Wow. Not much posting going on here… I’d had a half a piece written last week that I’d saved as a draft and I guess I just kinda left things hanging around. Sorry ’bout that. I’ll be popping things over from Draft to Publish later today, so look for at least three new entries showing up as if they were old entries.
I’m refurbishing an old Powerbook G4 on the other half of my desk right now. For the last six months or so it’s been pretty much retired, sitting on a shelf in the server room. It’s battered all to hell, with one broken hinge and a bunch of dents and scrapes up one side. The screen works though, and everything else seems to be in working order too. It’s the machine that my boss used to use, and I know it’s been in at least two bicycle accidents, so I’m not too surprised at the physical condition.
If all goes well, it’ll be roped into service as a mid-to-low end web development machine and server. I’m a little worried… Twice now it’s just kind of blipped out to a black screen for no obvious reason. We’ll see how it goes.
