Comments Off on A mostly worthless day

By Dave, June 3, 2004 7:59 pm

Over did it yesterday with all the heavy moving. Been in bed most of the day trying to get over it. Hope to be back at it a bit tomorrow. Just got to slow down it seems like.

Have been upright enough to cook two meals today. So I guess not a total waste. Read a bit too. Rereading the Sarah Kelling Mystery series. Or the ones I have of them. Still a few of the early ones I don't have.

Airport Extreme Driver install calling for a restart. Hope to be back soon…

Comments Off on Bookshelf in place

By Dave, June 2, 2004 10:26 pm

Cleared a bit over 64 cubic feet of crap out of the front room's east wall today. That allowed us to move the 12 foot by 3 foot shelving unit to that side. Set it up on blocks atop boards atop blocks on the floor. The area under the first shelf is filled with plow points and parts.

After the shelves were in place I started moving boxes of books down from the attic above the kitchen. Cat was loading them on the shelves as fast as I could bring them down… Got half of them from the attic and the ones at the end of the bed moved down so far. Only a few more crates left to move down. Tomorrow I want to move more crap out of the front room. Figure we can get enough cleared in there to move the books from the Mercantile here and start sorting and listing them.

The listing is still bugging me. How best to do it. I have a program on here for a library but I want something that will allow me to enter the isbn and have the data imported from Amazon or where ever if its available. I also want to be able to scan the cover in, take orders and have autoupdated inventory control. In other words a online used book store. Haven't been able to find what I want yet though. Guess I will keep looking or break down and try to write something that will do what I need…

This sounds like the next logical step in solidstate storage is now here. Of course adding a processor is going to add to the overhead in power usage but the added security certainly makes it the way to go. And also paves the way for onboard applications that will run totally within the memstick dataspace! Now thats COOL!

Comments Off on burning pix to backup disk

By Dave, May 31, 2004 8:21 pm

trying to get the pix that we (Cat and I) have taken since I have had the iBook backed up to cd. 1334 pix to the disk and that leaves a couple of meg empty but is close enough for me. seem to have taken somewhere over 3000 pix since we got the Nikon Coolpix 2500. Got to get a gallery up somewhere/how.

Took a walk earlier. Then another with Cat later. Took the cam the second walk out and around. Didn't use it much at all. Barely had energy to get me out and about both times and only did it with help of a cane. Need to take some meds and lie down for a bit.

makes me wonder what they or even if they think at all.

he's gay! she's a sinner! God says they can't have communion!

damn if i know. either way. my feeling is its none of my or their business what anyones sexual orientation is.

makes me wonder if they (the ones trying to keep the gays from taking communion) think they have the right to speak for their god.

I sure as hell don't have the right to tell anyone what to or not to do unless it involves me or one of mine and I don't think anyone else does either. we each have to confront our maker alone. makes me almost "pity the fools" as someone once said…

still got the crud. whatever it is. running nose. full chest. can't think my way out of a second grade crossword puzzle. taking expectorant and it seems to be helping. some at least. putting me to sleep every time i take it but 3 hrs later when i wake i have more energy and head is cleared out some.

got some things done in here after the first batch this afternoon. cleared the top shelf of the computer center and put an old pair of speakers up there along with the McIntosh MA5100 Preamp-Amplifier and hooked the iBook to them. Sound is MUCH better now!

picked the first tomato today! haven't tried it yet. waiting to get a pix of it before eating… battery is charged and cam ready just me sleeping too many hours a day and having no operational brain right now. will try to get the snap taken sometime today.

guess i will try to get a bit more sleep before the nasties get here.
