Thursday on the mend
Or so it seems. Still not feeling good but am a lot better than yesterday. Didn’t get much of anything done today, but didn’t sleep the day away like yesterday so think that’s progress. Drove to the top of the hill and sat in the sun and read for a while in the afternoon. Came down and tried to crank Tim’s truck but the battery was dead again. Got the charger and put on it. It seems to be taking a charge but as drained as it was left it on trickle overnight tonight. Will try it in the morning and see if it will crank. Had just gotten the charger on when Tim and Bob drove in with the camper that Bob is selling Tim. Got it kinda parked and unhooked for now and will move it around into it’s permanent location with the tractor later. Got dark on us and Bill built a fire which Tom, Cat, Bill and I sat around for an hour or so till it got cold enough to run us all in. Came in, got firewood in for the night, ate, and sat down to this. Gonna read for a bit and try for an early night. Till the morrow.
My day was about medium productive. Got some things done, and I THINK I got a printer problem fixed–time will tell. Fighting bellsouth.net mail right now on a computer I am working on. From the things going on, I suspect that the merger/takeover has caused some service issues. Ya think? Oh corporate America, how do we love thee? Mainly tied up in a positon goatse.cx would think twice about posting. But I digress…
I think I am cursed as far as Linux goes. I install according to detailed tutorials, and then nothing works right. I LOVE the tutorials where they have a picture of every screen that comes up in an install, even the most obvious ones imaginable, but when they get to the text commands, they just assume that you know what you are doing. Hand holding has its place, and it seems that most people don’t know/care where it is…OK, OK, rant over. I haven’t given up yet, I AM going to get a server going. It can’t be THAT hard, can it? I guess it was just one of those days/weeks/years/lives….
