I have really been a glutten for punishment today.  Reformatted my primary hard disk in anticipation of repartitioning it and installing Linux on HD2, now trying to decide what to put back.   I’ve done this many, many times but it still gives the willies with a Windows machine.  Jeeze!  There’s stuff on the backup DVDs I haven’t touched since January.  Talk about rust, but I am not complaining.  When I started with computers you couldn’t even get a megabyte on a sloppy floppy and backups were a constant pain in the ass.  Now the computer just asks for a fresh DVD-RW once in a while and tells me what number to write on it.  

While the drive formatted I went tudors down for coffee with my hippy friend Rick.  True to form, the Lava Lamp was lit, Richie Blackmore on cassette, Cheech n Chong on VHS.  Was I really that crazy in the 70’s?  Don’t’ even need an answer, of course I was, ‘just don’t like to admit that I finally left Never Never Land.  Some of my friends never did, and a lot of them aren’t with us anymore.  More rust.

The blog plugin for Word is installed, this will be the first test of it.  There’s seems to be no documentation to go with it.  Can I include pictures?  Sounds? Movies?  Smellorama?  Will they upload along with the HTML, or do I have to do that separately via HTTP or FTP?  Guess I’ll find out right now.
