So much to write about!
The most pressing news is that on Wednesday I will be flying down to the Atlanta/Athens, GA area for a week. I will return next Tuesday.
Already procured for the trip? A set of four tickets to see the Braves play on Saturday, along with four MORE tickets to the Braves game on Sunday.
It is not coincidence that I am going to visit Georgia this weekend, nor that I have tickets to these games. You see, everyone's favorite baseball team, the Boston Red Sox, will be traveling down to Turner Field this weekend, as well.
( Speaking of Red Sox games... )
At work we now have a few extra computers. One is a 500MHz Indigo iMac (dual firewire, 512MB of RAM, 20GB HD, CD-RW). One of the others is a Mac Classic.
While I am moving in the not-too-distant future, I had some thoughts about acquiring them.
The plan for the Indigo would be to rip out the CRT and the guts of the machine. Find a small case to jam the MLB, the PSU, and the hard drive (and other parts needed to get it running). Basically a G3 Mac mini. Toss the CRT (in an environmentally friendly manner, of course), and give the shell to a friend for a cat bed.
The plan for the Mac Classic is more obvious - MacQuarium! There are some good directions out there. I think with my experience building Pixel's aquarium, this should be fairly easy.
Ponies will have an appropriate home in the back of the Fruit Stand!
In completely unrelated news, I signed up for a team triathlon with two coworkers for the middle of July. Anyone in the Boston area who wants to help cheer us on (or just provide transportation and logistical support), let me know!
