Of course, I've forgotten Linux and the only password I remember is ROOT...
Today I am updating from Seshat, the desktop I had in college that is still running Linux Red Hat 7.3. Mom's new computer was bought yesterday, so we decided to take today to look at all crap in the computer room, set up the stuff that we want to have working, and get rid of all the rest of it. So my old desktop actually has a desk to sit on now! And a monitor of its own!\o/
Now to finish sorting through the junk. And then figure out how to put security on the wireless router. And get networking, filesharing, and printer sharing working right on all four functional computers, one of which is running Win95, one of which is running XP, one of which is running Vista, and one of which is running six-year-old Linux.
It should be great fun!
And then I will go get the broken computer and see what I can salvage from it. It would be nice if I could set this box up to dual-boot off its hard drive, but I've never done that before, so also fun!
(and OTW put up its official Ruby stuff which I need to download and look at soonest, too.)
Also, this computer has 5,000 mp3s on it that I haven't had regular access to in years. Just what I needed!

(I've got all my shit plus Kevin's collection as of 3 years ago. His has grown and I need to up-date my copy of his stuff at some point.)
I want a lap top now. I want to sit in a warm spot in a hammock and organize my mp3s, or talk to my people, or tag/sort my fiction community, or even just type in what i've got written of NaNo thus-far. Did you know, that if my only goal were "To Surpass the Quantity I wrote Last Year," I will blow by that tonight? After only 5 days of November. As opposed to the whole month I floundered last year.
I think this all falls under the category of "what to do if i ever find myself to be insanely wealthy." Well, not the NaNo writing, but the hammock and the mp3s and the laptop and all that.

Plus there's all these other files on here. Luckily, it pre-dates me getting a digital camera.
On the plus side, I've got networking and filesharing (And hopefully printersharing) set up for all the other computers! So now they can all access the floppy drive.
Guess what I just found! The backup files of my first website *ever*!!! 1998, baybay.

heh. I've been writing and as soon as i'm finished this scene, i'm gonna stop and figure out what i have to panic about homework-wise. The professor never responded to me. Maybe he never got my email. that would suck.
Kevin's invited me over to do homework and eat vegetarian omelettes for dinner. Sweet and generous, but if i don't know what needs doing, i'm only going to be distracted and grumpy the whole time i'm there.
lemme know if we're touching bases to do more writing tonight.
