TUESDAY
======
:: Another One Bites the Concrete
A donor dropped off a P4, 1600 MHz, 256 MB, XP Home box Tuesday. Forest
was using it on a cart in the warehouse to test monitors. Kevin
"brushed" the cart with the fork lift and dislodged the P4 on to the
concrete.
After that, it wouldn't boot. Oops.
Kevin no longer needs to feel embarrassed. Goose traced the issue
backwards from the power supply, to the mobo, to the power switch, to
the button on the front panel on which a piece of plastic loosened and
misaligned the on/off button from the power switch. Goose reinstalled
the hard drive and booted the box. We grant Kevin a Mulligan
:: Tubular Dudes
Mike, Dale, Kevin, and I sorted gaylords for untested and bad monitors.
We emptied two gaylords and have three empty rack spaces. Forest will
take the bad monitors to Men of Scars and the bare CRTs to the Solid
Waste District.
The downside is we had to move boxes out of the warehouse and into the
office. We had cleared the walls and were clearing under the table. The
office looked great. Now it looks crowed again.
THURSDAY
=======
:: Return of the Hungarian Mafia
In spite of the fact Hungary had little organized crime until the
Russians took over, Joe, Elena, Charles and friends have been
affectionately dubbed the Hungarian Mafia. Joe, Elena and Charles have
been absent for several weeks. It turns out Joe's car took a dive. He
showed up to work tonight. Elena and Charles stopped by for awhile too,
but I missed them.
I tallied Joe's time, and he has enough hours for 3 FreeBoxes. His goal
is 5.
:: A Riveting Request
I sent the rivet-dev list a list of steps to install Rivet on a
Slackware 12.1 box with Apache 2.2.8 and mentioned Goose had done the
same on Debian. As a result, the most active developer at the
apache-rivet project has decided to write a SLACKWARE.install based on
my instructions and asked me to help edit the file. He also asked Goose
and me to contribute a rivet.deb package for Debian Testing. The Rivet
project leader mentioned that using Checkinstall to create the .deb
probably would be fine for Testing but wouldn't be acceptable for
official Debian.
