The new Virgil (Virgil II, Virgil Jr.?) is now online and working just fine. Currently, I haven’t noticed anything that’s failing to work. In fact, several things are now working that weren’t working on the old server. It’s also processing data noticeably faster. I must say that I really enjoy using the VMware Remote Console …
Just yesterday, Michelle got some iPod accessories. First was an iStation IP106 Docking Station. This was something she’d been talking about for a while, and I wanted to do something for her with some of the tax return money I’d got. It works and sounds great. Second, was a Monster Cable iCarPlay Wireless FM Transmitter, …
I finally got my new watch. It turned out that I didn’t get a kinetic auto relay, or even just a kinetic, after all. Instead I got a basic Seiko 5 Automatic. (The actual one I got is slightly different than the one from this link.) But – after meeting a barrage of sales people …
Trying to reinstall FC3 on the new Virgil has been delayed by 3 days now due to overall stupidity. No matter what I tried I couldn’t get the large DVD .iso of the OS to download with Star Downloader (my download accelerator). I finally gave up and and started to download the set of individual …
Okay, my archive links now work properly. I’d been missing a “</script>” line in my archive template. Bizarre.
To be more precise, if you scroll down to the bottom of the right-hand side of this page, where the buttons for previous months of my writings exist, you’ll have a problem using them. Under Mozilla, you’ll see some annoying code at the top of the screen (even though it works aside from that). Under …
My solar powered watch stopped (again) several weeks ago. I managed to leave it out in the sun during one day since then and, after that treatment, it started working again, albeit with the “slow tic” that indicates it’s low on charge. There hasn’t been another even semi-sunny day since then when I could leave …
Okay, I’ve finally started working on the replacement for my server in earnest again. I’ve got the host up and running with RedHat Enterprise Linux 3.0 and GSX Server 3.1, and the VM (which will be the actual Internet server) with Fedora Core 3. I must say, it’s been a while since I’ve looked at …
Aside from being a paraphrase of something that kept getting repeated on a certain Star Trek: TNG episode, this aptly describes the new Microsoft Optical mouse by Starck (or should that be S+ARCK) that I received last week. (Hover over the “Choose a color” link to see a proper picture.) Getting it ended a slight …
Some time ago I got quite frustrated at being unable to get an AVI of last season’s finale of Nip/Tuck burned to SVCD so I could watch in on my TV. In the end, Michelle and I ended up having to watch it in the study on our new 20″ LCD (which wasn’t that much …
