The Day the Music (server) Died...

[mcroft]

That day was Wednesday. Also the day I got a root canal. The server problem was worse.

Dead power supply, and $100 to get a used replacement. We considered our options, and decided to get a Mac mini instead. It's a small, low power box and it should be significantly faster for the apps we're using than the circa 2000 G4 that it's replacing.

So

new mini-> webserver
webserver->mailserver
mailserver->music server

Yeah, I've got a weekend of work. possibly two. Good thing I like doing this stuff.

Depends on where you go. Greenwich Village is mob central. Other places, I don't know.

Maybe we could join you and jalabert on Weds?

I think that could be fun...so long as I'm not ripped off by pickpockets, my real fear in crowds.

Let's keep in touch by cell phone on Wednesday. You're obviously welcome to join us. I'd forgotten that JL and I had discussed the possibility of eating in Brooklyn since I've seen much of Manhattan and little of the remainder of the city. If it looks like that's the only time I'm going to see you, though, I guess we'll have to change our plans.
