It’s freezing outside today. It’s not too bad really, except because of all the buildings downtown, the winds really whip at high speed. It’s probably only -5C (actually it’s -19C) but with the wind it feels like absolute zero.
Looking forward to a relatively relaxing weekend. I’m hoping to get my desktop computers all fixed up and ready to go - I stripped the one practically bare, in preparation for installing Linux on it to play with hosting this site myself. Then I took all the parts and jammed them into the other computer, which now doesn’t boot. I think I’m going to have to remove them one at a time to get it working. The linux-bound box should be set up this weekend, though I might have some fun trying to configure the router to let me through. First, I have to give the server a static internal IP, then open the appropriate ports. Shouldn’t be too bad, but I might have to work on getting the server set up. It’s been a long long time since I’ve played with Linux, so what little I did know is now long forgotten. I look forward to learning it all over again.
