First post from the iBook using Ubuntu Linux and Airport Extreme Wifi! Running on live cd now but the sucker is as fast as this machine has ever been. Now I want to see how it does when installed on the hard drive.

Battery is about to go so will close for now.

Been working on moving shelving and such from the old PCH building in Jville the last few days. Moving it to the 14 wide. Got 12 4ft face sections in the main room now. That translates to 2 sets of 2 wall units and 2 sets of 2 double sided gondolas. Whole lot of storage/sales area. Also got one set of 2 wall units and one set fo 2 double sided gondolas in the the northmost room. Still got room for several (4 I hope) wall units in there.

Each hall will get 3 or 4 wall units and the back (south most) room will get a set of 2 doublesided gondolas to go with the shelves already in there.

Got the ladder moved over there today and went up to look at the roof problem(s). Most of it is in the walls. Has a lot of damage right at the roof line. I am thinking of screwing metal (of whatever type) over the gaps after filling them with foam. Got a roof vent in the bathroom that is crushed that I may just remove as no bathroom is needed (there is no water line over there).

Having a do nothing day. Over did it yesterday. Took down 48 feet of shelving at PCH and then worked till nearly 9 getting some back up at the trailer. Playing with computers today.

More later. Maybe… 😉

Interesting breakdown of the $$$ spent on server sales – Windoze, Unix, and Linux.

What I’d like to see is how many of each is out there in the wild on the internets.
