Oct. 20th, 2004 02:32 pmI think I ate a slightly moldy bagel after getting home today. It's probably a measure of how much better about food I am that I didn't find myself running to the bathroom shortly after this discovery. The deed having been done, it doesn't freak me out any more than, say, contemplating another four years of a Bush presidency. (Yes, that's a pretty big freakout but it's still a possible future event that I can keep hoping won't come to pass so I'm not freaking out yet. Though the matter of whether George Bush or a moldy bagel is more palatable is very debatable, I'm told that we dogs have cast iron stomachs so with a little luck I'll survive either one with little permanent injury.)
In other news, my mate and I are going to MFF next month; I just made the hotel reservation. Sounds like we're probably road-tripping with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chernabog_69. Hmm, I'm not sure that three grown up type people will fit in my truck. The back seat is such in name only- my 16 year old brother said he was cramped back there and he's a bean pole. We shall see...
Yesterday I updated geekland with a new surge-suppressor strip with eight outlets due to having filled up the twelve of them on the UPSs over on that end of the room. Another UPS would be nicer, but I'm only putting intermittant use computers on it. Still, I am inordinately excited about having six functional computers hooked up in here. I've got my XP3000 running 2K as my main system. I just hooked up my PII 333 system to put XP on; the idea is that, after a memory upgrade, that'll become my general work system for email, ebay, and livejournal stuff leaving the 3000 as a gaming/special purpose machine. Then I've got Andrea's PII 400(450) box running 2K, my P-Pro 200 box running 2K Pro and serving up http and email, my PIII Xeon 1Ghz box running 2K Advanced Server which will (hopefully soon) replace the Pro, and finally my little 486 Win3.11/Dos box for old games. I'm geeked! There's something immensely satisfying to me about just sitting on my chair (incidentally, I fixed Andrea's dad's chair that fell apart on me, much to her happiness; Go geeks with tools!) and just looking at all my systems spread out around the room...
Anyway, I need to take some ebay pictures and write some copy and probably take a Win2K server practice exam. As that goes on, with the documentation I found at a thrift store a while back, I'm going to try to re-remember how to play Nobunaga's Ambition II. Once I was one of the most feared warlords of Feudal Japan. Now I start my turn and just try to figure out what all those little numbers mean. In the meantime, I'm finally going to start up Trillian. Yay!
