A good day -- better than I expected, in fact. Work had an off-site team-building shindig at Malibu Grand Prix -- pizza and go-cart racing. More fun than I expected; also more physical -- those little carts have no power steering. Some decent conversations.

On the way home I stopped at Fry's in Palo Alto and picked up another batch of microfiber cleaning cloths, and an Intel D510M0 fanless atom mini-ITX board. The idea is to replace my fileserver with something that gobbles a lot less power. It would also free up my present fileserver to be my desktop; it has a faster CPU and more RAM than my current one. (I'd be tempted to get another D510MO, but I think that would be an unnecessary expense.)

My power bills are outrageous at the moment; I've also taken to shutting my desktop off at night.

Not a lot of links today, but you're welcome to 'em.
