I will need to do C and C++ programming in a course next term.

I wrote some good email Saturday morning long but good.

I downloaded the gcc compiler and dependent packages for the TP360. I did the downloading on the WinNT box and then copied the files to a floppy. I then copied them to the TP with cp. I then tried to use dselect to install them and dpkg as well. I am not sure either worked. I had to mount the floppy on the command line.

I added a line to the lilo config file on my TP360 so that the floppy can be used. I used the vi editor correctly to do this. I did this a few days ago like Saturday or last Friday morning.

I got a gnome desktop working on the 586 that a friend gave me. I am doing this X windows desktop on my IBM 17" monitor. It looks fine and I am going to try some XML and Perl scripting later this morning using gEdit.

I sold one clik drive and two clik disks this morning to the corner store owner who uses a win laptop.

I installed a security update on my eMac.

I bought new printer ink cartridges for my Epson 440.

I used the new USB 250MB zip drive with my dad's laptop to transfer my photos and his photo's between our computers but it would not work for my brother's Mac.

I had trouble printing with Publisher 97.

I installed the drivers for my Canon SureShot 100 on my Thinkpad. I took some photo's today of my dad and his partner's house.

I got some help from OCLUG with correcting the screen resolution issue with my RH 9 but still not fixed.

I looked for Linux PDA's a few nights ago on the web and at Futureshop on the web.

I attempted my rescue boot of the Red Hat 9 on the IBM 325. I was not successful. I was able to log in but the screen resolution is still off.

I updated my index page on my main personal web site just now. I made a new blogs web page at crystalcomputing.

I worked on my thinkpad mostly since the weekend. I also booted up my NT box to grab some files to this laptop. I also sent the laptop school files over to the NT box.

I returned the wingman from a friend because I don't have any computers with game ports. Oh well I am just not a gamer. I had helped this fellow install a sound card so he could use the wingman. I got him a sidewinder last x-mas as a gift.

I have been using Open Office 1.1 and Publisher 97 as well as outlook express and netscape.

I am working this week on a newsletter that I edit for my union.

I accessed an email account at a free email account service that I had not used in years. It was still there. There were only a handful of new emails nothing personal and nothing new as I get the notices about service from this service at a more used free email address this service provides.

I am looking for a Mac printer cable and might pick up a cheap 580CD while I am at it.

I booted up the Debian 3 machine and explored Debian a bit. I found texinfo and started to familiarise myself with using texinfo. I could not get X to work.

This Thinkpad needs another 256 MB of memory it is so slow with only 128MB.

I backed up this blog by copying into the clipboard and then pasting into a word processing file. I did each month and then saved them to my Thinkpad hard drive. I now can back those files up to zip disk or email them to another computer.

I need to make more comments in my html code.

I should find some time this weekend to do some more computer hobby work. I am still reading ruling the root by Mueller.
