I haven’t mentioned it for awhile now, but the blog client I’d written about is actually functional code now. I’ve been blogging with it for about a month and it works consistently. For me anyway. I’ve been meaning to do a write up on it and make the code available, but I held off because there are still a few thing bothering me about it. I’ve actually rectified one of those things as of today, but there are still a couple of other items I’d like to chew on a little longer before I do anything further with it.
I’ve assembled the last drawer and fit it to the cabinet. I haven’t had a chance to install the drawerslide clips on it yet. The dovetailing on this last one is by far the best of the three. Perhaps a little later this week I’ll be able to get some picture up. All that’s left now is to put a top-surface together, then finish it and the bottom half will be completed. Work on the top half will start quickly thereafter.
My server is basically back up and running now. Interestingly, to me anyway, I have fewer packages installed on it now than I did before. The only things I have left to install are apache and wordpress for local blogging. Performance is noticably better than the old system and the 64-bit flavor of Linux seems to perform just fine, thank you very much.
Also on the computer front, I installed a 1.5 TB drive on the Wife’s PC. NTFS snarfed up over 100G of it though. That seemed a little egregious to me, but the computer recognizes it and it’s for backup, so I’m not going to try and go any further with it.
Last, and far from least, a belated Happy Birthday to the lass. She turned 4 this past week. Her favorite gift is the camera her grandparent’s got her. It takes 1.3 megapixel pictures and had some fun effects she can enable with the push of a button. No removable media for it- everything has to be pulled off via USB. She also likes the dollhouse. Finally she has a place to use her princess dolls. She also likes the special book from her other grandparents. She was delighted to find out she was the main character in a book.
With that, so ends January. 11 more to go…
