It’s arrived! Good grief, Charlie Brown. One full week to go before I’m back to the grind (something I’m not looking forward to, but I have to eat) …and almost loses. It wasn’t half bad, actually - got to catch up with Paul and his missus among other relatives I don’t see too frequently. As usual, the food is plentiful and good. Payday finally arrived! I’d been looking at a good UPS (uninterruptible power supply for the non-hacker/tech readers) and finally settled on the APC RS 500 (about $AU300). It was painless to install and even with my current-sucking bittybox (ie pong, the environmentally-unsound old beast it is) I’ve got 15mins post-powercut to get my shit together [...] …here’s a desktop screenshot. I’ve been running GNOME for who knows how long now - thought about KDE (nah) and Fluxbox (almost..) but stuck with what I know best. It just Works. I seem to have “fixed” the entropy-drain problem I had after I upgraded qbert to FC5. It took a little time (and some activity, good old find / -type f | wc -l helped get the numbers up) and a nifty little hack from Folkert Van Heusden in “audio-entropyd” (now part of my repository) |
