Apache) and get a FTP site up for my friends to store their software on, for a backup, y'know...
And the HD got mounted and formatted... I had to take one of the 8 gig drives out and put it in Karen's machine... it was full, anyway. So now I have a 30, a 13 and an 8 on this WIN98 machine. 51 Gigs. Hard to imagine... in my C=64 days, I would have thought that you could store all of the information in the world in 51 Gigs. And maybe back then, you could have done that...
O'yeah, and I re-did my Napster page... it's much prettier now... I'm getting ten times the hits on that than I get on this journal... go figger... people seem to want free music more than they want well-written prose... or even this journal!
Another thing... right now, and perhaps for the first time in modern history, I have all of the covers on all of my computers! Well, except for Tyler's, and the 486-133 Linux box, which really doesn't have a cover. And no, they're not screwed down... why would I do a thing like that? I'd just have to take the screws out tomorrow...
Speaking of tomorrow... I need to bathe and go to sleep...
