Hit the ground running this morning...

Congratulations! You accomplished one verb more than I did.

I had less than a dozen email to review, then the power went out at our Hayward HQ, so the VPN croaked, and I was relegated to "island" status. So, I busied myself doing a couple of rudimentary training sequences required for security badging and "trade restricted" data access.

The weekend was more fun; I was able to sucessfully test my home-made Windows XP Pro SP3 CD. It loaded my licenced copy of XP Pro onto a "naked" PC with Service Pack 3 included. [cool]

The one downer was that, after that bit of fun, I couldn't get my Kubuntu DVD to work on the same machine [Compaq Presario 450MHz P3 224MB RAM, 15GB c:\ and 13GB D:\]. But, I had fun tweakin' with it, anyway.

Cool indeed! Though my computer work this weekend was limited to an installation of Hardy Heron(? Kubuntu 8), re-loading my user directory (didnt partition /home separately), and trying to tweak things to get them right.

Like getting the keyboard installation right...

Thatś a bit of a small machine for Kubuntu, no?
