Another Wednesday conquered

Or at least, survived. Major roof leaks due to ice dams at work. The building is only ten years old, but to tell the truth, the roof has always leaked. The original contractors did a second rate job on quite a few things. Upgrading various older computers that fill supporting roles. All of them have been running Linux long enough to need new kernels and new OS versions, so I'm going to Debian Lenny with all of them. It's much easier to maintain than Slackware. Today I had the pleasure of formatting one that had an old version of Red Hat installed on it. I dislike Red Hat intensely and never was happy about that particular machine (which was set up by paid consultants not too long after I started this job.)

Gave up on the search for water activated gummed paper tape locally, and ordered a roll from Dick Blick. It turned out that the library's office supply place could get it for me, but I'd have to order a case at once. Each roll is 600 feet long, which is practically a lifetime supply in my case, so I certainly don't need six rolls.

geekery, art, work
