psipsyWanderlust claws at the back of my throat like a vampire's blood cravings. Going on sporadic day-trips helps keep this in check but I know that will eventually lose its effectiveness, especially after I learn enough about the backroads around here. There are still enough to keep me occupied for the time being.
A week from now I'm going to be on first shift. For a week. Then it'll be back to second shift. It's going to be rough, but it's also for some training at work. I have a plan.
The Home Server plan is going forward, although it's becoming a fully functional desktop machine in its own right. Put the memory at 4gb and replaced the Ubuntu variant with Windows 7 Pro, which is more friendly with sharing folders. I just could not get Ubuntu to play nice with the others. That doesn't mean I gave up on it, I'm probably going to reinstall it on another hard drive and use it for diagnostics and general learning. Also, the onboard video "works", but if I throw a 1080p video file at it, it chokes. I'm thinking an actual video card would help with that. And, for staying with the original purpose of this machine, more hard drives. 2TB drives are floating just over a hundred bucks, especially for the low-power ones. Ah, computer upgrades, there is no end to them.

Sleepytime now.
