Done yesterday (20111009 Su)

[mdlbear]

Another weekend day with what felt like very little done, though on reflection I actually did some things. I need to prioritize better, I suppose, given that I'm never going to have time for everything I want or even need to do.

Things that did get done include setting up the gateway to boot from its USB stick, getting bagels and cream cheese for lunch (the lox was the second half of the package Colleen bought at Costco the week before last), and another 3-mile walk on the Los Gatos Creek trail.

I'm pretty happy with the USB stick (which is actually an 8GB micro-SD card) -- it saves a couple of watts over the old laptop drive, and should be more reliable. Some additional work will be needed to get around the fact that it no longer includes a mirror of my websites and audio -- those will have to be reverse-proxied from the fileserver.

Oh, and a little work on chording and scripting for Tempered Glass material.

Anyway... I guess it was ok. Links, as usual, below in the notes.

1009 Su
  * up 7:50; W=198.4; drugs, nose, teeth, hair, dishes, exercise
  @ The History of Digital Storage [INFOGRAPHIC]
    Fails to mention the constant doubling of bits/dollar for rotating
    magnetic memory that has held steady for over half a century.
  * stargate:  remove sda, boot from USB stick.  Fix grub -if necessary-
    had to edit the grub menu: change kernel command to use root=/dev/sda1
    "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" after booting.
    : sweet! UPS load on stargate now down to 3%, run time 9min > nova.
  * deposit check
  * bagels and lox for lunch.  (The lox came from Costco; we got two Sundays
    out of that one slab.)

    Clark Pest Control  (heat)
  * walk:  3mi on the Los Gatos Creek trail again.
    unsuccessful shopping trip afterwards.
  * did mkfs on the laptop disk, but mount hangs, which is weird.  I'm
    guessing a bad block someplace critical.  
    -> ok, not hanging, but it takes 26 seconds to mount.  :P
    * now formatting the two small partitions with -c -c (~2h each)
  * 15min: working chords.
  * laundry:  the flowered quilt.

  * verified that a mic stand clamp-on side bar fits Chami's handle
