Colorful Colorado
Well, I made it to Colorado without incident, though I’m quite strung out from having driven all night. I’m currently posting from the wacky network of computers at my parent’s house. I set the network up years ago, and over time, new parts have come and gone, new computers get added, and settings change. They have DSL now also, whereas when I lived here, it wasn’t available in the area. Anyway, its odd to see what is basically a highly entropized and evolved version of a network I set up long ago. They still use the holes I drilled in the floor to pass cables from the first floor to the second.
Greg’s Power Mac 8500 is running happily, and he is quite excited to have a new computer around. Unfortunately, from its current location on the kitchen table, it can’t reach a network cable to the router, and is hence bound to disconnection, a fate worse than death for the moment, so we have just been playing ancient games on it, like Stunt Copter and Asterex, things dug out of piles of ancient mac floppy disks left over from when our IIsi was the most powerful computer in the house (wow, that sounds wierd to say.)
Posts will be sporadic through the week, but since the network here seems to work, I’ll post some.
