open fucking source me
I've finally found a use for the Worst Laptop Ever, which - if you're disinclined to click that link - is a classic Pentium clocked at 133 megahertz (as in, the things gigahertz are made of) and with thirty-eight megabytes of RAM. For what it's worth, the keyboard on that machine may have been built by God itself to bring orgasm to my fingertips: but since it's connected to the computational equivalent of a spoon full of pipe cleaner pieces and Jello, that ain't real helpful.
It has now officially taken over for our server box in the realms of IRCD/eggdrop hosting, as well as keeping DynDNS up to date with our godawfully frequent IP changes - which matters to maybe 1.5 people.
The fan on the "real" (1.4 gigahertz) server keeps certain members of the house awake at night, so we've had this obnoxious up again/down again thing going on. I'm pretty amped.
...Which brings me to a concept that might only interest me: using a weaker, always-on machine to interface between the outside world and a more powerful, sporadic device. Maybe I could use the laptop to cache shared files and emails and a second store for my Tomboy notes and mediate for when the boxy server is-
Nevermind, that's a horrible idea and I'm ashamed for having it. It sucks I don't have any way to, I don't know, delete what I've already written.
The more I use Ubuntu, the less I want to use Windows - I seriously haven't booted into XP since July 8th or so.
LOOK AT ME BEEP BEEP BEEP OSS FANBOY BEEP BEEP FUCK RICHARD STALLMAN
