Figures, an awesome night and I'm stuck at work dealing with virus

LinuxBIOS but a connection crash (vnc through ssh) killed an hours
worth of work... :(
Forest and I delivered two gaylords of our plastic to another
recycler. We lose the gaylord/skids and must replace them, but get
rid of plastic at no further cost.
Not free but I'll take it considering what our alternatives were....
:: FreeBox Count for Perley and Modems
I counted 24 completed FreeBoxes in our inventory at one point last
night. I think Mike and Forest added 3 more later. We are about half
way to the 60 units needed for the Perley School project.
If it helps the cause I'll start hauling boxes home and load / debug
them when I've got spare time.
VL 5.9-beta2 has been released. I don't know whether this release
will remain in the VL 5.x tree or morph into VL 6.0. VL 5.x is based
on Slack 11. VL 5.9-beta2 is based on Slack 12. Once we know what the
final release version will be - I think VL 6 - we need to decide
whether to upgrade the 24+ FreeBoxes set aside for Perley to the new
VL Standard Edition.

Wow. There are some significant changes there. I'd hate to hold up
the release to Perley but it just might be worth the wait. I'll be
sure to download and take a look at it with the dialup modem issue in
mind.
BTW, are those test modem we bought to try out still at the Sally lab?
:: Data Center Pickup
The network admin from the data center picked up the ATX mid-tower
cases and the server cases. He gave me cash for the server racks and
the cases.
Time to get the next ones done :)
:: Bathrooms
As soon as we empty the stored material in the bathrooms in our
offices, the plumbing will be restored. We should start with the
women's room because there is a men's room available elsewhere in the
plant, but no women's room anywhere but our office.
This is a priority. The lease holder, our benefactor, asked me to
clear out the women's bathroom. He has a female employee who is
tiring of sharing a bathroom with the men in the plant.
That is the bathroom closest to the warehouse, right? We can restack
the servers into the racks temporarily, that huge copier is another
story... Yes I have a release to start exercising and lifting stuff
(Yes!) but with care, not too much twisting, etc.
:: New Rack Space Coming
Expect new rack space soon. Also expect to do a lot more deman work
when it happens. The project to add rack space by our office will
resurrect in about 3 weeks. Our warehouse benefactor needs more
manufacturing and storage space for a new hose and fittings contract
and wants to clear our gaylords from the rack space at the other end
of the warehouse. They can't move our material until new rack space
is erected.
We talking about the East wall?
*** On another subject ***
Debian server (gnucash, etc) Should have that server there ready
to install Thursday night. I'm going to nic it tonight and re-config
it as the gateway box. I will have ssh running on port 222 ready for
you (Tom) to punch port 222 through to it.
