Today was my catch up on sleep day mainly. I woke up just after 12pm, so I'm making a start at a reasonable amount of sleep again. I went up the mountain to meet Marissa, and downtown to meet Tara. She looks nothing like I expected, but I didn't go and search for pictures of her online before anyway. I got the mustard that I asked her to get for me in Harrods and had it with the roast beef for dinner tonight. The mustard is great!

I went back up the mountain with Marissa, and played some pool, then came back, and i've been hacking together my new server hardware mostly. If both of the hard drives work, then I'll have 10.9gb of storage in it. But I still need to find a 3 1/4" floppy drive for the system.

I'm heading to bed now, it's late enough.

Today has been nice. Woke up around 1.30pm. And I've been hacking together new computer hardware all day. Got a new scanner too, HP Scanjet 5940. w00t! It belongs to my father's work, but he will be borrowing it often.

Amongst my stuff, I've traded my compaq laptop for a Toshiba Tecra 740CDT. Which is now running linux already. It was amazingly easy to get up compared to my last laptop, which never got linux because it wouldn't run it.

I've called the laptop 'joule' in keeping with my naming system. Specs: P166MMX, 80mb RAM, 3gb HDD, 10/100 ethercard (PCMCIA). Built-in sound etc.
