So, I finally made enough money to get me a new laptop, and a new phone as well as the old one didn't do bluetooth.

So I got a powerbook - it's my first Apple since my Apple ][.

My old server was slowly dying, so I bought a new one, and took the opportunity to do a clean reinstall.
I was supposed to run full tests this evening, and switch the two machines at the colo tomorrow evening.

But no, the old server wouldn't have it this way.

Something to brighten up the week heh.

Print Story There is something to be learned from a rainstorm

When meeting with a sudden shower, you try not to get wet and run quickly along the road. But doing such things as passing under the eaves of houses, you still get wet. When you are resolved from the beginning, you will not be perplexed, though you still get the same soaking.
This understanding extends to everything.

I'll be doing a week of sailing, possibly more. Would a diary on sailing be of interest?

I created a company 8 years ago. First service, then went into the ISP business. Ran it alone for a couple of years, then hired a guy, then another one. We even had a secretary for a couple of years.

See, my company had a nifty, open-source based mail system. 18 month ago it was cutting edge. And of course I ran it on my own server.

Print Story How do you avoid meatspace attention to your diaries?
Diary
By thunderbee (Wed Jun 09, 2004 at 11:23:00 PM EST) (all tags)
I was just wondering.
I guess I could make some interesting posts, but I'm not sure I want (OK, I'm quite sure I don't) some meatspace people to find out.
