Just another rainy day.......
May. 1st, 2004 12:53 am....which is always a good day to sleep in, if you don't work 1st shift.
( This week was one of organization. )
One of the down sides of having too much stuff is that I forget that I already have something, and end up buying something needlessly. I found ribbon cables I could have used in the file server I built last week.
This was also a week of installation. I also installed -- or reinstalled -- some software on the aforementioned file server, which has since been christened "slave". (Two of my computers are named after the ones in Blake's 7. "orac" is my main production machine. I don't have a computer named "zen", although I sometimes refer to my Palm IIIxe as "zen". The laptop is named "tardis".)
I reinstalled the versions of Windows 95B, Microsoft Office 95, WordPerfect Office 7, and other pieces of obsoleted software that I had. I also installed Mandrake Linux 8.2, so I can get familiar with Linux system administration, the KDE user interface, and the Gnome user interface. (Has anyone worked with KDE? Are there any good tutorials out there?)
( Which begs the question: What can be done with old and/or obsoleted software? )
