looking back...

The past week took, oh, about a month -- local time dilation. Much happened... good and bad. Thanks to ... fellow-adventurers, sweeties, and friends, for the lack of a better description.

Indirect retail therapy...

Getting ready to scatter people and equipment around, over the next few months... I've bought a few new project toys. Three ThinkPad T42s and RedHat ES ([personal profile] hopeforyou wanted AS, but that was overkill for a single-CPU laptop...). Wireless base stations. IP phones. Memory cards and sticks... no more Jaz drives in the field! Portable 40GB ruggedized drives. Extra power adapters with DC and European converters. Utility software. Perhaps $10-12K worth, over the past couple of days. I'm tempted to go ahead and replace my 3+ year old Ti-book, as the screen keeps briefly flashing at random intervals... but I keep hoping that the long-awaited G5 Powerbook will be out soon. Mustn't forget more batteries...
