So the pattern emerges. I get home and stop updating. It's not that nothing is happening (because when does anything ever happen?), it's that I get lethargic and don't want to write. And I even probably have things to write. Maybe.
I started work on a new home server using Amahi, but had to stop because we had a week's worth of guests. My initial reaction was positive, but as time went on, it started to become clear that Amahi was like a lot of software out there, trying to do things that aren't within its purview. I understand why they want to run their own DNS server, but I already have one up and configured. The fact that their services only really work right if you use their DNS server is a deal breaker for me, I think. Couple that with the fact that the Greyhole service is barely acceptable and doesn't seem to properly balance storage across disks and you can start to see a product that's close, but no cigar. Maybe in a month when I'm back again I can try whatever the newest version is and see if any of this has been ironed out. The DNS thing is in their DNA, so I don't see that changing.
What else? I re-formatted my eee in anticipation of its next trip abroad - it's now running UNR v10.04 and running it very well, it seems. I'm not so much a fan of the giant icons and cartoony look of the style of netbook remixes, but i do like that everything just works and I also like having some space still on my 4GB of internal memory.
I've been working in slo-mo since I've been home, having a terrible time motivating myself to get anything done. It's like when I have more things to do than i have hours in the day, I just work steadily. When I could theoretically get everything done, I sit around and stare at nothingness. Ghetto.
Speaking of sitting around, I can't do too much more of that - gotta get a move on. Banking and trip prep doesn't do itself, after all. Errands! Parking tickets! Packing! Fun!
